A delegation of church, community and trade union leaders met with Technical Secretary to the Presidential Office Sergio Grullon yesterday, to beseech President Hipolito Mejia to abandon his alleged initiative to have radical priest Father Rogelio Cruz transferred to the Vatican. They claimed that Father Rogelio, who is an outspoken civil rights activist, has not breached any law or compromised public peace and order. In a letter addressed to the President, they said the real threat to peace in the country was “the dollar cartel, which, under the disguise of market forces, has made the exchange rate soar.” All that Father Rogelio has done, according to his supporters, is defend the rights of poor families, especially those from his parish, the Santo Domingo neighborhood of Cristo Rey.
