00:00As you know, both the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army visit

00:22the border area with the aim of disarming the troops, to cross the border and to ensure

00:29that everything moves normally on the border line.

00:33Today is no exception, we have made a tour that has started in Pedernales and that ends

00:39in Dajabón.

00:41Commander, we saw that you mentioned that due to the situation of the neighboring country

00:48of Haiti, the vigilance had been strengthened and that the troops from here, with the readiness,

00:57are all maintaining this path.

01:00Yes, look, you know that the strengthening of the border is permanent.

01:09We do not rest, every time we come to the border, to monitor the conditions in which

01:14they are, to observe the conditions in which the positions are, the border crossings,

01:19to see the need that the soldiers have, to see if there is any event that deserves special

01:25attention, if there is any fragility.

01:27It is a constant.

01:29The border, as I have said on other occasions, the border is calm.

01:36Logically, you know that we have a country that has a very particular security situation.

01:42I would say that in the context of the situation of insecurity that the neighboring country

01:47is experiencing, to the armed forces of the Dominican Republic, what we have to do is

01:51congratulate them, because at this moment there has been no incident that the Dominicans

01:57have to regret.

01:59Obviously, at all borders, at all borders, at some point, an event occurs.

02:05That is typical of the borders.

02:09That is typical of the borders.

02:11It is impossible that at a border no event occurs.

02:15There is a dynamic, and above all, taking into account the situation of our neighboring

02:21country.

02:29Is there any type of strategy or reinforcement?

02:32If you mean robberies.

02:33Robbery of cattle.

02:34Yes, look, that is a recurring theme here, and in the same way that you have seen

02:39complaints that they have stolen cattle.

02:42For example, that last of the miches was recovered by members of the army.

02:46Remember.

02:47It is a constant.

02:48I would not like to get into the particularity of the way that the cattle ranchers here

02:53manage that scenario, but it is a constant.

02:56What you can have is the certainty, the certainty that we are always aware of the

03:01situation at the border, and that just as there have been complaints that there have been

03:07cattle thefts, there have also been many cattle ranchers and many people who have

03:12thanked the army for having recovered their cattle.

03:15How many Haitians have been arrested in the Dominican territory?

03:18Well, I do not know, and I can talk to the authorities about that.

03:21I do not know the first gang member recognized by Haitian authorities who has been arrested

03:27in the Dominican territory.

03:28I do not know him.

03:29Now, often, often, many times, some authorities, and I do not want to go into details,

03:37are used to saying that they have arrested a gang member, that they have arrested ...

03:42But I do not know the first gang member recognized by Haitian authorities who has

03:46been arrested in the Dominican territory.

03:49Comandante, the support of the public military to the army in terms of what you have to read

03:53in the chapter, I do not know what you have read.

03:57An absolute support, an absolute support.

04:00And you will have witnessed the number of people who have been presented to the public

04:06ministry for undocumented trafficking.

04:08We have already exceeded 200.

04:10We must have 220 or 130 people arrested and presented to the public ministry.

04:16And we have had a total support from the public ministry.

04:19We are working with migration and with other authorities in the management of the issues

04:24that have to do with irregular migration to the Dominican territory.

04:28But I think you have witnessed that there has been a constant ... a constant ...

04:38action, a constant action in that sense.

04:41In conjunction with migration and in conjunction with all the security mechanisms

04:45bet on the borderline.

04:47Understand the CFRON, understand the DNI, J2.

04:50All the bodies that have participation in what are the border issues are involved

04:56in that fight.

04:57Do you remember?

05:01Which are arrested?

05:04Well.

05:06Generalmente y tristemente son dominicanos los que se dedican al tráfico de indocumentados.

05:12Ha habido casos de nacionales haitianos también, pero tristemente son ciudadanos dominicanos

05:17los que se dedican a esa práctica en su mayoría.
