The Foreign Ministry has sent Wenceslao Guerrero to the Dominican embassy in Port-au-Prince to monitor the political crisis unfolding in the Haitian capital. The Ministry said that the step was necessary because of continuing Senate delays in approving journalist Silvio Herasme Pe?a as Dominican Ambassador to Haiti. Foreign Relations Subsecretary Alejandro Herrera said that the Senate should stop delaying confirmation on the excuse that there is a crisis in Haiti, since it is precisely when there is a crisis that the DR needs a fully-empowered Ambassador at the scene to assess the situation and maintain channels with key Haitian leaders.
