According to him, the ABOP is being put under pressure. Matters are promised, but these are not honoured. \u201cSo it is not a threat; they are simply not working well with us, and at a certain point we will reach the climax.\u201d<br \/>\nThe ABOP parliamentarian said that President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons must know how to work with a partner. \u201cIf we help each other, there will be no problem.\u201d He noted that if the ABOP had wanted to leave the coalition, it would have done so long ago. Brunswijk hopes that the NDP does not act dictatorially, because the party did not win the elections. \u201cLet the NDP provide a quorum in parliament on its own; that will not work. If the ABOP is not present, there is no quorum.\u201d According to him, the NDP did not win the elections with 18 seats.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOP chairman Ronnie Brunswijk denies that he is leaving the government and stresses that his criticism stems from dissatisfaction with cooperation, not from a threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":192374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_29234516172805655_1309923202201307":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1158244960706604":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1093738170500407":"","facebook_29234516172805655_108923581283702":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[16390],"tags":[21345,84,20032,18326,22649,16292],"class_list":["post-192373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politiek-sr","tag-abop","tag-key-news","tag-nieuws","tag-politics","tag-ronnie-brunswijk","tag-suriname"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192537,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192373\/revisions\/192537"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
