Youth in Politics and Innovation
Speaker 1What was your reaction when you saw the list number 1? What was my reaction? Excited? How did you feel when you saw Mike's copycat? Yes, you didn't see it. I saw it for myself.
Speaker 3Oh, that was shady. This is going to be fun. What's?
Speaker 1the point of having all these young people see the old generation not listening to you. You know what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2Whatever pens they sell in Africa, like I have a cross with my After the October 18th, when you gave us the list when you were on the track. It was such an emotional moment Because in this way, you were so lost and I told you it was such a moment. I think you're right.
Speaker 1In a way, it's a question, so I'm going to bring it back to you.
Speaker 3And if there's a man I'm used to it I might get a heat for this too. That's the reality. Look at who is really ready and who is under tough game. I don't know if there's a town here or not. I just have to think about it Like no, I'm just going to vote consciously. Look at who is really ready. He came to me under tough game.

Speaker 1That's it.
Speaker 3Damnito. That's it Wow.
Speaker 1Y'all don't give a shit, like Gracias though it's an urgency To make a change, not just one.
Speaker 2In politics, but a new figure, a new face, younger, to come forward In politics To make a change In politics.
Speaker 1No offense, I don't like it, but the old generation Are tired Of the old generation. Like the old generation, that's like the old generation. Like it's like I get sold the same bullshit. I don't know these fadadas. I feel like Awoki is starting to listen to us and start to involve the younger generation.
Speaker 3We have a seat at the table now.
Speaker 2It's important for us to realize that a new generation has a responsibility to assume the position of a politician in a country with a new leader in our community. I agree it's important to have an experience to combine the innovative mentality, the new generation, the new energy with experience, to have a good balance and to have a balance with our search also for the future but I think that's what I'm saying, that the young generation that comes here because if they do something, the older generation that comes here they'll be like, no, I won't do it.
Speaker 1Young generation could be a thing, because if I would be saying something, the older generation would be better at it. And what's the point of having all these young people see the older generation not listening to you? You know what the guest came in came in.
Speaker 2Yes, I think that in politics, we have to unite, to join us to have a better position with our. We have the same goal as in Europe we respect the country, we respect the European country, we want to make it a good country, we want to make it a good place to live, to have an opportunity to grow, but we also want to have dynamism in our economy with an innovative concept, in a Fintech way. But what is also important is that you have people who already govern and know it will work in politics and in governance and it will also be a useful experience for the teacher and we want to balance this with our students.
Speaker 3To some degree, though, because when you handle it it's a different mentality than when you're in a classroom, so we don't have a full experience. The teacher has a perfect balance when he's in the classroom. This is our world, and we're moving To a whole new world, so Something's gotta change.
Speaker 1You have to come on board With those things. So basically, experience. You know the content Of the world.
Speaker 3Not the world, I mean the content Of the world. Between the Like, ai and all this good stuff, we're going into A tech world.
Speaker 2Yes, I mean, how much experience do you have with, like AI and all this good stuff? We're going into a tech world that will kill us. Yes, yes, we're coming into a new digital world Full.
Speaker 3Let me tell you.
Speaker 1I've never seen anyone who's like. I've never seen anyone like that, so I've never seen anyone like that Correct? But actually I Shout out to the sponsor For Icebreaker For ProFrame Again. First one.
Speaker 2Shut up First one. When did?
Speaker 3you get married. When I got engaged to a foreign country, shut up. Oh my God.
Speaker 1My engagement was with my country. I have to point out one more thing when did you get married?
Speaker 2It's a question that I can't answer. In the same way, I got engaged to a foreign country. I'm 28 years old and it's important that I choose the right moment For all my talent, my gift, my knowledge, I offer it to my community.
Speaker 1You think you can do it?
Speaker 2There's no other way to do it All right.
Speaker 1For whom do you have a vote for? Brumé Bial?
Speaker 2For Brumé Bial. I have a vote since 2017. In 2017, I have we know what. Yes.
Speaker 3We used to do this thing for my youth brigades or some shit like that.
Speaker 1Youth brigades, brigades, I'm not going to say youth brigades.
Speaker 2I'm like, oh shit, gays. I'm like oh shit, that's going closer.
Speaker 1Who's against it?
Speaker 2Yes, my first vote in 2016 was for Mike Amon. Oh, okay, sorry.
Speaker 1I'll just keep it to myself my bad.
Speaker 2What do you have in your AVP?
Speaker 2I have a little family With a say about AVP and my great-grandfather, by right, was a member of the party a member of the potential and he was a member of the party at the time when there was no political presence. And that's what I've been doing from family to family, from generation to generation, always with a sense of esteem for the party, but also for Aruba. My mother, my father, studied law at the University of Aruba and that was a trigger and a political desire in me to work with Roby Biaha, who is a parliamentary ambassador to introduce law, change law, modify and modernize law. And now I'm studying law, but I work with Roby in the area of law, like in HACI with the HACI Award, and that triggers me to be more politically involved, to be able to think with all the knowledge I receive and to value it, to make an impact in the community, in society, and create a new community for them. And that's part of my responsibility as a person with recognition to offer back as gratitude, to improve the community and to create a decent living for Turindi. And if I continue to develop, I have a 2017 vote.
Speaker 2We were involved in the party the Youth Brigades.
Speaker 3The Youth Brigades.
Speaker 2We were involved in 2017, 2018, and it was more intense.
Speaker 3You're so welcome, thank you. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Speaker 2Stop, stop, stop. Are you going to? Win a lot of cases. Yes, I'm going to win a lot of cases. I'm going to win a lot of cases In the case of labor, if it's something like labor abuse. If you have a job, if you travel and you're working, you don't have enough protection. But you also have to defend yourself against the tax system, like you're going to get more taxes, etc.
