| Government - Netherlands Antilles | | | | | | The Netherlands Antilles is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which also includes Aruba, which separated from the Antilles January 1, 1986. The Netherlands Antilles enjoys self-determination on all internal matters and defers to the Netherlands in matters of defense, foreign policy, and some judicial functions. The Antilles is governed by a popularly elected unicameral "Staten" (parliament) of 22 members. It chooses a prime minister (called minister president) and a Council of Ministers consisting of six to eight other ministers. A governor, who serves a 6-year term, represents the monarch of the Netherlands. Local government is assigned authority independently on each island. Under the direction of a kingdom-appointed island governor, these local governments have a "Bestuurscollege" (administrative body) made up of commissioners who head the separate government departments. | | | Principal Government Officials | | | GovernoróFrits Goedgedrag Prime MinisteróEtienne Ys Deputy Prime MinisteróErsilia de Lannooy Minister of Education, Culture, Youth, and SportsóMaritza Silberie Minister of FinanceóErsilia de Lannooy Minister of General and Foreign AffairsóEtienne Ys Minister of Economic Affairs and LaboróAlexander Rosaria Minister of Health and Social AffairsóJoan Theodora-Brewster Minister of JusticeóDavid Dick Minister of Transportation and TelecommunicationóOmayra Leeflang Minister Plenipotentiary to The HagueóPaul Comenencia Director, Bank of the Netherlands AntillesóEmsley Tromp |
