Eight Curaçao MPs Traveling This Week for Parlatino Meetings

Eight members of Curaçao's Parliament are traveling this week to attend meetings of Parlatino, the Latin American Parliament. From the ruling MFK party, the traveling MPs are Frenciss 'Renny' Lourens, Ishahier Monte, Rigoletto 'Rigo' Thodé, Sandy Losiabaar, and Benito Desroches. Suzy Camelia-Römer of MAN-PIN, Ruisandro Cijntje of PNP, and Quincy Girigorie of PAR round out the delegation. Parlatino is a regional parliamentary body that brings together legislators from Latin American and Caribbean nations to discuss shared political and social issues. The simultaneous absence of eight parliamentarians from the island raises questions about quorum and ongoing legislative business in Willemstad. No details were provided in the report about the specific agenda items to be discussed at the Parlatino meetings.
