Franklin Romero highlights significant progress in the security of San Francisco de Macorís
The senator for the Duarte province, Franklin Romero, stated that San Francisco de Macorís has achieved notable progress in terms of citizen security, overcoming critical challenges that had historically affected the area. The legislator acknowledged that, although specific challenges regarding delinquency and criminality persist, the current landscape is considerably more favorable than in previous years.
Yes, we have crime, yes we have real situations of criminality, but we have been overcoming that. Every day I believe we are better. If we look at the statistics, in San Francisco de Macorís we have advanced quite a bit.

Key factors in security improvement
For the congressman, the strengthening of security is not a matter of chance, but the result of joint work between authorities and social sectors. Among the elements that have allowed for this change, Romero highlighted:
- The active integration of neighborhood associations in community surveillance.
- The promotion of tolerance and mediation to prevent neighborhood conflicts.
- An approach based on data and official statistics, beyond the subjective perception of the population.
Romero emphasized that the economic and social development the province is experiencing must be supported by peaceful coexistence. The short-term goal is to consolidate the achievements made by strengthening prevention policies, ensuring that social risk factors do not turn into new threats to the citizenry.
Recognition for communicative career
On another note, the senator took the opportunity to highlight the 27-year career of communicator Nelson. Romero praised the fact that the professional, a native of the Duarte province, has managed to transcend the realm of radio and television studios to connect deeply with social causes.
The legislator celebrated Nelson’s success in Santiago, describing his career as an example of perseverance and overcoming challenges for the youth of San Francisco de Macorís. According to Romero, Nelson’s work over nearly three decades demonstrates that communication, when practiced with commitment, is a powerful tool for serving people and generating a positive impact on society.
