In the early morning hours, there was a solemn moment to commemorate the 39th anniversary of the passing of the freedom fighter Gilberto Francois “Betico” Croes. A morning in which brothers, children, family members, and acquaintances were present to remember the struggle and the work Betico carried out. Member of Parliament Evelyn Wever-Croes was present and indicated that it was a moment to sit quietly for a while and realize the freedom in which Aruba currently lives, so that we learn to preserve it for ourselves and the next generation.
