From Land Thief to Land Savior: Christophe Emmanuel’s Mullet Bay Masquerade
By The People’s Ledger
Christophe Emmanuel now films videos like he’s the last honest man in government—solemn, wide-eyed, and deeply “concerned” about Mullet Bay.

He talks about protecting the land for the people. He warns of shady deals. He demands accountability.
But what he doesn’t mention—what he hopes you’ll forget—is that when he had the power to do something, he did absolutely nothing. Except steal.
He didn’t save Mullet Bay. He didn’t pass reforms. He didn’t protect squat.
He handed out government land like carnival flyers—to friends, cronies, and political loyalists.

And now, with eight criminal charges and a potential 8-year prison sentence hanging over his head, he’s reinvented himself as some land-rights crusader?
Give us a break.
🎭 The Mullet Bay Flip-Flop
Let’s go back. 2016 to 2018, Christophe Emmanuel served as Minister of VROMI—the one person with full control over zoning, land distribution, and public property in St. Maarten.
He had the keys to the kingdom. He could’ve passed real reforms, secured Mullet Bay as a national park, or set up transparent leasing systems. But instead?
He spent his final days in office pulling a fast one.

On his last day—November 2017—Emmanuel signed over 12,000 square meters of government land into long leases.
No tenders. No competitive process. Just quietly passed to “select” individuals. Some of them had ties to him.
Others were political foot soldiers. It was vote-buying through land theft, a classic backdoor deal dressed up as “development.”
The court later said it plainly: this was abuse of office. The leases were likely illegal. Successive governments moved to reverse them.
His name became synonymous with “departure policy”—a polite term for “raiding the fridge before getting fired.”

Now fast forward to 2023. Christophe Emmanuel is back in the spotlight—but now he’s waving a flag over Mullet Bay.
As an MP, he proposed a motion demanding the property not be sold until a parliamentary inquiry finishes.
He wants St. Maarten to have the first right of refusal. He insists the people deserve transparency.
This is the same man who—when in charge—hid everything. Who issued leases without oversight. Who actively broke the very transparency laws he now screams about.
🎥 Lights, Camera, Distraction
Now he’s on Facebook, shooting videos in front of Mullet Bay. Sweating. Gesturing. Looking like a man fighting for his country.
In reality? He’s fighting for a plea deal.

Because while Emmanuel films land-saving propaganda, the Public Prosecutor prepares to prosecute him for corruption, fraud, and abuse of power. He faces eight years in prison. His defense? That it’s all political.
But it’s not. The facts are public. The documents are signed. The land was handed out.
The court rulings are clear. This isn’t a smear campaign. It’s a criminal investigation into a man who used public office for private gain.
The videos are not activism. They’re distraction. He knows public memory is short, so he’s pretending to lead a fight he actively ignored while in power.
Let’s be brutally clear: If Christophe Emmanuel truly cared about Mullet Bay, he would have protected it when he could. Instead, he used his power to feed a political machine—and now that machine has chewed him up.
🪙 From Kingpin to Clown
It’s hard not to laugh. Emmanuel now walks the halls of Parliament as a broke, indicted man, clinging to relevance through fake outrage. His reputation is shredded. His finances are a mess. His legacy? Theft and threats.

He used to threaten the press for exposing land scandals. Now he posts edited videos trying to look serious, hoping no one remembers he once called journalists “snakes” and “enemies.” But people remember.
They remember the leases. The bribes. The silence during Irma recovery. The communities that needed help but got backroom deals instead.
They remember that Emmanuel had the chance to revolutionize VROMI—to digitize records, publish leaseholder lists, and protect national treasures like Mullet Bay. Instead, he used his pen to rob the people.
Now, his courtroom awaits. His “land-saving” speeches won’t save him there. Judges deal in evidence, not shaky videos.
⚖️ A Fitting End?
Maybe prison won’t be so bad for him. He’s used to confined spaces. He likes structure. And he’ll finally be surrounded by people who share his worldview: take what you can, deny everything, and never apologize.
St. Maarten deserves better. Mullet Bay deserves real protection—not crocodile tears from a man who once saw public land as his personal piggy bank.
So next time Christophe Emmanuel drops another “concerned citizen” video, remember this: he’s not saving Mullet Bay—he’s using it as a shield.
Because behind the camera, the real story is closing in.
