I’m going to say what’s on my mind, and people won’t like it, but when Grisha Marten married Theo Heyliger everybody called her a ‘Gold Digger’, nobody is cool with that. Then she ran her mouth, TWO DAYS later Holland is dropping an additional 15.2 Million Euros.
At the suggestion of State Secretary Knops of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Dutch cabinet is allocating an additional 15.2 million euros for the food aid program in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The inhabitants of the three islands have faced major challenges since the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent loss of tourism. The poverty problem on the islands has increased sharply. State Secretary Knops: “The government’s starting point has always been that the Netherlands should not leave the most vulnerable people in the cold. During my last working visit I experienced how dire the situation is in some places within our Kingdom. It is very important that the food aid program is continued in the coming period. Since May 2020, the Dutch cabinet has made money available for food aid in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. At the moment, a total of about 80,000 people are helped with food aid made possible by the Netherlands.
