Urban security in danger
Senator Rogelio Genao considered that the National Police deserves recognition and support from the National Congress and society for their work against crime, drug trafficking and contraband in the Dominican Republic. The legislator also urged the Judicial Power to apply the new Penal Code with rigor, especially the provisions related to the accumulation of penalties, recidivism and new criminal typifications, considering that sanctions should contribute to reducing crime and preventing new crimes.
Security policy
Genao supported the security policy driven by the Executive Power and the President of the Republic, highlighting the coordination between government authorities, military bodies and the National Congress to face criminal activities and prevent the Dominican territory from being used as a route for drug trafficking to the United States and Europe.
Application of the Penal Code
Senator insisted that crimes affecting family security require proportional and effective responses from authorities, while calling on his congressional colleagues to support initiatives aimed at recovering tranquility in the country. In that context, he noted that insecurity generates human and economic consequences for the population, especially for families concerned about the integrity of their children and for merchants, ranchers, agribusinessmen and professionals who face risks to their property and lives.
Consequences of insecurity
Genao stated that the effective application of the new Penal Code would allow sentences to reflect provisions on penalty accumulation and recidivism, with the purpose of discouraging the commission of crimes and contributing to the reduction of crime indices.
Incident in Elías Piña
Referring to the recent incident in Elías Piña, in which the deputy Millys Martínez was involved, Genao stated that there is no general situation within security bodies and qualified the event as an isolated case that, according to him, has already been corrected.
Call for coordination
Finally, he reiterated his call to strengthen coordination between state institutions to face crime, ensure urban security and preserve social peace, which he defined as one of the most valuable goods for the Dominican population.
