Attention to the residents of St. Eustatius
The Dutch Government on Statia promised on October 10, 2010 a gradual and smooth transition to new rules and laws. In addition, there would be new and better facilities. So far, the Dutch Government has not honoured its promises sufficiently. The residents and administrators worry about the future.
PETITIE

that the local conditions and Statia’s culture are not sufficiently taken into account.
that the cost of living and the Winair ticket prices have increased dramatically
