Timeline

1936

Henck Alphonsus Eugène Arron (25 April 1936 – 4 December 2000) was a Surinamese politician who served as the first Prime Minister of Suriname after it gained independence in 1975.

Arron was born in Paramaribo in 1936.

1956

He completed high school in 1956, and moved to the Netherlands to study banking.

Arron worked several years at the Amsterdamsche Bank.

On return to Suriname, he became staff member at the Vervuurts Bank (current name Hakrinbank).

1961

In 1961, Arron became a member of the National Party of Suriname (NPS), the main Creole party.

1963

In late 1963, he became deputy director of the Volkskredietbank (People's Credit Union).

1970

In 1970, Arron was chosen as the Chairman of the NPS.

1973

A member of the National Party of Suriname, he served from 24 December 1973 with the transition government, to 25 February 1980.

He was overthrown in a coup d'état by the military, led by Dési Bouterse.

In 1973, he created a coalition which included the pro-independence Nationalist Republican Party (PNR), that won that year's general election.

On 24 December 1973, Arron became prime minister, and lead the final negotiation for the independence of Suriname.

The NPS found an ally in the Dutch PvdA who wanted independence as soon as possible.

1974

In February 1974, Arron announced that Suriname would be seeking independence before the end of 1975.

Many observers were surprised, as Arron's NPS did not have a majority in favour of independence.

1975

The Netherlands granted Suriname independence on 25 November 1975.

The independence was marked by social unrest, economic depression, and rumours of corruption.

1977

Its leaders were accused of fraud in the 1977 elections, in which Arron won a further term.

During the first years of independence about one-third of the population emigrated to the Netherlands.

The hastily created Suriname National Army had many non-commissioned officers who tried to unionise complaining about corruption, and poor pay.

1980

Arron refused to recognise them, and arrested the ringleaders who were to go to trial on 26 February 1980.

Also, elections were planned for March of that year.

On 25 February, Arron was overthrown and jailed in a coup by the military led by Dési Bouterse.

1981

Released in 1981 after charges of corruption were dropped, he returned to banking, his previous career.

In 1981, Arron was released under house arrest.

A year later, he was selected as managing director of the Surinamese People's Credit Bank.

1987

In 1987, Arron was elected as Vice President of Suriname and served until another coup in 1990 overthrew the government.

In 1987, the United Nations, Netherlands, France, and United States pressured the military government to negotiate, and Suriname saw a return to democracy.

1988

That year Arron was elected as Vice President of Suriname (and therefore Chairman of the Council of Ministers), serving from 26 January 1988 to 24 December 1990.

Ramsewak Shankar was elected as president.

1990

Their government was overthrown in 1990 in another coup by Bouterse and the military.

2000

In December 2000, Arron was invited by the Royal Tropical Institute to the Netherlands to talk about 25 years of Surinamese independence.

On the evening of 4 December, he died at the home of his brother as a result of cardiac arrest.
