Santo Domingo. – In a climate of deep indignation and mourning, residents and neighbors of the child Nauriel Misael Medina Pérez, whose murder has shocked the community, expressed their absolute support for the mobilization called by the organization La Nueva Orden, led by Ángel Vásquez.
Following yesterday’s march, the community members expressed their support for the 10-day ultimatum given for Haitian citizens in an irregular situation to leave the area. The neighbors’ statements reflect a feeling of lack of protection and an urgent demand for justice for what they describe as an atrocious crime against a defenseless minor.
María, one of the local residents, was emphatic in pointing out that the community feels helpless by the central government. “Thank God we have an Angelo, because as president and authority we are orphaned,” she stated, also criticizing political figures who, in her opinion, do not prioritize the safety of the Dominican worker. For her part, Sofía, another neighbor affected by the tragedy, described the pain that overwhelms the sector, assuring that the child did not go anywhere and that the community feels “swollen” with pain due to the impunity of the crime.
The main motivation for this march is to ensure that the murder of the minor does not go unpunished, considering that the 10-day deadline is a necessary measure given the lack of an effective response from the migration authorities. In this context, the figure of Angelo Vásquez and La Nueva Orden has gained relevance as the main channel of protest for a population that feels ignored.
Neighbors report that, despite recent operations, the presence of foreigners linked to criminal acts persists, generating an atmosphere of constant fear in Dominican homes.
Despite the tension, community spokespersons clarified that they are not seeking blind violence, but rather strict adherence to the law. “We are not saying to kill anyone, we don’t want blood, but we do want justice,” concluded Maria during her statements. The community remains on high alert while the established deadline runs, warning that mobilizations will continue if the safety of families in the sector is not guaranteed.
