Santo Domingo, RD: The Duartiano Institute rejected a bill on protecting victims or survivors of human trafficking and the object of migrant smuggling, considering it interventionist, contrary to the supreme interest of the Dominican Republic, and harmful to citizens.
Wilson Gómez Ramírez, president of the entity, said that the piece currently in the Senate entails a serious attack against the country’s territorial integrity, an attack on its sovereignty, and a new incentive in the policy of massive settlement of Haitians.
“All of this reaches greater seriousness at a time when an incontrovertible threat looms against our country determined by the very serious crisis that Haiti is experiencing and the inexplicable indifference that the international community has assumed in the face of the problem, particularly the OAS, UN, United States, France and Canada,” it says in a statement.
Ramírez added that “The Duartiano Institute makes an emotional call to the honorable senators and deputies to the fines to reject with all their might this openly interfering project, evidently a factory of foreign interests that fulfills its exorbitant task of undermining our sovereignty, disregarding the recognized principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of states.