Speaker 3If you're going to pay you're going.
Speaker 1Who said this? The mic must be the same the mic must be the same. Somebody said this recently in 2021, for the first time, I'm going to get closer to your political list.
Speaker 2And now, in the pandemic of COVID, the government is going to in the next three years, it's going to be a round of organization near Mike, near the organization, participating in different focus groups like policy, like management, like what we know how to improve communication, which I also want to say to our something that I live with. I'm not a student, so I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 1Do you ever think about leaving the AFP, like, have you ever crossed your mind?
Speaker 2No, I don't have an option. No, no.
Speaker 1You're a student, but you're more aligned. Yes, just curiosity.
Solidarity and Responsibility in Politics
Speaker 2Yes, no, I always want to have the potential of leaving the AFP. What inspires of the AVP party? Which inspires me? The AVP party in the process of thinking, in ideology. It's a beautiful ideology.
Speaker 2One is based on solidarity. Solidarity is with the policy, but to protect the most vulnerable. So if you're from the community, if you're more vulnerable, you have to protect them, so that the adult, the older, we have to protect them, so that they are not adults. They are not adults. They have to get a minimum wage, they have to have financial difficulties. To protect those who are most vulnerable in our community our nature, who don't have a voice, our animals, who don't have a voice. We have to protect them who don't have a voice. Another aspect that is important of the AFP Party the responsibility with the party. Our party has a main task to solve the problem in our country. The government has to unite the community and together we can make a big change with our investment. It's a basis for dialogue, not discussion. We have to start promoting dialogue and I think it's a big part of my focus.
Speaker 1We can agree to disagree. We have this all the time. Exactly no, but can do it. No, no, no I can do it, I can do it. Who is your favorite AVP colleague, my?
Speaker 2favorite AVP colleague. I have a question that sounds familiar. It's always old. I hear that you watch all the answers I have several At the moment, I have several, I have several at the moment. I have a good colleague, Derek Kelly, John Hart, Stephanie Sivinger. We click super good. But also with Mike Eymann, Arthur Dowers also. Uno, Uno we have we have a game we want to. We have time to play together.
Speaker 3We have four years behind the DJ band Mike.
Speaker 2Mike, Mike, Mike Mike.
Speaker 1Mike, mike, I'm going to get a new hand in comics and a surprise I'm going to get a new hand in comics and a surprise I'm going to get a new hand in comics and a surprise I'm going to get a new hand in comics.
Speaker 2and a surprise I'm going to get a new hand in comics.
Speaker 1And a surprise I'm going to get a new. I'm going to surprise them. My name is Stephanie. You're number one, don't be afraid. Okay, who else wants to? I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question.
Speaker 2I'm going to ask you a question.
Speaker 1Give me two parties that you want to have aligned with one another. For a coalition, it's important to have one hand and two parties. Give me two numbers.
Speaker 2It's an interesting question about the idea of a democracy and a community of decisions.
Speaker 1A community of decisions that directs the country.
Speaker 2But if I have to say what philosophy, what thinking is closer to, us. We want a future closer to us. We want a more close relationship. We don't want to be in the same line, but it's important to respect the community.
Speaker 2At the end of the day, the community decides what type of government it wants and, at the end of the day, the community receives the government it deserves. If you want to travel here, the European community will respond in an electoral order and will send a message to show what type of government it wants for the European country and what was your reaction?
Speaker 1I'm excited. Something important. What kind of government does this want for the country of Roma and what is your reaction when you see the number one rival?
Speaker 2What is my reaction?
Speaker 3Excited Something that is important.
Politics and Leadership Development
Speaker 1Explain this process. So you see us, as in how it happens, as in you see us, you see me, you see me, you see me, you see me. What is the process?
Speaker 2Yes, this is not only a campaign of other things. Other things, other things for good. Something. You do something. You do something good. You do something different, something fundamental. You don't know how to communicate. You do something else. You do something else. People don't get a message. People start anticipating, but they come here and say something else. At the moment here I have a government that is kind of mediocre.
Speaker 1I have something else I have a government of excellence.
Speaker 2I have a government that serves the community in its entirety.
Speaker 3Okay, okay Ah ha, that's because I don't know what she said. What the you?
Speaker 2said what you say. You say what you say, you say what you say, you say what you say you say what you say, you say what you say, you say what you say.
Speaker 3You say what you say.
Speaker 2You say what you say. You say what you say. You say what you say. You say what you say. You say what you say. You say what you say. You say what you say. You say what you this.
Speaker 3If you had the power, you make the decisions on how shit goes, seeing how short time was of a small group, but strong as AF.
Speaker 2I came from a legal world. I had knowledge of law, law, practice, policy, but I found myself an expert in medical care. I have expertise in the world of health, I am an economist, I am an expert in social issues and together I have formed a team, and I think that a team needs a strong one, a culture of expertise to represent, but not necessarily a 29-man team.
Speaker 1But you said you were going to put a cap between 5 and 6, and a maximum of 10. Keep it fair, people.
Speaker 2At the end of the day, you put a 29-man team.
Speaker 3It's not necessary. I don't think the cap is needed. If you have a good 29 people, then you should combine. Come here.
Speaker 1Okay, but now how many people do you have? No, I have 29.
Speaker 2You have 29? Oh, okay, so you have a cap cap. Yes, I mean, that's how it is If you win 50, I'll get 20,000 votes.
Speaker 3No, no, no, I don't have that much money.
Speaker 1I have a game with 40 people.
Speaker 3That's a lot. There's no way you're going to fucking win. I don't think Mr Yen is a fool it's votes.
Speaker 1That's what I feel like.
Speaker 3It's expertise that comes in place 100%. It's kind of overshadow. If you want to vote for a professional, you can't vote for a rebel. It's kind of overshadowed. If you want to vote for a professional, you can vote for a terrible person. Wow, okay, I want to vote for you, but you're terrible.
