00:00Hello, how are you? Good afternoon to you all.
00:02This is Cissé Melgen, welcome to Vespertina's newscast.
00:05Today is Friday, February 28th, 2025, as always,
00:09bringing you the latest news.
00:11To all of you who follow us here in the American Republic,
00:13in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and through social media,
00:15thank you all for joining us and for your loyalty.
00:18Let's immediately begin today's content.
00:20President Luis Abinader,
00:23who declares, the decree that President Luis Abinader declares,
00:27that he declares terrorists to the criminal gangs of Haiti,
00:29to his members, he is described by jurists as an unconstitutional measure
00:35due to the principle of territoriality in criminal matters.
00:38Roberto Brito with the position of the law professionals.
00:42Those who belong to these gangs,
00:45who enter Dominican territory,
00:48will be persecuted, imprisoned, and judged
00:51under the anti-terrorist laws of our country.
00:54The law professionals explained that the Dominican laws
00:58do not punish for the crime of transnational terrorism,
01:02unless the infraction is planned in the country.
01:05In this order, lawyer José Alfredo Ricit
01:07maintains that this measure would only be applicable
01:09if the terrorist act is planned in the Dominican Republic
01:12and executed in Haiti or in any other country.
01:15Anyone who is in Dominican territory
01:18and commits an infraction in Dominican territory
01:21is subject to the territoriality of the criminal laws.
01:24And as such, it is possible.
01:26While the jurists Geraldino Zavala, Zavala and Miguel Medina
01:29consider that the mandatory was not properly advised
01:32before signing the decree,
01:34since in the principle of territoriality,
01:36the correct thing would be that in the case
01:38that a member of a criminal gang
01:40has been detained on Dominican soil,
01:42his extradition to the country is managed,
01:45in this case Haiti, in collaboration with the Castillería
01:48and under the decision of a judge of the Supreme Court of Justice.
01:53A citizen X who violates the laws of his country,
01:57there is no imputability to judge him here.
02:15The president of the College of Lawyers,
02:17Trajano Vidal Potentini,
02:19a specialist in constitutional issues,
02:21was more emphatic in pointing out
02:23that the decree lacks legal basis
02:25and will not have practical effects,
02:27since no judge can judge a person
02:29under Dominican laws
02:31if the crime of transnational terrorism
02:34was committed in his country of origin.
02:36That this decree becomes unconstitutional.
02:39Why? Because it violates the principle of legality.
02:43Any situation to aggravate the procedural situation
02:47of a person must be through a law,
02:50it must be the Congress that approves that same decree.
02:54Despite these criticisms,
02:56President Abinader, in his account submission,
02:58warned members of the criminal gangs
03:00of Haiti that they should attend
03:02the Dominican Republic,
03:04because they will be arrested and judged as terrorists.
03:07For Telenoticias, Roberto Brito.
03:10The Constitutionalist Military Foundation
03:13supports President Luis Abinader's indulgence
03:15in favor of at least 20 military men
03:17who were subject to disciplinary sanctions
03:19for different offenses,
03:21some of them serious.
03:23Dominican prisons are not conduct repairers.
03:28On the contrary,
03:30what we have observed is that
03:32the one who is arrested is more of a criminal
03:34than the one who entered.
03:36So we also need everyone to ventilate
03:39and see that this prison law
03:44must be reviewed
03:46and the good things it has,
03:48must be applied.
03:50Fortunato coincided with the mandatory
03:53Luis Abinader to qualify Haitian gangs
03:55as terrorists.
03:57What else has stagnated the development
03:59of that nation?
04:01Let's talk about prices now.
04:03The 20% salary increase approved
04:05by the National Salary Council
04:08will not be enough to cost
04:10the price of the basic basket
04:12that is around $27,828
04:14in the quintile of people
04:16with less income,
04:18according to citizens consulted by this media.
04:20Paula Baez explains.
04:22Until January 2025,
04:24the Central Bank established
04:26$46,420.68,
04:30the price of the national basic basket,
04:33while the distribution
04:35in terms of income is as follows.
04:38$27,828 for the first quintile,
04:42$36,163 for the second,
04:45$42,660 for the third,
04:48$49,466 for the fourth,
04:52and $75,490 for the fifth quintile.
04:57This food cost is considered excessive
05:00for those who have less resources,
05:02so they understand that with the increase
05:04in salaries in large companies
05:06from $24,990 to $29,988,
05:11it will not be enough
05:13for the sustainable livelihood
05:15of their families.
05:17I don't think it can be compensated
05:19because that is a good percentage
05:21for the family character,
05:23that is not money.
05:25I think it should be increased
05:27by at least 30% or 40%
05:29so that they can live their lives
05:31because life is difficult.
05:33The farmers, the sellers,
05:36everyone, the businessmen,
05:38everyone, because they end up
05:40with one, they end up with one.
05:42They put it in a cell,
05:44and then they have to pay one more.
05:46As a tour of the new market
05:48of Villas Agrícolas,
05:50merchants agreed
05:52that the first-need products
05:54continue with high prices.
05:56The cheapest pound of rice
05:58is around $35,
06:00beans are sold
06:02for $35,
06:04half a gallon of oil
06:06costs $275,
06:08and a single liter of milk
06:10is worth $80.
06:12And although these items
06:14are the most elementary,
06:16the prices of the different meats
06:18are also high,
06:20costing between $70 and $75
06:22a pound of chicken,
06:24$170 for beef,
06:26and $120 for pork.
