As Justice Week ends, the Honorable Minister of Public Health, Social 
Development and Labor (VSA), Mr. Richinel Brug, is extending his heartfelt appreciation to the 
Minister of Justice, Ms. Nathalie Tackling, and to all members of the justice sector for their 
dedicated service and ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of VSA.

“Firstly, as a brother and comrade who comes from the justice sector myself, and now in my 
capacity as Minister of VSA, I want to express sincere gratitude for the unwavering commitment 
and cooperative spirit of the entire justice chain,” said Minister Brug.

He emphasized that the justice sector plays an essential role not only in law enforcement but 
also in ensuring the health and safety of the wider community through daily inter-ministerial 
collaboration.

“Whether it's the police assisting ambulance services during critical emergency calls, or when 
the Inspectorate of Labor and Health relies on the support of justice officers during field 
patrols, these joint efforts reflect the strength of our shared mission—to serve and protect the 
people of St. Maarten.”

Justice Week celebrates those who work courageously and consistently to uphold justice, the 
Ministry of VSA proudly recognizes the critical intersection of public safety, labor integrity, 
and community well-being.​
