Dear Editor,
English is a very intricate language. But, the little bit of knowledge that I have, I will fuse it with my little bit of common sense, in order to convey my message. For the past two consecutive elections, there is this growing manipulation of information that has led to an ethical failure in the House of Parliament. Some MPs create their own world and live in that bubble until it explodes. Today, I will feature one of such MPs.
I’m not sure why, but MP Ludmila de Weever is one of those politicians that I like a lot. Nevertheless, her run for political office seemed so undefined. No matter how much she proclaims that her real motive is to serve the people, this declaration appears to be contradictory, because the reality in parliament is quite the opposite.
If I go back to January 11, 2024 elections, the Ministry of Finance was offered to PFP, during the initial negotiations. This confirmation came from the MP herself. However, MP Ludmila de Weever refused the offer and decided to maintain her seat in parliament, instead. As a result, the Ministry of Finance went to DP, eventually.
Then, for the August 19, 2024 elections, she was offered the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports. Yet, she rejected the offer once more. Her lame excuse is that she prefers a ministry where she can better utilize her strengths. It is important to note that the Ministry of VROMI [Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment and Infrastructure – Ed.] was the other option, but not an available choice, because Minister Patrice Gumbs decided that he will not relinquish his position.
Besides, MP Melissa Gumbs, the party leader, made it clear that she believes in continuity, so Minister Patrice Gumbs will keep his status. Rumor has it that there was this Mexican standoff. Finally, MP Melissa Gumbs decided to take up the Ministry of ECYS herself, while MP Ludmila de Weever, settled for her seat in parliament once more.
What is mind-boggling is that, in the 2020 elections MP De Weever was appointed as the TEATT [Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transport, and Telecommunication] Minister within the UP party. Halfway through, she was either forced out or quit the position voluntarily, to take up her seat in parliament. Let’s analyze this situation. In January this year, she was offered Minister of Finance and she denied the offer. In August, she was given the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports, and she refused.
So, MP Ludmila de Weever, tell us the truth once and for all. What are your strengths in running the VROMI Ministry? If your strength is in Finance, and you declined to accept the position as minister in January, but determined to go after VROMI in August, a ministry that does not complement your educational background, who are you trying to fool?
Definitely, you are not in parliament to represent the people. You are on a contract to represent a privileged group, who is dictating your decisions in parliament. Tell us the truth, MP Ludmila de Weever. How do you sleep at nights, when you tell the population one thing, but your mind wrestles with this lie? Look at your demeanor in parliament. It is plain to see that there is no interaction with you and your party leader. Why is that?
Someone who speaks the truth does not go against her party policies because a member of the elite group decides this is what he wants. Rumor has it that he pushed your party leader because she removed your single poster from a specific location during the campaign, when you all agreed as a team that all of you would be featured together. Do you remember that agreement that you signed? So, are you the real MP Ludmila de Weever, or you are an impostor?
You bragged about your 690 votes. But, are they legitimate votes? All during the election campaign, there were three names that dominated almost every conversation, with regard to vote buying. But, because the prosecutors’ office is manned with all of the rejects from Holland, this is why certain characters were allowed to be in parliament, and are still being present today. I didn’t call your name. I will let you wrestle with your conscience.
MP De Weever, sorry to say, this is your last successful run. Right now, you are considered the weak link in parliament, and if you are not careful, you will end up just like those who lived in the bubble, until it was shattered.
