The Fuerza Nacional Progresista (FNP) rejected the pre-candidate Cristóbal Rodríguez as a candidate for the Constitutional Court replacement. The political party says that Rodríguez “was the principal expert that testified before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, supporting the slanderous anti-nationalist arguments that allowed this court to dare order the Dominican State to revoke Constitutional Court ruling 168-13 on nationality and migration.”
The spokesmen for the FNP say that Rodriguez is an advisor to eight organizations that are financed by foreign money and conspire to take from the Dominican Republic its faculty to sovereignly define who is a national. The opposition party alerted that nobody who has been part of this anti-national plot, independent of their professional qualifications, should become a member of the Constitutional Court.
Rodriguez was on the list of candidates proposed by the civic society group, Finjus. Others were Bernabel Moricete Fabián, Claudio Aníbal Medrano, Cristóbal Rodríguez, Domingo Antonio Gil, Gladys Sánchez Richiez, José Alejandro Ayuso, Juan Alfredo Biaggi, Julio José Rojas Báez, Miguel Valera, Rafael Ciprián Lora, Rosina de la Cruz Cabrera, Sergio Antonio Ortega and Yokaurys Morales Castillo.
