Oduber still met with Nicolai: To be a Fly on the Wall in that Meeting between Aruba & The Netherlands

 

As reported yesterday, All is not well in paradise between Aruba and the Netherlands, FLY_ON_THE_WALLhowever, Aruban Prime Minister Nelson Oduber and Dutch minister of Kingdom Relations Atzo Nicolaà ¯ will meet after all.

The Dutch minister of Kingdom Relations Atzo Nicolaà ¯ (VVD) visits Aruba today.  Despite all the tension between the Netherlands and Aruba, a meeting with amongst others premier Nelson Oduber (MEP) was on the agenda.  “It took a lot of effort, but I am pleased that the two are talking again:, said Rens Knecht, Representative of the Netherlands in Aruba.

 

The tension stems from the fact that The Netherlands has asked that an Aruban loan for 50 million dollars from the Deutsche Bank be conditional. With the state of the Aruban tourism and their economy, who wouldn’t ask for conditions.

However, the bank has refused to give the loan after the Netherlands had lodged an objection.  The Netherlands wants the conditions in article 29 of the Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply for all loans that Aruba takes.  At this moment, those conditions only apply to loans taken outside the Kingdom.

Full story from Amigoe, October 24, 2006: Oduber still met with Nicolai 

ARUBA – The Dutch minister of Kingdom Relations Atzo Nicolaà ¯ (VVD) visits Aruba today.  Despite all the tension between the Netherlands and Aruba, a meeting with amongst others premier Nelson Oduber (MEP) was on the agenda.  “It took a lot of effort, but I am pleased that the two are talking again:, said Rens Knecht, Representative of the Netherlands in Aruba.   

Oduber indicated last week that if the Netherlands does not change her position regarding the financial borrowing of Aruba, there is no need for Nicolai to come again to Aruba.  However, the two met and talked this afternoon. Also minister Nilo Swaen (MEP) of Finance and Economic Affairs took part in the conversations.

Nicolaà ¯ met with Governor Fredis Refunjol before he met with Oduber.  Depending on the results of the conversation with premier Oduber, Nicolai will go back to Curacao this evening.  The relation between the Netherlands and Aruba is on edge, since Aruba wanted to borrow 50 million dollars from the Deutsche Bank.  However, the bank has refused to give the loan after the Netherlands had lodged an objection.  The Netherlands wants the conditions in article 29 of the Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply for all loans that Aruba takes.  At this moment, those conditions only apply to loans taken outside the Kingdom.  Oduber stopped all negotiations due to the Netherlands’s position; also the negotiations about more collaboration between the kingdom islands after the Neth.Antilles disintegrate.

      Does anyone know what this Article 29 of the charter says? Maybe Oduber will threaten The Netherlands with his good friend Chavez again if they don’t give him money. Is it just me or do officials in Aruba seem to pout like little children all the time instead of grown men? Not just Oduber but Dompig as well and especially?

      Face the facts Lieruba, you are slowly sinking into the ground. Your own backup[netherlands] doesnt want any part of you.

      Could it be that Aruba is BANKRUPT or on the verge of it ?
      When your revenues are and have been going down and your expenses are fixed and you cannot meet your current obligations and you have no plan on how to increase revenues and can only cut the fixed expenses a bit, does the mathematics look like this ?

      Why did SATISH ask DEEPAK if JORAN mentioned “how the girl is.”

      Mortella, we could ask the judge in training Paulus what article 29 is but my guess is he wouldn’t remember.

    7. Richard on October 24th, 2006 1:18 pm

      Miss-U, he probably wouldn’t even remember where Holland is.

      Anyone think that Oduber’s behavior is evocative of that of North Korea … the smaller the corner into which you are backed, the more you bluster, scream and shout?

      Let’s hope that, as perhaps we are starting to do with North Korea, Aruba’s blustering and jejune antics will be recognized for what they are … and that the scumbags who run Aruba’s government and law enforcement agencies will be recognized for what THEY are, and treated accordingly.

