SANTO DOMINGO.- The president of the Social Christian Reformist Party (PRSC), Federico Antún Batlle (Quique), declared that this organization continues to fight to achieve a good representation of senators, deputies, mayors and councilors in the 2024 elections.
He maintained that the PRSC will make “smart alliances” with a view to reaching spaces of power from the upcoming elections.
“All the parties are looking for alliances, because that is part of the electoral system that has been established in the country, because it must be clear that no one wins the elections alone,” he said.
In this sense, Quique Antún pointed out that the Reformist Party “will have to make intelligent alliances to manage to occupy spaces of power”
“Reformism will continue to fight for some of its leaders to be senators, representatives, mayors and councilors. We are going to make an effort to see what we can achieve in those upcoming elections, ”he said.
He stressed that his personal struggle is for reformism to survive “and continue beating and preaching the essential values of this society, such as the defense of sovereignty and the environment and maintaining a firm position against external indebtedness.”
He also said that this political organization has to fight hard from now until 2024, “preaching the principles and values and throwing those seeds that one day will take root in society.”
“The country is going to return to those values, the world is going to ‘reset’ at some point. This cannot continue on the path it is going, with the loss of values, mainly in the young, ”she added.
Call for unity from all sectors
The president of the PRSC raised the unity of all sectors of Dominican society “with a view to drawing up a whole policy to make people react and empower themselves in the face of the serious immigration problem that we have with Haiti.”
“All Dominicans must be motivated to actively participate in this problem, because otherwise here, sadly, a merger could occur, promoted by the great powers that have not wanted to help solve the serious problems facing the neighbor. country,” he added.
Antún Batlle stated that the government is obliged to draw up a plan to stop this situation, “with the unity of all the political and social forces of the country.”
He criticized what he called the “double standards” of government officials, who on the one hand say they defend sovereignty “and on the other do the opposite, contradicting the responsible position that President Luis Abinader has been assuming regarding illegal Haitian migration and the threat that this situation represents for the Dominican Republic”.
“The Head of State gives clear notations that the country cannot bear the Haitian problem, but government officials have another contrary agenda, and that cannot be,” he said.
Finally, he said that as Social Christians, they do not have xenophobia against Haitians or any other immigrants, “but things must be done in an organized manner, respecting the norms and laws of the country.”
