President Luis Abinader is entrusting 44-year old National District senator Faride Virginia Raful Soriano with one of the toughest jobs in the country. She is appointed Minister of Interior & Police as of the start of Abinader\u2019s second term in government, on 16 August 2024. Her term as a senator ends on 16 August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, as a senator, Faride Raful had stated that the National Police should be started from scratch, Listin Diario recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raful is a former deputy in Congress (PRM 2016-2020). She is also well known in her role as co-host of the Esta Noche con Mariasela TV variety program. She is a lawyer and now will be the first woman to hold the key cabinet position in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She studied Law at the Pontifical Catholic University Madre y Maestra and earned a master’s degree in Telecommunications and Information Technology Law from Carlos III University of Madrid. She also completed a postgraduate program in Information Law at the University of Salamanca and specialized in Copyright and Related Rights at the University of the Andes in M\u00e9rida, Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Interior and Police deals with the police and security in the Dominican Republic. Diario Libre editorial says Raful has been handed “a hot potato.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same Decree 420-24 sends current Minister of Interior & Police Jesus (Chu) Vasquez to be the Dominican consul in New York City. Vasquez had been in the position since 16 August 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current general consul in NYC, Eligio Antonio Jaquez Cruz is appointed agricultural affairs advisor to the President. He had been general consul since 16 August 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
