The NA leader said that State Secretary of Kingdom Relations, Anke Bijleveld-Schouten, is expected to visit St. Maarten next week as well as the Parliamentarians, and Governor of the Netherlands Antilles.
These officials he said are scheduled to meet with the executive council and since the current executive council has lost its majority, he felt the honorable thing for them to do now is to resign. "I believe the Lt. Governor can now write a letter to the remaining commissioners and urge them to resign since that would be the honorable thing for them to do." Marlin said.
Marlin further explain that the reason the leader of the Democratic Party has decided to post date their resignation to June 8 is to delay the process and hold on somewhat longer to their commissioner's seat. Marlin further explained that had the National Alliance brought forth a motion of non-confidence then it would take at least three weeks before the process is finalized.
