From/By MP Ardwell Irion

"By order of the Court of First Instance of Sint Maarten, I am required to rectify statements I made in an article published in The Peoples Tribune on September 30, 2025.

In the article, I wrongly stated that Bloem had admitted that his office had submitted excessive claims to GEBE in 2019 and 2020.

I also wrongly portrayed Mr. Bloem as a desperate man who was only interested in self-promotion for the position of chairman of the board of directors of the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

Mr. Ardwell Irion, Member of parliament"
