José Martínez Brito supports the Dominican Republic’s accession to the Geneva Consensus
The renowned lawyer and commentator, José Martínez Brito, who serves as secretary general of the Dominicanos Primero party, expressed his full support for the recent incorporation of the Dominican Republic into the Geneva Consensus. This initiative, led by the United States, focuses on fundamental pillars such as the well-being of women and the strengthening of the family unit.
For Martínez Brito, this step is a sign of consistency with the vision that should govern a nation that seeks to protect its identity. The political leader emphasized that those who assume leadership roles in the country have the unavoidable commitment to guide the citizenry toward values that strengthen social cohesion.
I understand that the leadership of each country needs to guide its population toward where they want to take them.

Focus on values and national sovereignty
During his speech, the analyst maintained that the Dominican State must ensure that its public policies serve as a mechanism to safeguard the morals and good customs that characterize society. In his view, adherence to this consensus is only the beginning of a path that the country should expand toward other international commitments.
Martínez Brito was emphatic in suggesting that the Dominican diplomatic agenda should prioritize agreements that reinforce national identity, highlighting the following points of interest for the country’s strengthening:
- Promotion of treaties that defend public morality.
- Protection and respect for patriotic symbols.
- Fostering of patriotism and nationalist sentiment.
Finally, the secretary general of Dominicanos Primero questioned the tendency to stigmatize concepts such as nationalism and patriotism. In his view, these elements should not be seen negatively, but rather as essential tools to consolidate sovereignty and pride in Dominican identity in the face of global dynamics.