Speaker 2The climate in Aruba. The political climate is not favorable. I hope professionals. I hope people who have a certain academic education or is busy in the profession as a salesman, an entrepreneur, a person with, for example, money and wealth, or a person who is developing content, a person with creativity. He is not willing to get involved in politics.
Speaker 1If you don't have money, you don't have money to spend. You don't have money to spend. You don't have money to spend. You have to negotiate Number two once you buy the politics. Yes, Correct.
Speaker 2You're going to get blacklisted. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I agree.
Speaker 2Positive, positive.
Speaker 3Positive, Positive. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying, but I'm not saying you should study, you should study. You took the right, you approached me and you approached other people. You can't compare to the fact that you took the time.
Speaker 2Run our island.
Speaker 1There are some people on the list who won't agree with it.
Speaker 3Of course not. I don't. I know I'm not the only person in this. It's not just AVP, what Futuro? Like everybody. Why are you there. In serio, like is this necessary? You could have gone with Exactly, and that's why I feel cool With most people. If you took the time To become a professional and to actually Study and know exactly what you want In this world, then by all means Go for it. I support this shit. Nice, but I get it I get it, I get it Does.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, yes 100%.
Speaker 2Kind of 100%. Mike Demesas said this when you go to school, you have a teacher, you have a person with your own instrument and you can't compare it to the path of life. But you have valuable lessons, you have a perspective, you alert yourself to certain things and you prepare yourself to form your own identity, to form your own political character. I consider it a blessing to have Mike Eymann as a mentor for the Prime.
Speaker 2Minister of Aruba, Eight years as a member of the Parliament, eight years as a Prime Minister, eight years as a member of the Parliament a whole year of experience, a whole year of knowledge about political infamy, about how to drink and drink exactly Mike Eymann.
Speaker 2Now that I know Mike Eymann, I don't sleep. Mike E 100% and drive here and motivation here from which it passes to me and in the tour there's a mentor, a person to guide us 100% and I want to have that in my hand and in the moment, and it's also a big thing I want to have that in my hand. But there's a moment when I lose and I go and develop and I continue to struggle, to struggle politically.
Speaker 3I go and kill myself and I create.
Speaker 2I'm going to create my own identity. I want to be like Andre Sicilia. During this period, I created my own political identity. But I'm going to start. I'm going to inspire Mike Eymann and we have to have time. We have to have time to spend together. We have to have time to spend together. I'm going to work in Parliament as a legal advisor, thank you. I saw Mike Ehmann as a leader and I was very grateful for it. I saw the comments and I saw a copycat of Mike Ehmann. I wanted Mike to be a mentor, an inspiration for me, and I always wanted to be a political leader.
Speaker 3You're not laughing, are you?
Speaker 2It's an emotional process After October 18, when we were delivering the list when we were at Barre Trapi, it was an emotional process. After October 18th, when we did the list delivery when we were on the way to the therapy, it was an emotional moment Because this way, when you're lost, and you're like this is the moment.
Speaker 1This is the moment, yeah.
Speaker 2And I want you to know the message that I received. It's a mentor, it's a special song, it's a guide and this person is a hobby for me.
Speaker 3We had this conversation. Listen, there's nothing wrong with having a mentor. I mean, there's two things. We've all been through it. We all think at some point that we're adapting to it. It's more than normal. The only thing I feel like we don't get the world Don't get to see King Wendrick. That's the charming person. That's the charming person. That's the charm Mike doesn't have. Mike doesn't have that, mike doesn't have that For his hand. You're coming for A whole new generation, a different era, that man.
Speaker 3We could relate To Wendrick, the Wendrick that we know, off camera, off behind the scenes, yes, and that's supposed to Stralight everywhere else that you go. Nice, that's, I think, that camera of behind the scenes, yes, yes, satan's supposed to start everywhere else, could you go?
Speaker 1is king, queen, whatever. So, by the way, would that suck make the man's último election?
Speaker 2no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Filter no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no no, no, you're giving us a first, you're shocking us.
Speaker 1No, I'm just saying I asked him hey, magda, save the last dance. No, he said what I like it. They be on it. So then, let me ask you a question. Anyone, let's go. What's the most important thing? He's a minimum loan of barra gasto.
Speaker 2Good question. I think the government at the moment has space for low cost. You have different aspects.
Speaker 1You prioritize more money.
Aruba's Economic Partnership With Netherlands
Speaker 2Yes, I have low cost. I have a more efficient government apparatus. I cover the digitalization but also the luxury. I am a minister, I am a community servant. I don't come to live in luxury, I come to serve the community. That's why we have a car. We don't have a luxury car that we can't afford. We don't serve the community, we're just a group.
Speaker 1We can't afford a car. We don't have a car. We don't have a car.
Speaker 2We don't have a car. We don't have a car, we don't have a car.
Speaker 1We don't have a car.
Speaker 2We don't have a car, we don't have space to do the necessary contract and deals so that Mr Bai can gradually create financial space.
Speaker 1What kind of deals do you need to have with Mr Bai?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1You can speak.
Speaker 2English? No, but there are different ones. The government has created a structure to accommodate people Through foundations, through different contracts. The government is an entity that uses people to work. It's an institute that receives tax money and has to investigate how to make investments in people, in our people and in our community to raise the life experience of our people, a certain kind of work.
Speaker 1Exactly, they think knowledge Instead of hey brother. I have a contract.
Speaker 2Exactly, I want you to. At the moment you come to serve the country, you have to, you have to do An analysis Of what is necessary and what is not necessary, and I want you to. At the moment, you have to have A management of personnel, of how to acquire people In the government department, based on criteria.
Speaker 3Finally.
Speaker 2You have to prepare, you have to qualify you.
