Dutch Member of Parliament Peter van Haasen has accused Curaçao’s Prime Minister Gilmar ‘Pik’ Pisas of misusing recent remarks made by Dutch State Secretary Zsolt Szabó regarding the progress of the Landspakket (Country Packages) reforms. Van Haasen made these statements in an interview with a local media.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Pisas expressed optimism about the implementation of the Landspakketten, citing positive comments from Secretary of State Szabó as a sign of progress. However, Van Haasen strongly disagrees, arguing that Pisas is using Szabó’s remarks as political leverage ahead of the upcoming March 21 elections.

According to Van Haasen, there is still a long way to go in fully implementing the Landspakketten, despite Pisas’ optimistic tone. He emphasized that there is no real progress in catching up on necessary reforms, particularly in financial accountability, as Curaçao’s annual financial reports have yet to receive consistent approval. Additionally, Van Haasen pointed out that the island’s debt continues to rise, contradicting any claims of significant financial improvement.

With the March elections approaching, political tensions over the pace and effectiveness of Curaçao’s reforms are becoming more pronounced. The debate highlights ongoing concerns about Curaçao’s financial stability and the Dutch government’s oversight of the island’s economic policies.
