On January 8, 2023, I write a letter proposing that the MinBZK (together with the Island Council of EUX pick up the gauntlet.
On January 29, 2023 I write a letter to the National Coordinator against Discrimination and Racism about the institutional discrimination of the Caribbean Netherlands by the NL central government (and its laws and regulations).
On March 19, 2023, I once again write a warm plea to equalize the laws and regulations in the Caribbean Netherlands as much as possible with the European Netherlands. I also make some observations on recent developments on St. Eustatius. On April 12, 2023, I repeat yet again.
On April 25, 2023 I give parliament a glimpse of what public administration looks like on Statia.
On May 15, 2023 I write another letter about governance on the island and how it can be improved.
On May 21, 2023 I write a short note on two issues: money flows to the Caribbean and the disrespectful appointment of the deputy government commissioner of St. Eustatius.
On June 1, 2023, I write a short note on role of the legislature, the current situation in the Caribbean Netherlands and the Constitution.
On June 2, 2023, I write a letter on recent current events in St. Eustatius. On June 11, 2023 I write a letter about injustice in the Caribbean Netherlands and again a plea to see the Caribbean Dutch as full-fledged Dutch citizens.
On June 17, 2023, I write a letter about how the administration on St. Eustatius deals with its nature.
On June 22, 2023 I write a letter in which I hold up a mirror to the Kingdom Relations Committee.
On June 25, 2023 I write a letter in which I - in preparation of a debate in the Lower House next week - again emphatically point out the discriminatory way in which The Hague acts towards the Caribbean Netherlands. This time I address all members of the Lower House of the Senate.
On July 19, 2023, I will write a letter to all members of parliament that the non-existent differences between the Caribbean and the European Netherlands - this time in the social domain - are deliberately (?) maintained. Discrimination continues (but verbally "neatly" eliminated).
On August 10, I once again write a letter to all members of parliament of the Senate and the House of Representatives in which I simply expose some distressing differences between the Caribbean and European Netherlands. Surely it is inexplicable that this situation has arisen and continues to exist. A new government must do something about it!
On August 28 I write to the entire Parliament that the BES tax laws also have no constitutional basis. They must simply lapse and be replaced by the tax laws as they apply and European Netherlands.
