The Dominican Republic government says it recognizes one Spain as it made known its position regarding the domestic crisis that confronts Catalonia’s separatist government and the national government in Madrid. By way of the Ministry of Foreign Relations, the Dominican government called for the discussions to be done according to the rule of law, according to the Spanish constitution.
In a press notice, the Ministry of Foreign Relations has come forth to address the “deep historic and cultural ties with Spain, and that is why our government and our people are following with concern the events in Catalonia in recent days.”
“The Dominican Republic rejects any action taken against the constitutional order and Spanish law and supports the government of Spain in the defense of the rule of law and the unity of its territory,” stated the Mirex note.
“We are confident that stability and dialogue will prevail in the search for solutions that guarantee peaceful coexistence throughout Spain,” reads the note.
Minister Miguel Vargas Maldonado issued the statement after the Catalan regional parliament in Barcelona passed a motion unilaterally establishing a new country on Friday, 27 October 2017. The Spanish government subsequently removed the Catalan president of his duties and dissolved the regional parliament, imposing direct rule on the region.
