Former Colombian President Iv\u00e1n Duque has criticized the international community for being hypocritical in its approach to Haiti, lamenting the lack of genuine support for addressing the nation\u2019s structural problems, as reported in El Dia. Duque was President of Colombia from August 2018 to August 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a discussion with executives and journalists from Grupo de Comunicaciones Corripio, Duque responded to a question about the Dominican Republic’s role in resolving Haiti’s issues. He expressed concern that it is unrealistic to expect the Dominican Republic to shoulder this responsibility. Duque is in Santo Domingo to give a conference promoting the plusses of creative industries, as part of his Latin American tour promoting the Orange Economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a significant hypocrisy in the international community when they promote the idea that the Dominican people must solve Haiti’s problems,\u201d Duque stated. \u201cIt is a grave error to place that burden on the Dominican Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duque emphasized that Haiti’s challenges extend beyond what the Dominican Republic can handle and require serious, sustained international intervention. He called for measures to restore security, long-term investment, and improvements in essential areas like health and education. \u201cFor years, the international community has preached a lot but has done little to effectively change conditions in Haiti,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also highlighted the Dominican Republic’s ongoing struggle with a significant influx of Haitian immigrants, estimating that nearly 10% of its population consists of Haitian citizens. \u201cThere is no longer any way for the Dominican Republic to continue absorbing this pressure, as it is starting to structurally affect the country,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duque concluded that the solution lies not in demanding more from the Dominican Republic but in urging the international community to shift \u201cfrom discourse to resources\u201d to effectively address the long-standing issues facing Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
