Brussel, 17 juli 2023 — Op de vandaag 17 en morgen 18 juli in Brussel te houden conferentie tussen de CELAC en Europa worden toegekend, komt Suriname in vergelijk met de overige landen er vrij bekaaid af.

Is dat door faalangst van de Surinaamse diplomatie, onkunde of onwil ? Nou ja, een brug is ook leuk.

En herstel van het historisch centrum ook hoor, daar niet van.

Maar als je weet dat er 10 miljard euro door de EU ter beschikking wordt gesteld, dan ga je je toch wel op je hoofd krabben.
