WILLEMSTAD – Last night, the leaders of three political parties signed an agreement for the formation of a new government for Curaçao.

The political parties that have agreed to form a government together are the winner of the elections, PAR, with MAN and the new party of former Minister of Traffic, Transport and Spatial Planning Suzanne Camelia-Römer, the PIN.

The agreement between the three parties was obvious, given the cooperation in former coalitions. The parties have agreed to work together on a coalition government based on stability, integrity and order. Together the three parties will have a majority of 12 of the 21 seats in Parliament.
