Ministry of the Interior and Police denies authorization for Haitian diaspora march.
The Ministry of the Interior and Police has denied authorizing the march planned for Saturday the 15th by the Haitian diaspora in the eastern part of the country.
Vice Minister Juan Manuel Rosario emphasized that the Ministry firmly upholds its immigration policy in line with current regulations. These regulations prohibit the presence of foreigners who are not compliant with the law and the Constitution.
Rosario stated that attempting to coerce the Dominican State through marches or other forms of protest to disregard its immigration policies and laws is counterproductive to social peace, citizen security, and public order in the Dominican Republic. He noted that such actions would violate Law No. 285-04 on migration and necessitate the Ministry of the Interior and Police to enforce article 122, paragraph 1 of the Immigration Law.
He reminded that neither foreigners nor nationals advocating for these positions are permitted to engage in activities within the national territory that contravene internal regulations or the broader principles of international law.
