PHILIPSBURG:— In June of 2023, State Secretary Van Huffelen stated that the Governments of Curacao and St. Maarten would have to find solutions to salvage Ennia. Shortly thereafter, Pro Soualiga kindly requested the State Secretary to provide the Government of St. Maarten with a sound legal basis whereby a government is fiscally responsible for the financial irregularities of an insurance company. How is the Dutch State currently legally offside on three varying fronts in relation to the Ennia ordeal? Firstly, the Dutch State declared to the International Court of Justice in February of 2018 that “the decisions on the political status and the economic, social and cultural development are made by the people itself, or its legitimate representatives, not by others. Moreover, such decisions shall be made in full freedom, without any outside pressure or interference."
