About Claude Wathey
- Claude Wathey (full name Albert Claudius Wathey; 1926 – January 1998), was a prominent politician of the Democratic Party from the island of Sint Maarten.
- He was knighted by the Dutch Crown for his political longevity. Wathey championed political independence for the island in 1989, but was later convicted on charges of perjury; however, many on Sint Maarten felt the trial was nothing more than a witch hunt conducted by his rivals and adversaries in Curaçao and the Netherlands in order to break his monopoly on political power in Sint Maarten and to destroy his credibility.
- Despite this, he remains a popular figure, even after his death.
