Estimado Koleganan,

Awor nos ta seis (6) anja despues di e restrukturashon di e relashonnan konstitushonal den Reino, den kual nos a resulta den e islanan-BES entidat publiko, komo un struktura temporal I kaminda nos islanan Boneiru I Sint Eustatius a wordu enganja. E pueblonan strukturalmente pa anjos a reklama, protesta I a tene varios referendum tur resultando den rechazo demokratiko di e struktura kolonial impone riba e pueblonan. Diferente investigashonan sientifiko I popular di varios institushonan I ekspertonan, etc independiente di den I pafor di Reino, inkluso Komishon Spies apunta pa boso mes, tur a bini na mes un konklushon, ku despues di 10-10-10 e pueblo Boneriano ta infeliz, a krea un sentimentu anti-Makamba pasobra di e invashon I takeover obvio di Hulandes-Oropeanonan I konsekwentemente a rechaza e status aktual den e referendum di Dezember 2015, ku un voto indesputabel di 65% No, ratifika pa e konseho insular elegi komo un desishon legal demokratiko di e pueblo Boneriano.

Te ku awe boso Gobiernu Hulandes a sostene e aktual gobiernu lokal, ku a kampanja abierto I publikamente pa vota-Si durante e referendum I ku ta den kompleto repudio I no ta respeta e bos I desishon di pueblo di Boneiru. Esaki ta implika boso tur dos komo Gobiernu Hulandes I e gobiernu lokal pa violashon grave di e prinsipionan demokratiko di nos estado di derecho, e derechonan demokratiko, di outo-determinashon I derechonan humano di e pueblo Boneriano ku e posishon arogante di abuso di poder aki kontra e deseo I bos di e pueblo.

Ta obvio ku boso a usa boso poder pa anula desishonan di gobiernonan lokal pa medio di boso desishonnan di Reino pa e ultimo anjanan den Reino, pero manera nos a eksperensia I basa riba tur e hechonan ariba I mas, boso a mustra di ta di dobel-moral ora ta konserni pa sali na defensa di nos derechonan demokratiko, derecho di outo-determinashon I derechonan humano, kaminda ku boso konsekwentemente a tuma un posishon unilateral a-demokratiko I awor ta riba ruta pa konsolida e anekshon I ankramentu di nos, sin libertat I igualdat den boso konstitushon.

Awe, nos komo pueblo, ku e derechonan aki ta pertenese na dje I no na gobiernu ni politikonan, ta eksperensiando un traishon real di parti di tur dos gobiernunan nan poder, esun di Reino I esun lokal, kual nan a eligi I ta wordu spera di nan pa respeta I guia demokrasia I estado di derecho. Manera nos tur ta di akuerdo ku estado di derecho I ley ta basa riba respeto mutuo di nos tur, ami personalemente I tur otro ku ta eksperensia e mesun traishon I ta sin defensa di nos gobiernunan konserniendo respet pa demokrasia I leynan,
no tin otro opshon pa kai bek riba nos derechonan natural ku ta universal I inalienabel, nos ley natural, ku ta e base di nos eksistensia I nos dignidat humano.

Nos lo promove solamente resistensia pasivo I no-violento, I lo sigui I kai bao di nos derechonan natural, nos patrimonio, nos leynan natural te ku boso stop ku ankramentu di nos teritorio den boso konstitushon I ku e estado di derecho I demokrasia wordu respeta I restora den nos teritorio. Lo keda na kada ken di e pueblo pa respeta o no leynan I protekshonan no-natural impone riba nos rekursonan natural I nos habitat, asina nos por garantisa nos eksistensia I te ku nos derechonan demokratiko, derechonan di outo-determinashon I derechonan humano ta re-establese I proteha.

Atentamente,
James Finies, Nos Ke Boneiru Bek

Dear Colleagues,

We are now over six (6) years after the restructured constitutional relations within the Kingdom, of which we resulted in the BES-islands public entity system, as a temporary structure and where our islands Bonaire and Sint Eustatius has been deceived. Our peoples structurally over the years have complained, protested and have held several referendums all resulting in democratic rejection of this imposed modernized colonial structure on our peoples. Several scientific and popular research from various independent institutions,scholars, etc within and outside the Kingdom including your own appointed Commission Spies all came to the same conclusion, that after 10-10-10 the people of Bonaire are unhappy, build up a anti-Dutch sentiment because of the obvious invasion and takeover by the European Dutch and consequently and hence democratically rejected this status in the December 2015 referendum, with a indisputable 65% No- vote, ratified by the elected island council as a legally binding democratic decision of the Bonerian peoples.

As up today your Dutch government has supported the current local government, which has campaigned openly and publicly for the Yes-vote during the referendum and which is in complete denial and disrespect of the voice and decision of the Bonerian peoples. This implicates both the Dutch Government and the local government to gross violation of the democratic principles of the rule of law, the democratic, self-determination and human rights of the Bonerian peoples with this power-based arrogant position and against the will and voice of the peoples.

It is obvious that you has used your power to overrule local government decisions by your Kingdom acts over the last years structurally within the Kingdom, but as we have experienced and based on all facts here-above and more, you have shown to be of double-moral when it comes to the defense of our peoples democratic, self-determination and human rights, where you consequently is taking a unilateral undemocratic approach and position and are on your way to consolidate the annexation and embedding of us, without freedom and equality in your constitution.

Today, we as the people , which these rights belongs to and not to the government nor the politicians, are experiencing a factual betrayal by both governments,in power, the Kingdom and local, who are elected and are supposed to respect and guide the democratic rule of law. As we all agree that rule of law and law is based on mutual respect from all of us, I myself and all others who are experiencing the same betrayal are without defense of our governments regarding to respect to democracy and laws, has no option to fall back on our universal and inalienable natural rights, our law of nature, which is the base of our existence and our human dignity.

We will only promote passive non-violent resistance, and will follow our natural rights our birth-right natural laws till you stop the embedding of our territory in your constitution and the rule of law and democracy are respected and restored in our territory. It will be up to us the people to respect or not any unnatural laws and protection imposed on our natural resources and habitat so we can guarantee our existence and till we are guaranteed of respect to our democratic, self-determination and human rights are re-established and protected.

Sincerely yours,
James Finies, Nos Ke Boneiru Bek
