Netherlands PM denounces murder of Curacao politician
May 07, 2013
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, CMC - Prime Minister Mark Rutte Monday condemned the assassination of Helmin Wiels, the leader of the largest political party in Curacao's coalition government who was shot dead late Sunday in the Punda section of the Dutch island's capital.
Rutte spokesman Henk Brons said it is not yet clear whether the Netherlands will assist the police investigation, and if so how.
With his death, the coalition government, with a one-seat hold on power here, has been plunged into crisis. Wiels, of the Pueblo Soberano Party (Sovereign People Party), had been campaigning on an anti-corruption platform.
