Good for the President

Diario Libre’s editorial today, Friday 31 January congratulates President Danilo Medina on his response to the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves.

“Our country has waited too long before putting the Prime Minister of [St Vincent and] the Grenadines in his place. This newspaper has suggested that a firm answer should have been given from the start, because fools should not be allowed to keep at it.

“President Medina’s vigorous position at the CELAC Summit is the position of all the country that wants a solution to a problem for which we are responsible to be found, but that cannot be resolved neither by foreign pressure nor agreement with the particular wishes of people, institutions or countries that are not stakeholders.

“The prime minister’s double standards are obvious. A story in the island’s leading newspaper describes how five Haitian citizens who had overstayed their visas by several months were deported. Mr. Gonsalves does not want another sovereign state, such as the Dominican Republic to do what [St. Vincent and] the Grenadines does.

“The country is with its President and congratulates him for the dignified position based on the law expressed in Cuba.”
