They reject Roberto Fulcar’s tweet where he presents dogs called Hnas. Mirabal. The Minister of Education of the Dominican Republic, Roberto Fulcar, received this Wednesday the rejection of the users of the Twitter social network after publishing a photo with the president of the Republic, Louis Abinaderin which he is seen holding a dog on his lap that he identifies as “Minerva” indicating that she seeks to be adopted along with her sisters Homeland and Maria Teresa.
The community turned against her when they understood that she made a similarity of the dogs with the Mirabal sisters, considered as heroines who transcended the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina. However, by generating the negative reaction, Minister Fulcar deleted the publication from the official account. (@RobertoFulcar)
“The President curiously observes how affectionate Minerva is,” Fulcar wrote in his tweet, which was later deleted by the official.

It is recalled that the names of the Mirabal sisters became a worldwide emblem of the fight against violence against women, considering them martyrs of the cause.
Despite deleting the post minutes after it was uploaded to his account, Internet users had retweeted and shared the image of the post that soon went viral.
The uncomfortable moment occurred while President Luis Abinader made the announcement of the conversion of 79 high schools to polytechnics on Wednesday night.
