History

Movement 21 was founded on 1 October 2021 by independent island councillor Daisy Coffie. [1] Coffie had been a member of the Bonaire People's Movement (MPB) group in the island council of Bonaire since the 2015 election, but left the party in September 2020 following an internal dispute. [2]

Movement 21 describes itself as "social liberal" and "a centrist, progressive movement". [3] The party participated in the 2023 island council election and electoral college election, winning one seat in both the island council and the electoral college for the Senate. [4] [5] In the run-up to the 2025 Dutch general election, the party issued an election recommendation for Volt because of its proposals that would contribute to a more equal and respectful relationship between the European and Caribbean parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
