On Sunday, 13 October 2019, the National Business Council (Conep), the leading Dominican business organization, published a document calling for the strengthening of democratic institutions. Conep groups more than 40 business associations. The Conep statement indicated that the challenges arising from the implementation of the new legal regulation of parties and the electoral system require a broad climate of confidence in the ongoing processes.
The business organization appealed to Dominican society as a whole and especially to its politicians to act with prudence and responsibility, in strict compliance with the law and due respect for the legal system.
The business community values and backs the work of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) as the administrator of this process, affirming that the actions it has undertaken contribute to the transparency of the electoral system.
