Ser Board inactive as term ends, govt. grant 1 year extension, then withdraws it

St. Maarten's Social Economic Council (SER) board is currently inactive after its term expired on April 30, potentially affecting critical socio-economic legislation and policy advice. The government initially extended the board's term by one year, only to withdraw this decision shortly after. This situation arises amid a growing dispute between the SER and the Prime Minister regarding procedural delays and consultation processes.