Speaker 3Finally, An account in Aruba.
Speaker 2Offshore bank account.
Speaker 3Where's the money going? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What kind of experience. How do you know me? How do you know me? What did you study?
Speaker 1100%. What's the?
Speaker 3website, again Publico Dataway.
Speaker 1If you're on the 30th, you're in the same boat. Is there something that the AFP or AFM want to say? Yes, but I think transparency is very important for the government. The.
Speaker 2Dutch government, the founding fathers of the Dutch constitution. They call it Torbeke, Because their public opinion is light 100% and their secretive openness is light 100% and this kind of secrecy is darkness. So if you don't have something, if you don't have an openness to things, then you can hide something. It creates doubts. It creates doubts, it creates a lack of confidence. It's not transparent. Do you know what?
Speaker 1the 96-11-1 year agreement is? I don't know.
Speaker 2Why do you want to say anything? Thank you. It's important for us to realize that we have to have a law that guarantees transparency as well. We have to demand certain documents from certain ministers, from governors, and if we don't comply with that in a certain way, we have to have sanctions for that as well. So if we, as parliamentarians, we have to realize that we as parliamentarians and high-ranking institutions with a democratic structure, if the parliament demands certain documents from certain governors and ministers, then they come and make a transparency and if they don't comply, it's a lack of respect for the parliament, it's a lack of respect for the community and we have to be stronger.
Speaker 2stronger to guarantee the process of taking responsibility. The minister has a responsibility in the parliament and the administration has a responsibility in the community as well.
Speaker 3Okay, so I feel that, as a people, it's been a lot. This ride has been a lot. We have absorbed a lot of information, if anything, a lot of information that in so many shows With so many people. So what I decided to do Is ask your own self and tell what the other person tells. So that's what I've been running on, so Anyways.
Speaker 3So I'm going to tell you, and I'm going to tell you that you have a plan to go to the Netherlands To renegotiate a contract To make us reinvest with the Netherlands and do all of these things. Yes, one day we were recording with Evelyn. Evelyn was thinking that what she proposed, that the Netherlands would end in the Netherlands, is not about it. Basically, I don't know yeah, I don't know what Mike is talking about. If the Netherlands is basically saying that what Mike proposes Is not going to happen, yes, what information is real? We're just getting info at some point. What is real, what is not real?
Speaker 1At this point, You're talking about the 9 million, right? The 9 million. Okay, yes.
Speaker 2This is a scene with our Dutch wife, our Dutch wife, and it's important to realize the dynamics of the relationship in the Kingdom. I mean, if you have a good relationship with the Netherlands, the Netherlands will act as a strategic partner for the Dutch Kingdom and, looking at us to collaborate with each other, to work with us on the basis of win-win, the Netherlands will also inclined, willing to collaborate and work with us. We want the WP to invert the relationship between the Dutch and the Dutch. We have come up with the concept of Europe meets America. We have come up with the concept of three Dutch institutes TNO, pinaruba, establecena, mesquinang to help us with the vision of renewable energy, green energy, to transform and initiate the process of energy transition. We also inverted the WENWEN aspect, where Aruba works as a hub for Dutch companies to rent the market of the Latin American continent, latin American market. We have charisma, we have the ability and knowledge to enter the market of the continent of Latin America. The Netherlands, through Hop, connects Europe with America. This is a great test for the Netherlands because we as a country have a value in the Dutch kingdom. I want to say this and I like to say that I have a record. I also know the Netherlands. I know the city where we live. I know the second chamber. I know the Alger van Dijk, the NRC, who is part of the Dingo Bjerne, who is part of Pieter Amzicht. I know Rob Jetten, who is part of D66. I know the Christian Union. We also have the President, caroline van der Plast from BBB. We also have the Dingo Bjernevoort. We also have different members of the Second Chamber. We also have Pieter Hein Donner, jan-peter Balkenende, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, cda. We also have other people.
Speaker 2We have to make sure that our position is the same as the one in Aruba. Would have to make a proposal that we felt was necessary for Aruba. We thought we would invert Aruba. We wanted to do it in a creative and innovative way. Now we don't have anything that doesn't have a backing from an investigation In Europe.
Speaker 2Portugal and Cape Verde use the same system, the same structure. I can bring this up Portugal has a Cape Verde a sum of plates to pass the pandemic. So Portugal says, ok, the sum. Here we also create a budgetary discipline to go back. But we also have a fund of investment to invest back in a stronger and more resilient country to overcome the problems we face at the moment. When things are difficult, we have to communicate with each other to make things better, and I want to say that the European model here is used to substantiate our proposition.
Speaker 2And we are working with Mark Rutte, with the Chamber of Commerce, and we are working with the Chamber of Commerce and the people who are in charge of us. We feel that they are the BZK, the people who are in charge of things. We have a minister here called Sabou who is in charge, but we also have the Department of Foreign Affairs who is in charge of certain aspects of the Dutch Kingdom. We feel that and we feel that that this is something positive for us. It's over. We did it last year. First, it's an impressive development because we know the infrastructure, the renovation of the neighborhood, the energy transition in the park, the mill, the solar panel. But we also have to improve the quality of life of the people by introducing aspects of social reform in the way of sports, where we can invert the sport into sports, but to create a different development for the country.
Speaker 2And what we hear is the proposal of the European Government and Prime Minister Iver Kroos. It's a quite healthy. In the Netherlands, it doesn't have a political space. It doesn't have a political space. It doesn't have a quite healthy which, if it opens to deliberate. It's a transformation of the 9.5 million of a fund of investment and we need to. Okay, if you have doubts about 900 million here. We still don't know if it will be used efficiently, if it arrives where it should arrive. But we know ABU also has representatives of supervision of how we will invest 900 million here Netherlands, aruba. I also involved a local institution, aruba Investment Bank, to supervise the process here and we I also saw a local institution Aruba Investment Bank to supervise the process.
