Curaçao Parliament Demands Investigation into Government Company 2BAYS
What happened
The Curaçao parliament demanded an independent investigation into the management and Supervisory Board of 2BAYS. Instead of proceeding immediately, Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas' Ministry of General Affairs was tasked with determining if the parliamentary motion could be implemented. The demand arose amid criticism over the slow progress of the former Isla refinery area, which 2BAYS is central to for economic activity.

Why it matters
2BAYS is considered crucial for Curaçao's future industrial development, investment, and employment. The government confirmed that cooperation with Oryx/Vigor ended because the company allegedly failed to meet payment obligations, leading to approximately US$10 million in lost revenue and operating costs for 2BAYS and subsidiary CRU.
