flag Curaçao’s Finance Minister resigns after public clash with tax chief, sparking political turmoil and calls for investigation.

flag Curaçao’s Finance Minister Javier Silvania has resigned after a public dispute with Tax Receiver Alfonso Trona, following a leaked heated exchange and failed efforts to discipline senior civil servants. flag Silvania stepped down but reclaimed a parliamentary seat, remaining politically active. flag The conflict has triggered internal divisions within the ruling MFK party, sparked calls for a criminal investigation, and raised concerns about governance and stability. flag A parliamentary hearing is scheduled, with Silvania, Trona, and Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas set to testify. flag The fallout coincides with turmoil in the island’s gambling sector, where the Curaçao Gaming Authority’s supervisory board resigned in September, leaving oversight unclear. flag The opposition PNP denied talks with MFK and urged greater transparency, while a protest is planned over the escalating crisis.
