KRALENDIJK,BONAIRE - The Island Council of Bonaire passed a motion stating that a new referendum on the process of constitutional change will be held within four months; in any case before the Antillean Parliament elections of January 22, 2010.
The motion was presented by the ADB faction led by Jopie Abraham and supported by its coalition partner, independent (former UPB) councilman Anthony Nicolaas.
A referendum committee will now be installed that has to report by the end of month to the Executive Council on the question content and an exact date. It must also prepare an execution plan for an information campaign and see to it that the referendum meets requirements of the United Nations.
The committee will have Lt. Governor Glenn Thode as chairman and include a faction member of ADB, one of opposition party UPB and one of the “Awor t’e Ora” (Now is the Time) movement that has been calling for a referendum for some time.
A new chairman of the Central Committee was also chosen in ADB faction member Robbie Beukenboom, while UPB leader Ramonsito Booi became vice-chairman.
