Today marks a significant milestone in Suriname’s political landscape as the Reform and Renewal Movement (HVB) commemorates its eighth anniversary. Founded in 2015, the HVB emerged from a profound belief that the nation required a political shift—one centered on responsibility rather than power, and sustainable development over short-term gains. This anniversary is not a celebration but a moment of reflection, emphasizing the values, principles, and vision that define the movement. The HVB was born out of political disillusionment and growing distrust in traditional governance, choosing a path of renewal that prioritizes citizen voices and national interests. Over the past eight years, the movement has faced challenges but remained steadfast in its commitment to principled leadership. The HVB’s foundation rests on eight core pillars: principled politics over privileges, good governance and transparency, economic justice, social equality, national unity, responsible leadership, innovation, and unwavering loyalty to Suriname. These principles guide the movement through turbulent times, shaping its decisions and actions. The HVB aims to restore trust, inspire hope, and drive meaningful change, positioning itself not merely as a political party but as a movement for the nation’s future. As it enters a new phase, the HVB remains dedicated to collaboration, transparency, and courageous choices, working alongside citizens to build a Suriname defined by justice, stability, and prosperity. Raymond Sapoen, the movement’s political leader, expressed gratitude to supporters, critics, and partners who have contributed to its journey, reaffirming the HVB’s commitment to Suriname’s renewal and progress.
