José Ignacio Paliza open to dialogue with the opposition regarding citizen security
The Minister of the Presidency, José Ignacio Paliza, stated that the Dominican Government maintains a receptive stance regarding the possibility of establishing conversations with various sectors of the opposition. The central objective of these meetings would be to agree on effective strategies to combat the levels of criminality that currently concern Dominican society.
This provision arises in response to the recent approach by former President Leonel Fernández, who formally suggested the creation of a national dialogue table. The proposal seeks to bring together the different political forces to analyze the current situation of citizen security and develop joint solutions that positively impact the country’s tranquility.
Approach from the international stage
Paliza’s statements were made in New York City, following his participation in a high-level event that brought together diplomats, senators, and congresspeople. This meeting took place within the framework of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, where the Dominican official has carried out an agenda focused on regional cooperation and development.
The dialogue proposal suggests the participation of different political sectors in the discussion of strategies aimed at addressing criminality and strengthening citizen security in the Dominican Republic.
During his stay at the UN, the minister also emphasized the importance of strengthening international cooperation to address global challenges, such as the fight against hunger, underscoring the Dominican State’s commitment to sustaining the progress achieved in social and security matters.