      One wonders whether the Dutch might be telling Oduber what they are going to do in Natalee’s case … and telling him not to try any tricks. Hope so, but it’s a long shot.

      YES KAT_GRAM!!! Aruba is BANKRUPT or on the verge of it. Sad but true :(
      And the relationship between Holland and Aruba has always been like this. Especially with MEP. Holland LOVES the AVP party.
      Aruba HATES the AVP party…well, the mayority of the arubans hate the AVP.
      The reason why arubans like MEP is because MEP doesn’t take any crap coming from Holland.
      I don’t like MEP nor AVP. But I have to admit that AVP was the worst. I think Holland wants to work with the leader of MPA, Monica Arends, in the future. I have faith in her too, not because she’s a woman but she really wants the best for Aruba and she is very intelligent. I hope she wins the next time.

      Hey arubaanse…Comment ca va ?
      Sound like alot of political gesturing from the ” liitle man” you have in charge there. Naploean had the same problems.
      I read a document, you would konw this, there is an agreement between Holland and Arubas re : Independence. And each was to put x number of dollars into a special fund, Holland on a declining amount basis and this was going to go to infrastructure support, health care, education.
      At some point, all financial support from Holland would cease. When was Aruba to achieve this total independence ?
      Do you think it will happen ?

    14. Kat_Gram on October 24th, 2006 2:29 pm

      Arubaanse, do you hear / know anything about Peter DeVries ? He is doing a progam / investigation into the Holloway case. If you hear anything over there, let us know. Do good in school there girl ! Go back and smarten that place up ! !

    15. Frank on October 24th, 2006 2:44 pm

      Who wouldn’t love the MEP party, they have bloated the payrolls with nanny state beggars, playing to a slovenly and uneducated audience. “the poor and innocent” are still poor and innocent?

      Oduber’s stance is all for show, he knows the inevitable but wants an out when economics 101 finally comes home.

      He knows the basic condition of a loan is that you can pay it back and Oduber can’t produce a new revised budget that proves it.

      He threatened to retire early on and no doubt will slide away just before his complicitness is revealed.

      Bon Kat_gram :) and you?

      The total independence is set for 2009. But I don’t think it’s going to happen. I am afraid that Aruba is going to lose his autonomous status very soon.

      And about Peter de Vries…I received an email from someone named Kees van der Spek and he told me that they are still investigating this case. He also asked me if I was in Aruba at the time Natalee disappeared and if I knew any of the suspects or their friends from CnC’s.

      in school. So now he finally gets to a position
      with some power, he wants to enact his revenge on
      ANY AND ALL he can find.

      Just received November issue of Conde Nast Traveler.
      (tagline: Truth in Travel)

      Four-page spread on Aruba in the special advertising section.

      Our “favorite” drug-infested island still promoting itself as the place to play.

      Let’s challenge Conde Nast on its tagline and tell editors the truth about Aruba–the open selling of drugs, the lack of a competent investigation in the Natalee Holloway case, the dangers of the island, the drugging of drinks while police look the other way, the corruption.

      As for Aruba being a “playground”, we need to remind the editors just who is “playing.”

      Tourist women are not safe on Aruba, and Conde Nast is compromising its integrity by promoting Aruba.

      …but THIS ONE MORE THAN others,
      I so believe that
      it is our NATALEE.

      There are other parts of females in the basin bag also…
      to try and throw forensics off the track.

      Either 3 other females were killed with her
      wherever J2K took her,
      or they used hospital
      cadavers.

      These other girls were young like Nat… most likely
      they were executed at the same time and place as she
      was.

      If it is Nat, like I so believe it to be…

      She died from a small pistol shot to the forehead,
      up above her right eye – slighly towards the
      bridge of her nose.

      Hey Carpe!

      I see the eyes……check your mail & tell me if that still is a darker version of the one in post#63. In the pic i just sent you i see three faces/heads. This pic is so haunting, please post it here.

      To the punks that did this to Natalee & who knows how many others i hope you see these faces in your dreams Satish, Deepak & Joran & company. Watch your back for when you least expect it paybacks gonna be a bitch.
