After 10 months in office, the government is still structuring the ministerial portfolios. In the meantime, all ministers have been operating like a tangled ball of yarn.
Parliamentarian Dangui Oduber stated in the Parliament of Aruba that the Council of Advice gave a “thick zero” to the LIM law (Landsverordening Instelling Ministeries). This means that the course chosen by the AVP–FUTURO government for Aruba is not the right one and is not in the interest of the Aruban people.
According to Oduber, from the moment the distribution of portfolios among the different ministries began, there was significant tension between the coalition partners. The allocation of the portfolios is illogical, something the Council of Advice also pointed out in its recommendations.
Parliamentarian Dangui Oduber indicated that the Council of Advice gave the portfolio distribution a dictum 4, comparable to a “deeply insufficient” assessment. The Council advised the Government of Aruba not to proceed with the LIM law in the way the portfolios were reorganized. Nevertheless, the AVP–FUTURO government ignored this advice and continues to do as it pleases, pushing the LIM law through Parliament anyway—resulting in a governmental structure that is not good for Aruba.
