Press Release
NKBB congratulates the
peoples of Bonaire for their unprecedented act of courage and resistance of
massively protesting and boycotting the March 20, 2019 cover-up elections
organized by the Dutch government in a desperate action to legitimize the Dutch
colonial status imposed on October 10, 2010.
As all political analysts are analyzing the results, NKBB determine that
the referendum 2015 base of 5040 No-Votes remained steady and grew further. The
2019 elections results shows (that) 5269 No-Voters and 215 blank and invalid votes, and the pro-Bonaire parties (EN-UPP-FSP-URB) with 1284 votes totaling 6768
voters, remained unhappy and protested
against the current colonial status.
And we still have to add to count to this
amount all the citizens that in the election, voted out of tradition, emotion,
loyalty, etc to their PDB and UPB leaders and candidates but are against this
system, and wants Bonaire back, and voted No in the referendum of 2015.
NKBB called to the people to
either don't vote or vote blank as protest, don't fall in the Dutch democratic
trap and to protect the results of the massive rejection of the current status
in the 2015 referendum. Don't vote to continue to show the dissatisfaction
against the illegal annexation and embedding of the territory and the peoples
of Bonaire in the Dutch constitution without equal rights and under Dutch
colonial rule from the Hague.
The
protest-vote was simultaneously an act of solidarity with the peoples of our
sister island Sint Eustatius where the Dutch government through undemocratic
abusive actions deposed the legitimate elected government and deprived the
citizens of St Eustatius of their democratic human rights by blocking the
scheduled free election.
The political party MPB which
campaigned extensively and publicly in 2015 referendum for the Yes-vote and
lost the referendum with 2649 yes-votes, grew with 927 votes in this election
more merely of Dutch-European immigrants, who voted to maintain the current
status won the 2019 elections but will remain to be against the people of
Bonaire which rejected this structure in the 2015 referendum.
This result is
evident since 2015 the population keeps on growing at rate of immigration over 400% with mostly immigrating
Dutch-Europeans with the right to vote after 90 days residing on Bonaire. The
cruel reality is the fact that Bonerians are displaced and facing an inevitable
ethnic cleansing process, and are reduced to the minority on our own island.
A revolution was initiated with NKBB call to
boycott and protest against this political system that is illegal and a clear
colonial structure got the whole local island leadership which still believes
in this system where they have no-power and the Dutch government in the Hague
governs and decides, were challenged in their core beliefs, stood up against
NKBB.
The Dutch propaganda machine
mobilized intensively to counter the possibility of the peoples protesting and
not voting. All media outlets were
flooded, thousands were spent by the Dutch-government to promote go-vote. The
“RijksDienst Caribbean Netherlands” (RCN) the Chamber of Commerce, the elite
and service groups leadership united , the Dutch press/ media conspired and intimidated
the local press to boycott and stop NKBB from exposure in the Dutch and local press, innocent popular Bonaire icons
where miss-used to promote go-vote etc.
The governor Mr Rijna, not-elected and
appointed to represent the King and the Kingdom interests, was used as some
kind of main mascot, almost everyday in the media, to call on the people to
make use of their sacred-right to go-vote. Hypocrisy at its highest to oblige
the people to go-vote and legalize a system that has shattered and violated all
their sacred fundamental human , democratic and self-determination rights.
On
election-day as never before in our history, an all day-long all media
campaign, also from our sister islands, headed by the governor to call on the
people to go vote. And despite all this
propaganda to promote a non-existent fake-democracy, voting in a Dutch ruled
colony, the people of Bonaire stood strong and showed that they will fight to
the end for their island and defeated all powers of manipulation. All prior
elections the turnout was over 80%, now fell to about ca 60% and deducting all
the Dutch-Europeans and immigrant loyalists and mercenaries we can safely
establish that the turnout is under 50% .
With this result the people
of Bonaire has rescued and re-established their dignity. The hope is alive and
regained new strength and we are urging the people to come together and support
NKBB trajectory to re-list Bonaire back on the NSGT list of the UN to get the
international community involved to regain our rights, and to be as free and as
equal as all Dutch-Europeans.
