Madrid, Spain – The city of Madrid was the setting for an outstanding cultural day with the presentation of the book “The Haitian Conspiracy and the Dominican Curse,” by Dominican writer and journalist Francisco Tavárez. Dozens of people gathered at Espacio Endor to participate in an event that combined political analysis and social reflection, creating an atmosphere of closeness between the author and the attending public.
The activity was led by philosopher and writer Rafael Álvarez, who opened the event by highlighting the importance of the work. In his words, it is a necessary book, not only for the Dominican Republic, but also for the international community interested in understanding the complex Haitian reality and its impact on bilateral relations with its neighboring country.
One of the most relevant moments of the day was the intervention of Francisco Tavárez himself, who presented the content of his work with firmness. The author proposed a critical vision on historical, political, and social issues, leaving a powerful phrase that set the tone for the event: the need to face uncomfortable realities that, as he stated, continue to directly influence the present and future of the Dominican nation.
The event also featured the participation of Spanish publisher Basilio Rodríguez Cañada, president of the Sial Pigmalión Publishing Group, responsible for the publication of the work in Spain and Europe. During his speech, he explained the recent origin of the book and highlighted Tavárez’s intellectual dynamism, underscoring the importance of projecting Dominican literature on international stages.
