AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoKingdom politics heats up: Dutch PM Rob Jetten says Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten will meet The Hague in an annual “kingdom conference” with concrete agendas—while Dutch MPs are now asking whether the islands were properly consulted on a Kingdom law proposal. Local accountability pressure: In Aruba, opposition MPs keep spotlighting the DOW budget and the private-jet controversy—demanding receipts, answers, and real road plans instead of promises. Economy & infrastructure moves: Aruba Airport signed a strategic MOU with Schiphol and KLM to explore digital border facilitation and future pre-clearance options, and A.T.A. and FTA sealed a new 2026–2028 collective labor agreement. Regional context: Jetten’s Caribbean tour also drew criticism from former minister Ronald Plasterk, and the Kingdom’s UN slavery vote backlash continues to echo across the islands. Quick hit: Aruba is also being marketed as the Caribbean’s safest destination for 2026.
