The National Network for the Defense of Sovereignty sent a legal notification to the Senate indicating that the bill that establishes a special regime for persons born in the DR that were irregularly registered in the Civil Registry violates the Constitution of the Republic. The group specifically mentions that the 2010 Constitution establishes that to reform nationality and citizenship issues, a bill need to be submitted to Congress for the ordering of a meeting of the National Assembly for Revision of the Constitution. The bill needs to state the articles that are subject to the reform. The approval of any reform requires the ratification by a majority of citizens with the right to vote through a referendum for approval that would be called by the Central Electoral Board after the National Assembly has voted and approved the reform.
