If you only think people in government are honest to society and being paid for focussing on helping their country develop, sadly I have to inform you that you have to double consider your thoughts.
Doesn't matter from which country you are, there is always somebody in the government who is thinking about him/herself instead of the country.
Normally I would not waste my time with writing about this topic because it has been seen as normal for decades by many countries. Unfortunately corruption, power abuse, and nepotism is getting out of hand in Curacao. Due to the fact the island is small it is more obvious. Our latest politicians e.g. Gerrit Schotte, Marvelyne Wiels, Charles Cooper, Abdul Nasser El Hakim, etc damaged the good image and the hope of a honest government. They choose to lie to their own people. They choose to abuse their power. They choose to put their own country in a shame position infront of other countries.
Curacao is a great and stable country. There are many business opportunities and there are many high qualified honest people. With this blog I only would like to be transparant to those businessmen who would like to do business with Curacao. Maybe you might hear negative news or information about Curacao via your embassy/ business partners/ media or internet but I would like to say and express that only a small amount of people are responsible for it. Curacao is in a development stage and it offers great investment opportunity for everybody who would like to invest in new markets.
