The thread is about this:
"Trujillo's Grandson Seeks To Set Record Straight About El Jefe"
How do I know it?
Well, it is written right there...the OP put it. Any thing unclear?
The thread is about the truth. Just today the Federaci?n de Fundaci?nes Patrioticas that groups together small anti-Trujillo groups without little, or no real popular support like H?roes de Luper?n de 1949, h?roes de Constanza, Maim?n y Estero Hondo; Hermanas Mirabal; h?roes del 30 de Mayo and Manolo Tavarez foundations called on the government to apply an unconstitutional, unethical and repressive undemocratic law 5880-62 that instituted penalties for " louding, Trujillo's tyrannical regime, exhalt Trujillos in a loud voice, written form publicly, drawings, printed media, paintings or emblems will be prosecuted for committing crimes against public peace, security and will be punished with 10 days of prison to a year and a fine"
Give me a BREAK!
This all came about because Ramfis Dominguez Trujillo called for open discussions and investigations about the destiny of the former Trujillo properties; who's in possesion, how that came about and an inventory. He also wants a free dialogue about his grandfather.
I also want to know. He's a Dominican. I am too. We are entitled by the constitution to these rights.
A draconian law pushed by a tiny group of people long forgotten by history for their lack of legitimacy, and supported by governments that conveniently enriched themselves and these same self-proclaimed heroes by usurping and robbing the state
will not stop people from inquiring the reasons we have 50 years lost in the form of a constitutional dictatorship.
Using a law that has never been applied except thru sheer force. They stopped a Trujillo Museum, and a Trujillo Foundation.
But they cannot stop Dominicans from free speech. Or isn't this the reason we established a democratic state?
Wasn't free speech what Trujillo suppressed? Why do they want to suppress the right to true history? Can we erase 30 years of history by law?
The truth is the Anti-Trujillo forces fear Trujillo more than ever. They fear the opportunity of a revival of Trujillismo when they compare it to today's disastrous experiment with 50 years of fraud. Is not that Trujillo will resusitate. But the Trujillo family has the right to be Dominican citizens and enjoy the same rights all Dominicans enjoy.
They have a right to participate in politics, run for office and share their values.
They are a new generation.
They ask themselves like we do how it is possible for the H?roes de Luper?n to be concerned about the Trujillo family, but ignore the outright theft by the Leonel Fernandez government of the land and 180 apartments at Avenida Luper?n. You got that? Heroes de Luperon 1949=apartamentos de la Luper?n?
So the Comesolos can steal the country dry, but Trujillo's grandson can't say why?
Is this fair to you. If so, I might as well quit this thread.
I speak with facts. Not emotion. Many replies to threads are not supported with real arguments.
This is not about Trujillo. Trujillo is history. But his legacy remains wether you like it or not.
Our military runs with Trujillo's fuel. Our police is a repressive tool of the state, and a part time organized crime gang.
Let us hear the truth.
