The recent call made by the National Commission for Human Rights to the director of the National Police, Major General Ernesto Rodr\u00edguez Garc\u00eda, with the aim of curbing deaths during police operations, has sparked an intense debate in the National Congress. Various legislators have expressed their positions on the balance between citizen security and respect for legal regulations.<\/p>\n\n
The deputy of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Ignacio Aracena, was emphatic in pointing out that the human rights organization should reflect on its current role regarding the problem of insecurity affecting the country. According to Aracena, the State’s priority must be to guarantee the tranquility of the population through support for security strategies.<\/p>\n\n
Today, Dominican society must support all the actions being taken to guarantee social tranquility. The safety of Dominicans is above all else.<\/p>Ignacio Aracena, PRM Deputy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Due process and Rule of Law<\/h2>\n\n
For his part, legislator Charlie Mariotti Jr., representative of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), underscored the importance of the law enforcement institution prioritizing crime prevention. Although he acknowledged the social outrage caused by certain criminal acts, he insisted that police actions must strictly adhere to the Rule of Law.<\/p>\n\n
Mariotti Jr. supported the request to investigate cases of deaths during police interventions, even validating that international bodies be notified to ensure the transparency of the processes.<\/p>\n\n
The role of judicial bodies<\/h2>\n\n
Carlos de P\u00e9rez, a deputy for the Fuerza del Pueblo party, emphasized that the primary function of agents should be the apprehension of suspects so that it is the Public Prosecutor’s Office that presents the charges and the Judiciary that hands down the corresponding sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
- The police must apprehend, the Public Prosecutor’s Office must charge, and the Judiciary must convict.<\/li>\n
- The legitimate right of self-defense for officers is recognized when their physical integrity is under direct threat.<\/li>\n
- There is concern regarding the risk of innocent people being affected during high-risk operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
The debate remains in the focus of public opinion, especially given the recently reported figures on deaths in alleged confrontations, a topic that continues under analysis and scrutiny by various sectors of national life on Alofoke Deportes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