06:28It's a little expensive,
06:30you can't buy it,
06:32because there's no money.
06:34If I had seen money,
06:36it would have been fine,
06:38but there's no money on the street.
06:40It's expensive,
06:42we ourselves are not
06:44raising the price every day.
06:46The price is already
06:48to sell at $200,
06:50we are selling at $170,
06:52but we don't square the meat.
06:54To this list,
06:56by obligation,
06:58we have white yautia
07:00for $50,
07:02pipiota for $30,
07:04yuca for $15,
07:06and quinoa for $4.
07:08The condiments
07:10are also part of the items
07:12with which the dishes are prepared.
07:14A pound of garlic
07:16is sold for $45,
07:18and an onion for $180,
07:20while a kilo of salsa
07:22costs $165,
07:24and for $8,
07:26the ingredients are the same.
07:28The sausage is $70 per pound,
07:30this is $1.15 per pound,
07:32ham is $4.50 per pound,
07:34salami is $2.50 per pound,
07:36ham is $1.70 per pound.
07:38The products here
07:40are not the only
07:42products that are consumed
07:44daily in a family,
07:46so the household budget
07:48is much higher
07:50than the income.
07:52For Telenoticias, Paola Baez.
07:54We continue with more information
07:56here on Telenoticias.
07:58President Luis Abinadel's
08:00account transfer was filled
08:02with lies, according to citizens
08:04consulted by this media,
08:06despite the fact that the
08:08president highlighted advances
08:10in the economy,
08:12citizen security,
08:14education, and justice.
08:16Paola Baez explains.
08:24There are many issues
08:26addressed by the president
08:28in his management memorials
08:30that cause more concern
08:32to the population.
08:34However, the advances presented
08:36are not entirely true,
08:38according to some citizens.
08:54Everything is expensive.
08:56Look at the card.
08:58When will the card arrive?
09:00No one ever got the card.
09:02Even if there are those
09:04who understand that the government
09:06has met expectations,
09:08others consider that there
09:10are also some shadows.
09:12Because all governments
09:14say that they have improved,
09:16and when they evaluate
09:18international organizations
09:20and local governments,
09:22they say that they have improved
09:24too much.
09:26But many things
09:28that have been done,
09:30have been done well.
09:32Despite what the president
09:34said to the National Assembly
09:36that crime has also been reduced,
09:38citizens consider that
09:40citizen security is still
09:42a pending task for the authorities.
09:44For Telenoticias,
09:46Paola Baez.
09:48Well, let's change the subject
09:50of the second school court.
09:52The National District
09:54postponed the continuation
09:56of the Antipulpo case,
09:58in which it was expected
10:00that today the Public Ministry
10:02would present its conclusions
10:04around this stage of the process.
10:06The magistrates made the decision
10:08due to the defendant
10:10Victor Matias Encarnacion,
10:12who presented a medical license
10:14for a flu process.
10:16In the previous view,
10:18there were several conclusions
10:20in which the conclusions
10:22of the state's lawyers
10:24had been scheduled for March 10.
10:26Well, and following in the justice,
10:28the judge of the permanent
10:30office of Santo Domingo Oeste
10:32again postponed the measure of coercion
10:34against a woman and three men
10:36accused of integrating
10:38a transnational criminal organization
10:40that sexually exploited
10:42eight Colombian women.
10:44The hearing was rescheduled
10:46due to the fact
10:48that the judge of the permanent
10:50office of Santo Domingo
10:52Oeste
10:54wanted to present
10:56an anticipation of evidence
10:58and it will also be scheduled
11:00for the same Thursday.
11:03¿Hay un nuevo imputado en el caso?
11:05No.
11:07Le agregaron dos víctimas más.
11:09¿Cuáles son los nombres?
11:11No dieron los nombres en la fiscalía.
11:13Pero son colombianas también.
11:15La red fue desarticulada
11:17mediante la operación Venus
11:19y el Ministerio Público solicita
11:21prisión preventiva para los imputados
11:23Geraldine Torres Betancourt
11:25de Nacionalidad Colombiana,
11:27Jason Manuel Santana alias Nino,
11:29Daniel Castro Santos
11:31alias Daniel.
11:33Según la acusación, las mujeres
11:35llegaron al país con la promesa
11:37de trabajar como damas de compañía,
11:39pero fueron llevadas a un apartamento
11:41en Managuayabo, donde se les informó
11:43que debían pagar una deuda,
11:45sosteniendo relaciones sexuales
11:47con clientes a cambio de hasta
11:497,000 pesos, cuyo dinero
11:51era transferido a cuentas
11:53de los imputados.
11:55Bien, y una tragedia se registra
11:57en la zona este de Santiago.
11:59La víctima es la señora Marixa
12:01Mercedes Mieses de 73 años,
12:03mientras que su verdugo
12:05es Federico Antonio Zapata Mieses
12:07de 51. El suceso
12:09ocurrió en la calle El Rosal
12:11de la organización Los Álamos
12:13y Onelio Domínguez se encargó del tema
12:15y tiene todos los detalles.
12:17El hecho violento ocurrió la madrugada
12:19de este jueves cuando en medio de una discusión
12:21entre ambos se desencadenó
12:23el acto violento.
12:25De acuerdo con informaciones de los vecinos,
12:27el conflicto inició
12:29tras la negativa de Marixa
12:31entregarle una suma de dinero
12:33a su hijo.