Speaker 2Here. It's a board. It's a board that supervises where we invest. Here we are going to invest in high priority costs for Aruba.
Speaker 1Is that what you are going to publicly publish as in by the back of the party? Transparency, yes, yes, you are going to put it okay Aruba, who?
Speaker 2is going to be on board. No, no, no. Who is?
Speaker 1going. Who's on board? No, no, no, who's on board? Because we have 9.5 million. Okay, I will. If you can't put 50 million, then we're going to allocate everything. Yes, of course, I'm going to show you.
Speaker 2Yes, fernando, the structure is also done in a transparent way, one you can invert the funds here, in which project in and, most importantly, how we benefit the rest of the country. And what we are doing is planting seeds in the Netherlands, and it's a very fertile land for us to go back to the Netherlands and concretize it here. So we are very interested in creating investment funds here. We realized that the Netherlands has a big budget but it doesn't have enough investment here Because of the lack of trust in the current government is asking us not to pay back.
Speaker 2Now I'm coming to the Netherlands with a proposal. I want to extort money from here, but I don't know where. I want to transform this into a investment fund to invest back in my country, in my people, to make me stronger Tomorrow. I don't need a battery to carry back to help. Then you can say that it's a creative, innovative, interesting idea and it's going to be a great success. And that's what we're going to receive in the Netherlands Not only people who don't know how to drink coffee, but people of high caliber in the Netherlands, from the former minister from the Dutch Institute Institute, the Chamberlain, who is now the minister. I want to make a connection, an entrance to the Netherlands, to give us space to go to the Netherlands and concretize things here.
Speaker 3What happens in the Netherlands? Is that, okay, we don't like to talk like that, but we don't like to talk like like that.
Speaker 2Anyways, we are saying figure it out, we will back you up if that does not work out create not only better relations with the Dutch Kingdom but also invest back in the connection with the Dutch Kingdom. I want us as an AVP party to have a better culture. The other has a connection here. We know that Mike Eymann in the Netherlands brought the second chamber to Haber, brought Benno Hof, the center of government of the Netherlands, to Haber for 30 years. I don't know how many members of parliament can get to the port of Tuidekamper Most of them don't have the connection and the trust to get there. But I want to make sure that we have a key connection with the Dutch so that we can make it happen. But we also want a better relationship with the European Union and the European Union also has funds available.
Speaker 2The way we see it in the Netherlands, there are different funds available for Aruba, national Growth Funds. We have SDA funds for energy transition, but National Growth Funds the funds in the Netherlands are available for us to deliver a petition to the Netherlands to receive funds from the Netherlands so that we can invest in a project in China. So we have to invest in our capacity to present a petition and a project in the Netherlands, but also in the European Union. We have to invest back in our relationship with the European Union, perhaps also to evaluate the status of the NGO, the EPG European Union. Maybe also evaluate the status of the LGO and PGI, which give us more benefits and access to more borders in a way that is not so easy. I want you to have full confidence that we will be able to achieve a vision of creating a financial space of a million for us to invest in our country, but also simultaneously, we will continue to capitalize on the relationship of the Dutch Kingdom, but also the relationship with the European Union.
Speaker 2That's good to know.
Speaker 1Can you suggest something. It's an invitation from Biá. If you manage to do this, you'll go back to the Netherlands. You'll be back. Are you willing to be back without a filter, without paper, and break down what's going on in the Netherlands? We're making a commitment, okay, good, we're not coming back. We're not coming back. A commitment In details no, no filter and break down what happens in the Netherlands. We make a commitment, okay.
Speaker 2We make a commitment In details, no. But Again it goes back To transparency. Like, okay, what are you going to do? What are you going to do.
Speaker 1What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Accept it, but we have to change it, we. I want to jump into the AHATA segment. This is how you know the conversation is good.
Speaker 3AHATA, send me a question Two questions.
Speaker 1Yes, what is your vision for the future of Aruba's economic pillar, tourism, considering the need to avoid overtourism?
Economic Growth and Mental Health Support
Speaker 2It's important that tourism is realized as our economic pillar. 87% of our GDP at the moment depends on tourism. It will replace us, we will fortify and we are going to keep it inverted, which is a reality. I want to give credit to our professionals who are managing tourism in Aruba. They are managing it in a professional way and we have a next government that will continue to support and support professionals in tourism, which I think will focus on the management of high value, low impact, and I want to do the same here at the moment and make an effort to attract tourism that comes with higher performance, more capacity to invest, but less to focused on putting pressure on the infrastructure, on the environment and nature.
Speaker 1I want to say something, yes, yes.
Speaker 2I want to say that at the moment here there is an important market that we need to explore, for example, brazil, argentina, chile. We need to increase the airlift destination here to guarantee that we attract quality tourism here with higher performance when it comes to clothes, to shop, to buy, to invest, to enjoy our culture, our heritage, our gastronomy, and not necessarily to put pressure on the environment, on nature. We want to keep focused on mass tourism, on quality tourism, and we want to focus on mass tourism and quality tourism. We want to increase the airlift of strategic destinations in Brazil, argentina, chile, where there are tourists who come to buy their food, to eat, to experience cultural experiences, but also to see the creativity of our people, to invert in the place where the creative product is.
Speaker 2And experience Aruba as a cultural destination, because Aruba has a culture that is alive, that is rich, that is offering Saki to the world as a tourist attraction.
