Santo Domingo.– The president of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) José Ignacio Paliza, warned that the Dominican government will continue the fight against organized crime and that “in our Dominican Republic, impunity is no longer an option.”
The also Minister of the Presidency, warned of the possibility of more cases related to drug trafficking and organized crime, while clarifying that this does not mean that the country is worse, but because “the law finally acts without asking permission, without looking at colors and without stopping before any power“.
“From the PRM or any other party that surrenders or will fall,” Paliza warned emphatically.
Through a national broadcast on television and social media, Paliza acknowledged the citizens’ outrage and expressed that he himself shares that feeling “as a Dominican, as a public servant, and as the president of a political party.” He pointed out that what happened “not only bothers, but hurts,” and that he understands those who today are again wondering if all politicians are the same. However, he stated categorically that “no, we are not all the same.”
The official highlighted that if today the population knows names, advanced files, active processes and multiple extraditions, it is precisely because the country has changed. He explained that this transformation is the result of the work of a truly independent Public Ministry, strengthened institutions and a President Luis Abinader who has decided not to intervene in the justice system.
“That firmness is what allows the law to act. No matter who you are, which party you belong to, or whether or not you are powerful,” he assured.
