(de Ware Tijd) PARAMARIBO — President Desi Bouterse should accept his defeat at the High Council in the Netherlands and resign at once. This is a hard judgment made by Bouterse’ former legal advisor, Ramon de Freitas. The Dutch Supreme Court has for the third time rejected a request to review the conviction in 2000 for drugs trafficking, citing that the request was not amply motivated.
However, Bouterse’ lawyer, Inez Wezsky, maintains the Supreme Court has never taken the case seriously. De Freitas argues that Bouterse hurt his own position by making idiotic statements in public.
