Waste & accountability in focus: MPs Endy Croes and Edgard Vrolijk used Parliament meetings to press the government on waste policy and procurement—Croes questioned a 2.1 million florin ATA contract to Ecotech over alleged conflict of interest and missing public tendering, while Vrolijk backed cleanup efforts but warned Aruba still lacks a structural waste management plan and enforcement against illegal dumping. Education reform under scrutiny: MP Eduard Pieters challenged “Phase Two” of teachers’ salary restructuring, saying the government is vague on the plan for teacher professionalization, guidance, and continuous development. Autonomy and kingdom law debate: Croes also renewed criticism of AVP/FUTURO’s handling of Rijkswet HOFA, arguing it risks moving Aruba back toward dependence and raising questions about political direction. Community campaigns with follow-through questions: National Cleanup Day drew strong participation and major tonnage figures, but reports of renewed littering after containers were removed sparked calls for daily responsibility. Animal welfare policy push: Aruba announced preparations for a new animal and community welfare policy, alongside the #NoMoreSufferingMoreResponsiblePetOwners campaign. Kingdom-level administration changes: Curaçao and Aruba could see stricter passport procedures, including separating application, decision, and issuance steps, and expanding StopID to block lost or stolen passports online. Regional cooperation: PM Mike Eman met Peruvian sustainability groups to explore collaboration on renewable energy, water, conservation, circular economy, and waste management.