Speaker 1I'm going to give you a control, saki. I don't know who will answer, but I'm going to ask the same question. But I'm going to ask you something. I don't know who's going to bring it, but I'm going to ask you this question. You said you have a high-value tourism. I have a commercial in the visa. Oh shit, there are people who live in Aruba. They go to this place not to afford it, but a local doesn't afford it, like in a restaurant in Palm Beach, for example. So let me say this so I agree with that. It was a high value, low impact. I agree with that. But there's also a department that controls to understand that there are people with a job without a job, but it's not like they can raise the price with 25, 30%. No, no, no, but he's a profit margin. So it's the only situation where the trade union has to take advantage of that and the local people don't go to a restaurant in Palm Beach anymore.
Speaker 2And I think that tourism has a guarantee that it attracts a lot of prosperity. It's an economic pillar that generates a lot of money for Aruba and I think that we have to look at it to trickle down and get to the employees, because we work in the hotel sector. I'm going to do tourism, I'm going to do service, I'm going to do service.
Speaker 1I'm going to do value in tourism.
Speaker 2I'm going to do value in tourism.
Speaker 1I'm going to do value in tourism.
Speaker 2I'm going to do value in tourism. I'm going to do value in tourism. I'm going to do value in tourism. I'm going to do value in tourism. I'm going to more use of tourism and the merchants around us, young entrepreneurs, independent businesses who offer services to tourism, who sell products. We want to benefit more. We want to have a dialogue with the hotel sector to find prosperity for tourism in the country, to translate it into better working conditions, better life experiences. A better life experience because they are working but also stealing in their entirety.
Speaker 1Second question I don't have it All right. So how would your government help solve the labor shortage that exists in all economic centers?
Speaker 2In the moment in the tourism sector. Let me know tourism, but we don't have a document in the order. We don't contribute to the social fund, we don't contribute to the asset fee fund. We don't contribute to the government fund either.
Speaker 2We are completely off the record black and the country doesn't receive the benefits of the SACI. We want to have a responsible integration process where we don't have a criminal antecedent or no antecedent of involvement with justice, with the to help capitalise on the part of scarcity in the moment. But also I think we should look at, for example, trainees. I think we should stimulate because we help, perhaps temporarily to alleviate scarcity. I think, for example, also experts, professionals, I think I hope they don't come with a partner but a partner doesn't receive a job. Perhaps we should modify to look for experts who come with a partner.
Speaker 1They don't come back.
Speaker 2Correct If a person doesn't come back, if they don't have a permission to come back at the moment, they don't give the permission to come back.
Speaker 1That's good. You have something and you have a speciality.
Speaker 2Yes, yes, I mean combining with the responsible integration process, but I also mean that I will promote it too. It's not that at the moment I'm here for a job, that I'm at home with another job, with another opportunity, because I also listen to the young people who say that I'm going to apply but I'm not going to be good. Maybe my record is not the most beautiful. I think I will start to have an opportunity, second chances in our community, a hobby that maybe doesn't have a beautiful past, but I do want a brighter future.
Speaker 2I want to surpass the month. I want to achieve something big for the month. What are you planning for now? I know that I will achieve it as a government, with a guarantee of something big for a month. And how will you implement it? I think we will achieve it as a government, as a facilitator. The government will have a dialogue with us, offer us help, subsidize the process of formation when we form a young person and guarantee that they have knowledge through fortifying employment, making it more accessible, spending more on employment education but equipping with more skills to start developing skills to function, for example, in the hotel sector.
Speaker 3And we have a percentage of people that we know in this category here, right, we know, okay, this is like 60% of our population or just 3% of our population, these people.
Speaker 2So let's work towards this. If you don't want to be neglected or excluded or discriminated for the reason that you don't have opportunities, I want to have a dialogue with the commercial sector so that we can have a path of formation, so that we can have opportunities to participate in the labor world but what is the standard?
Speaker 3I suppose if you hire based off of whatever standard you have in the company, Correct. If you meet the standards or qualities of the company who will hire you.
Speaker 2No, of course it's just that.
Speaker 3But what kind of programming do you have for the company? Because I know maybe it's not your reason to hire me. Do you have a program for the company?
Speaker 2Yes, yes, when you adopt a person who may not meet the criteria, but you invest in that person to make him or her work in the company, and I want you to first give the company tax benefits and, second, to guarantee that a person has an opportunity to work and develop his or her business and do something for his or her business as well. And I want you to think about fiscal incentives to combine with the path of formation of capacity building. All right, sam.
Speaker 1All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
Speaker 2There are a few professionals to help with this, but we need to fund the management of mental health. To expand on this topic, I would like to focus on intervention. When there is a person who is motivated to overcome a challenge, we exclude ourselves. We have to go home or go to work, or we can also have a hobby in school. The problem is that we cannot identify the symptoms, and what I want is that we can put the full management. How we approach how we approach the problem here.
Speaker 2You have to focus on identifying in the initial phase, who or which person has a challenge with their mental health. If you want to do this in school through having more social work to attend to the needs of many people. But also you have to look for a worker, a person who works, who works hard and who works hard at work. For example, I have a teacher who tells me that I have to attend to her every day, every 7, every 1, every 5 days of the week, and the situation that I find in class how I don't eat, how I abuse, how I mistreat, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah. So let me ask you this, Erick what is your long-term and short-term goal for Kuesaki? We're getting a rate of suicides that is not normal. It's crazy how Isla Sino Chiquito has this amount of suicides and attempted suicides in Aruba.
Economic Inequality and Social Welfare
Speaker 2It's a lack of identifying ISAQI, we have to look for one. We have a social school, a psychologist to help with the needs of many people, but also in our neighborhoods, in the areas near, near our houses, near our houses, we have a space, a center where we can arrive, where we feel safe, where we can have a person to talk to. We don't have to go through a formal consultation where we have to pay, but we have to go through the government, through the investment fund that we created, where we can invest in a management that will be more close to you, to have a person or a professional to get closer to you. I want you to focus on the school, to take care of our mental health, to be happy to identify something that you don't have, but also to have a dialogue with the donor of the troupe.
