Dear Editor,
It is quite an acknowledgement of the times when a figure like Theo Heyliger, the founder of his party the UP, would have to sink to the levels of actually having to put his thoughts in writing about the rumored firing of his wife as the President of Parliament.
Unless we forgot, the person they want to allegedly put back in the chair is the same con-man who has embarrassed the country multiple times, insulted Theo’s wife and has built a reputation as the king of schemers in the government of St. Maarten. That Theo would have to say what he said indirectly to someone he gave a chance to is astounding. And then Brison responds as if Theo is just a passing somebody.
It shows that Theo feels that his wife is not getting the due respect she deserves and clearly shows that he does not believe in the direction Rolando Brison has taken his party. The UP is now subservient to the National Alliance. It is incredible that Theo has let it come to this. He needs to fix it and rid his wife and his party of that no-integrity, no-shame con-man.
Because of Brison’s scheming, the Parliament of St. Maarten will have nine factions! Count ’em, NINE! He managed to convince MP Arrindell and Brownbill that they are great for the island after using them as the reasons he refused to run with the USP and eventually left the USP. “Crooks” he called them at the time. “Angels” he is calling them now.
MP Brison has completely ruined the UP from the inside and, the schoolchildren say, turned some of UP’s board members against Theo and Grisha with gifts and promises. He will do the same with the Alliance if they let him because he cares about one thing only: protecting any kind of power base for himself. He is dangerous for the country and criminally narcissistic.
But who will the UP listen to now? The man who founded the party and gave them all opportunities? Or the con-man who might as well declare himself a card-carrying member of the National Alliance?
And speaking about what will UP do, what will Cookie do? Is the Indian Community proud of Cookie’s representation? Are they proud that Brison is in his ear corrupting him? Will they be proud if he votes against the Heyligers? MP Bijlani looks to be losing more of his soul every day the longer he sits next to MP Brison. Bijlani has been exposed as a fraud in this term and I honestly believe the Indian Community needs to start looking at a different flag-bearer for representation in Parliament. This one has shown that he can be just as corruptible and he can walk all over integrity and accountability.
