History
editMovement 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]