Speaker 3So I feel like everybody is preparing to fund these funds, but they don't have enough. So anybody has a breakdown of okay, we have to fund this amount, we have to calculate, to allocate for this project and the project here will cost us so, so, so, so much. Do you have that, or is there something that still lacks in HACI and set as a priority a?
Speaker 2certain topic and put funds available for this. I would like to say that we have to pursue to have enough accessible funds, not only for the professional team, but also to guarantee accessibility. We have facilities in the neighborhood, we have facilities in the work place, we have facilities in the school so we can intervene and we have the facilities of the school to intervene to make sure that afterwards we can achieve the consequences of not having a path to get there, to get out of it. And I want to share with you the responsibility of being part of the mental health that we as a community become more individualistic. I want to focus on what I do, what I want. I agree, you have a sense the community, how to take care of my neighbor, how to take care of my family, how to worry about the other family.
Speaker 2But I've been worried about my family for a month and I really want to know how to strengthen the sense of community, to take care of others, to take care of the neighbor.
Speaker 3If you notice something, wrong, something wrong a colleague, a friend.
Speaker 2I agree with that.
Speaker 3I feel like Hopi or majority politicians make for really great people Like you have a good intention. Y'all really come through. Y'all can talk your asses off.
Speaker 3I don't know what to say, but what I'm saying is that your Hopi or majority y'all can talk your asses off me. Do una voz de seis, pero lo que me cita de paraco, hope de bozo or majority de bozo, not a really great business people. Bozo, not a plania a nos como entrepreneurs, but a senior funding for whatever you have to make. A business plan, detailed af business plan de of this is what you have to do. Then you get on hoping politicians that just being in a perfect world. But we also need guarantee the. How much of your homework did y'all really do? Again, after 16 17, I don't have a lot of money. I don't have money for whatever Whoever's in there. I don't have money for that. That's our reality. I don't have money for that. I don't have money for that. I don't have money for that. That's our reality. And look at who is really ready and who is on their tough game. This is some big shit. Exactly this is some big shit.
Speaker 1I don't know if that was a question or a statement. You know, it was kind of both. Is there a question coming? I'm sorry.
Speaker 3I feel like we need solid plans.
Speaker 1I'm not sure if this question might be the same, but it's also about Sorry.
Speaker 3I'm sorry.
Speaker 1Switch it up. Why did I fuck off? He's like ugh. No, I gotta ask this question. So this is my hypothesis.
Speaker 2He brings his biggest words.
Speaker 1Gaio, the service of the port and the service of the container. What concrete actions do you think you need to take to achieve a reduction in the supply of food, food, all that stuff.
Speaker 2This is also a question that we have in the debate in the national debate.
Speaker 3It's the reference. It's the last question Now debate and the question is now.
Speaker 1send me to you, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2And I will answer from a different angle. There is a price of the product that rises. This has to do with various factors. It has to do with taxes, it has to do with transportation costs. It also has to do with the aspect of competence. In the same report you also see that 50% of households are not able to enter the report. Hey Ha, you were a flat-out team, but we're not. In the same report you can see that more than 50% of households don't have enough income to cover the basic expenses. Cbs indicates that a person needs a salary of around 2,700-2,800 florins per month to cover the basic expenses. A family of a mother, a father, two children, around almost 6,000 fluorine to cover the gas in the basic. And I want to say that there are different aspects to what we do. One we have to increase the basic. We don't want to put a price limit on certain products. We have to increase the basic. We have to lower the inflation.
Speaker 3Who has the inflation?
Speaker 2I will reduce the amount of fuel for certain fuel, but what I have done is to accompany with a management of relief. That can be done to generate more input in the bag and it is quite effective. And that's what we want to see, because it is clear that we have to look for people who have more space in their pockets, for example, who have more space in their pockets, who have more freedom of finance, more economic freedom. Naturally, we have to invest more in order to buy products, what we have to that our focus. Apart from the fact that we will invest in certain products that the community will consume, we will also look for a wide basic basket. But we will also look to generate more income.
Speaker 2I think it is not proposed that pensioners receive an increase in their pension, but it also does not say that through the law of reparation of all, reparation of all they have to have a payslip. If they have a minimum wage of 2,500, as I said, it will increase by 2,800 to get a basic income to reach the salary. What is the purpose of this? This is to mitigate the effect of inflation. We will make a basic repayment of the salary here, so we will look for an entry between 1,800 and 3,000 euros and we will receive a repayment of the salary. But we will increase it.
Speaker 2Now you have 125. You want to increase it? You have 400, 500 florins, but the person doesn't have more economic freedom because if you live with financial depression, you don't live a life of tranquility. I think that no one in Aruba has put his head in the kitchen at night and worried about where they are going to eat tomorrow. No young person has put their head in the kitchen at night and worried about what they are going to eat at school tomorrow. No big, no adult, no major who works in the country of Aruba, who contributes to the foundation of what we have, what we have the opportunity to do. That is what we are going to do to search for and create something that we have the opportunity to. Thank you, if you have space in your budget to have a surplus of 500 million, you can invest in pursuing a better quality of life.
Speaker 1I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3I think what Mr Wardo also promoted and I know a lot of people will hate me because it's okay, man, I'm used to it, but I feel like we have to kind of not promote so much. Okay, if we're going to be all the way realistic, if we zoom all the way realistic, zoom all the way out, we already know the type of people that are suffering more.
Speaker 3We already know we already know More or less the type of neighborhood when people live. We also know this. Why are we not implementing For people here A way better life? We also know this. Why are we not implementing To make here A way better life and not a cap that you can get and a higher understand Versus You're going to get a job and you're going to pay way more Like why do you even depend On an understand To begin with and they Passed to depend On just the same? Yes, they all cheat the system and they work and they collect it. Understand, yeah, to begin with.
