Philipsburg:--- Minister of Labour and Heath Maria Buncamper Molanus held her grounds on Monday evening when she met with the board of the Democratic Party to discuss the sale of the economic rights of a parcel of land she obtained by long lease. Sources close to the DP board said that Buncamper Molanus maintained that she did not do anything illegal when she made the three million dollar deal with ECO GREEN N.V which was established three days prior to the transaction that was done on December19 2008. SMN News has been reliably informed that every member of the DP board told the Minister that she has to resign since the so called land deal has left a bad image on the Democratic Party and their coalition government. According to our sources if the Minister remains persistent, then the Democratic Party would have take the matter to parliament for the Minister's dismissal from office.Shortly after the meeting on Monday evening the president of the Democratic Party issued a press release stating that the Democratic Party has concluded its internal discussions and has agreed to discuss the matter with their coalition partner. It is expected that the coalition meeting will take place on Tuesday December 21st. The party president said the Democratic Party also reserves the right to further comment until after their coalition meeting.
