MEP’s Political Games: Will RAIZ Hold On As Aruba’s Government Crumbles?

Aruba’s coalition government is facing increasing pressure from a growing number of scandals and accusations of corruption. The taxi licensing issue has become a major point of contention, with the Minister of Transportation accused of involvement in corrupt practices. The opposition MEP party is seizing this opportunity, exploiting the weaknesses of the ruling RAIZ party and aiming to bring down the government before the scheduled 2025 elections. Despite facing intense criticism, RAIZ is clinging to power, but the pressure from the MEP party and the public’s dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of the scandals could force a change in leadership. The MEP party is also utilizing this situation to promote its own agenda, positioning itself as the solution to the country’s political and economic woes. However, the party’s past record of corruption and questionable policies have left many Arubans skeptical.
