Aruba - Political Flags (776 words) |
 | I just graduated in Contemporary History and specialized in Aruban history, in which an important role is played by the RUBA political party in secedeing from CuraƧao in 1977. |
 | The RUBA split from the MEP (Movimiento Electoral di Pueblo) of Betico Croes; RUBA means: "United Reformers for the Wellbeing of Aruba", however the abbreviation is more telling than the official name: RUBA means: Aruba and is very often used in Aruban Papiamento. |
 | It was hindered by the resurgence by the old AVP (Aruban People's party) in the early 1980's under the leadership of Henny Eman jr. |
