Politicians question sentence in Felix Bautista case and FALPO calls to fight

SANTO DOMINGO. Politicians and opposition parties are questioning the decision for dismissal issued by the judge of Special Instruction, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, which favored Senator Felix Bautista, who was facing charges of money laundering and corruption.

Statements against the decision were presented by presidential hopefuls of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Hipolito Mejia and Luis Abinader, as well as also by the Dominican Popular Movement (MPD) and the Broad Front of Popular Struggle (FALPO).

According to former president Mejia, the sentence is a demonstration that the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) has absolute control of power, which it uses only to impose impunity on the frauds carried out by its officials, saying "in order to continue enriching itself, in addition to the fact that it does not fear the people."

He said that sooner or later, or more sooner than later, the people, in some way, will make themselves respected by the PLD, since they will no longer support such mockery and unscrupulousness.

For his part, Abinader, who is also a presidential hopeful of the PRM, considered that the system of justice has become a paradise for corruption and impunity.

He said that the top leadership of the PLD has agreed that justice be maintained as a dependent body of the party bureaucracy, and at the service of those who would benefit from the administrative corruption.

In the meantime the Dominican Popular Movement (MPD), through its national spokesman Higinio Baez, warned that without justice there is no country, so that they called on the people to express their indignation against the impunity, immorality and dishonesty.

And Victor Romano, the Secretary of FALPO, announced that "our people will not remain with their arms crossed in the face of such disgusting perversity. We are coordinating and calling on the revolutionary and progressive forces, and on all the honest persons and sectors to repudiate these venal and corrupt decisions of impunity."

Other decisions

The political leaders also spoke out against the decision that favored the mayor of San Francisco de Macoris, Felix Rodriguez, accused of fraud and who also obtained a dismissal of the charges issued by the judge of Instruction of the Province of Santo Domingo, Victor Mejia Lebron.

According to the politicians, this case is the same as that of Senator Bautista where they should be sent to stand trial in order to determine whether or not they incurred in the incidents of the accusations made against them through the Justice Department.
