PHILIPSBURG - State Secretary with the responsibility for Kingdom relations, Ank Bijleveld-Schouten told representatives of the island territory of Bonaire this week, that the future status they are seeking to achieve from the Kingdom is not feasible.

The island territory is seeking for an associated state within the Kingdom of the Netherlands via a referendum to be held next year.

Will the referendum on Bonaire, if that option is selected by the population, interfere with the progress being made by the other islands in their constitutional quest?

That question was put to the Minister in charge of constitutional affairs in the Netherlands Antilles, Rolland Duncan on Thursday.

His interview which was aired on PJD2 Radio, can now be heard via PodCast.
