Moises Frumencio da Coasta Gomez established the National People’s Party in 1948 with the goal of achieving autonomy and self-government for Curaçao from the Netherlands. He became the first prime minister when the Netherlands Antilles was created. This was a group of six islands who collectively became a constituent country of the Netherlands in 1954. Curaçao was the capital. In 1986, Aruba seceded from the group. The status of remaining islands was dissolved in 2010. Now Curaçao, along with Aruba, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands, are each considered to be a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