Speaker 1If you're a barter, you can't have a minimum loan range, but if you have tips, you can have four days of salary. So like, oh, that's an extra fee, you can't have extra money. You know what I mean? It's like I'm going to stay right here, I can have another extra fee, but I'm going to have to pay another. That's different. That's different, that's different.
Speaker 3Because you're also working In the tip industry, but there's also people that don't work.
Speaker 1At all. That's what I mean. That's where the focus should be People that don't have that tip income.
Speaker 3They're working on the black market. They're working on the black market, but they're not working Because they have a lot of pressure. I feel like it's unpopular.
Speaker 2But I target the group Of the most vulnerable.
Speaker 3That's like A tone of control.
Speaker 2For example, I have a mental or physical disability of six years or less, does not have a handicap to educate, he has a job in a bar in the neighborhood. He does not have financial support from the government the fuck, yes, and he has a mother with a house and who has a disability a physical disability and no one else takes care of you If she deserves it yes. Control yes. Supervision we need control. Control yes supervision.
Speaker 3We need control yes, yes what the fuck is wrong with this island.
Speaker 1Let's go anyways um, key key plan was not any palaga studio study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study study. Again, you have a problem with the Netherlands, but now the fact that I'm back, I'm going to continue. What incentives do you have to motivate students to come back?
Speaker 2Yes, I think that one of the things that we do when we travel to the Netherlands. We meet with professionals in the Netherlands who are coming to the Netherlands as students. We see that there are different factors that prevent us from coming back. One of them is part of the study learning. We have different experiences. We have changes in our tax line because the interest to pay our student loan is subtracted from the balance. Then we have to fully assume the student loan subtracted from the balance. This is the result that we want Now if we give an alcohol to Quaid's Helding a group, not a large group, and not a large pressure, of course, to give some money to the group, but you have to bring some incentive.
Promoting Sustainable Economic Growth in Aruba
Speaker 2But also, I have to realize that living in the Netherlands is a different environment. You have to travel and experience. Life in the Netherlands is different from the group. I don't know what factor is. Here In the Netherlands you have a better salary, you have a better opportunity. That's convenient to come back If we have a vision that we want to implement. For example, we have a hobby in the world of engineering, technology, sustainable development, renewable energy, or we have a job that is implementing a vision of green energy, alternative energy, a mill park, a solar panel park, a smart community. We get excited for what's happening here and we have a new institute that does research as well, and we create opportunities for professionals in the world to come back to Aruba, because in Atahuaco there is something new happening in Aruba, there is a positive development in Aruba and I want you to that. I have a priority if I really want to be a professional student in Aruba, I have to make an effort to go to the Netherlands One. I have to offer a certain benefit to BIMBAC because it's good, it's a hobby for the family, it's a good place to live, it's a good place to work.
Speaker 2In Korea there is an economy that is diversified enough that offers a good amount of work, a good income with the possibility of growth. This is also something that we are focusing on in terms of economic diversification an economy that we know how to stimulate the vision of alternative energy, but also of technology and innovation, but also, for example, to stimulate part of the logistics, the boat. We have a lot of land but full of land, and we have to design for the clean industry where we can attract tech companies to establish a machine. We can also promote hobbies, like in the Netherlands. We study agriculture and different methods of agriculture. We give them space to practice here. It is a creative industry, so we have an incentive. We want economic diversification. We come with a vision that excites us to come here. We also look for certain benefits because we don't come here because we don't have access to housing, but also because we don't have access to another opportunity. I agree, we have a cap to invest in.
Speaker 3We love tourism, we want to realize that a lot of things go crazy, like tourism, is a good thing to invest in. We want to go all in and we have a cap to invest in. We want tourism to go crazy and then we'll be limited.
Speaker 3We'll come back to it and then we started preparing For all of these different industries. We started preparing a cap so that we can have so many students With that kind of intention To bring back to work, and then it's now oversaturated. Now we have too many of it. These other economic pillars receive sufficient information to make them responsible for their choices.
Speaker 2They can identify the people with a lack of knowledge. They have a lack of knowledge in the medical field, in the legal field, as we have a fiscalist, but also in the field of the infirmary, where we have the caretakers, the health care, and they can stimulate them with the teaching, training and if you want to stimulate the learning, but you have to do something that is interesting in the system of MAVO. The system of MAVO is the same as the system of Antiqua, but you have to do it in VMBO to show a new skill. I know that some professionals in the Netherlands, but here in the Netherlands they don't motivate you to learn a new curriculum, but they motivate you to combine practice with theory.
Speaker 2Basically with the APB, yes, but in the Netherlandsire and in the Netherlands you have the VMBO, where you have to raise the level. Of course you have to. It's important to have a focus on the economic situation. We have to, we have to focus on that and that's also a priority. We have to identify four sectors that are important.
Speaker 2One is the knowledge economy. We want to know four languages, we want to know more about knowledge. We want to an independent business. So if professionals like you come to Aruba, you can give them space to be an independent business, to give them a service, to sell a product. For example, if you have people with a consultancy ability, and not only in Aruba, but in the Caribbean, in the region, in Latin America and we have created a space here too, where we can give some years, where we can work less strictly fiscally with them so that they can start to develop themselves in the area of consultancy. For example, we have young people who have a consultancy in sustainability, a consultancy in the legal area, a consultancy in the technical area. I agree, I agree.
Speaker 1I'm going to jump into the second and then we're going to wrap this up Exactly.
Speaker 3Chris XFM team sorry, it's my fault. I think I'm blamed. I'm on the way, guys.
Speaker 1When I get a warning, I'll come to you. No, no.
Speaker 1I'm going to be here for a maximum of one hour, I'm going to die. Anyways, we have three questions. Multiple choice A, b, c or D.
