MARCO RUBIO - ULTRAFASCIST NOT WELCOME IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
A Statement by Community Organizations of the Dominican Republic
On February 6th, 2025, social, political, and community organizations in the Dominican Republic held a press conference and read a statement denouncing the presence of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in their country. Calling for 'U.S. Out of the Dominican Republic'. In addition to rejecting Rubio's presence, the groups call for Dominican President Luis Abinader to stop selling out the Dominican people and their lands to U.S. imperialism. They issued the following call to their fellow Dominicans: 'We call on the Dominican people to remain steadfast in defending their country’s independence, sovereignty and dignity, and to demand the implementation of integrationist policies with our sister countries within CELAC and ALBA-TCP. These alliances promote peace in Latin America and the Caribbean based on respect for each nation’s sovereignty and the well-being of the region's people. We demand that the United States end the arms trafficking that supports the paramilitary groups in the Republic of Haiti, end the destabilization of our neighbor, and respect Haiti’s sovereignty.'
