Santo Domingo – The lawyer Julia Muñiz Suberví requested this Tuesday to the National Congress that one of the new stations of line 2C of the Santo Domingo Metro bear the name of Doña Zaida Ginebra vda. Lovatón for her contributions to Dominican society.
He explained that the crisis of values that the Dominican Republic is experiencing today is due, to some extent, to the absence of people with the characteristics of the former president of the National Commission for Public Shows.
For this initiative, it is sought to collect at least 100,000 signatures through the platform www.change.org/EstacionZaida.
“In these 17 years that I have been in the educational field, I have seen the transformation of society take place without guidance, direction, or direction. The natural and necessary changes of society go without horizon, so I feel that we need Doña Zaida Ginebra, widow Lovatón, and I am not referring, perhaps to her physical presence, I am referring to her essence, her imprint, her commitment and work ” , assured the lawyer Julia Muñíz Suberví.
In addition, they remember her participation during the fighting in the April 1965 revolution, where she participated as a citizen committed to the defense of national sovereignty and the country’s democratic values.
