SAY GOODBYE TO RAMON LEE--DON'T BLAME CLINTON/LEWINSKY



Opposition parties agree to a man: ‘Minister Lee has to resign’



(Source)--ORANJESTAD – AVP as well as RED are of the opinion that minister Ramon Lee (MEP) must resign. AVP is also of the opinion that the Public Prosecutor didn’t act right by not prosecuting Lee, and Rudy Lampe (RED) says that the Catholic Church failed in this.


Demanding a minister to resign is according to Lampe in order. “People must make distinction between two things: has the minister handled incorrectly and with this, aggrieved the community materially, then he must definitely resign; is it a matter that concerns his private life, then it is for him to decide whether he resigns or not.


Lampe cited the Monica Lewinsky case, where the former American President Bill Clinton did not step down ultimately, in spite of having had sexual contact during working hours. “In this case it was a private matter of the president and the deposition procedure was not pursued.”


Lampe is of the opinion that in Lee’s case, the minister has abused his position by having sex with E.L. “This is a matter of courting the favours of a subservient. The victim works for the government and had asked for a transfer. The minister’s first visit to her house is already a matter of sexual contact. In this case, the matter is abuse of power and cannot be compared with the Lewinsky-case."
