CES President clarifies report on Haiti crisis does not address regularization of foreign labor

The president of the Economic and Social Council (CES), Rafael Toribio, clarified today that the final report on the Haitian crisis does not contain suggestions regarding the regularization of foreign labor, as has been erroneously disseminated in the media and social networks.

After delivering the document to former President Danilo Medina, Toribio stated that “the issue of regularization is not within the agreements signed in that document.” You may be interested in: He recalled that the final report was prepared based on the conversations of the different sectors that converge in the CES, but within the framework of Dominican laws. “Everything that is dealt with has to be within the observance of the law,” added Toribio. Yesterday, the CES delivered the Consolidated Final Report to President Luis Abinader and continued its process of socialization and consultation with the delivery to former President Medina. The calendar also establishes that this Thursday, September 11th at 4:00 p.m. will be delivered to former President Hipólito Mejía; and on Tuesday, September 16th at 10:00 a.m. to former President Leonel Fernández. The content of the document will be made public next Tuesday, September 16th, at two in the afternoon, after having been delivered to all former presidents.
