Editorial | National Unity in the Face of the Haitian Crisis

Transcript

00:00Liston Diario presents the editorial from the director.

00:30The meeting between Luis Abinader, Leonel Fernández, Hipólito Mejía, and Danilo Medina transcends protocol.

00:40It is an act of institutional maturity that demonstrates that, when national interests are at stake,

00:46partisan differences must give way to patriotic duty.

00:50The creation of joint workspaces, the convening of the Economic and Social Council, CES,

00:56and the commitment to a unified foreign policy are necessary steps to confront a crisis that cannot be resolved with isolated measures.

01:05The Dominican Republic cannot and should not bear the burden of Haiti's collapse alone,

01:11but it must act firmly and unitedly to protect its borders, its economy, and its internal order.

01:17It is significant that this dialogue included support for the rigorous enforcement of immigration law,

01:23without neglecting respect for human rights, as well as the promotion of comprehensive development in the border of provinces.

01:31The international community must understand that without a real and sustainable solution in Haiti,

01:36with multilateral support, regional instability will continue to grow.

01:41Liston Diario values this exercise in unity and calls on all sectors to join this effort.

01:48When the country speaks with one voice, its demand is stronger.

01:52Let this be the first chapter of a state policy, not a mere episode of temporary harmony.

01:58History will judge you by what you do from this moment on.
