00:00Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the News Update,
00:03greeting again those who follow us from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
00:08here in the Dominican Republic, our followers on social media,
00:11and our faithful television viewers of Channel 11.
00:14And definitely, the news is in Friuza's Hole community in the town of Bávaro, Verón, Punta Cana,
00:20who claimed that the presence of Haitians in that demarcation has gone out of control,
00:25indicating that they have seized all the jobs in the area.
00:29Precisely, our partner, Gregory González, is here about the march scheduled for this Sunday,
00:35claiming the high presence of foreigners.
00:38Good afternoon, Gregory. Go ahead and tell us.
00:44Evelyn, thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon.
00:47Here we continue to give special coverage for this demonstration or march
00:53that will be taking place this Sunday, the 30th.
00:56In that order, I will tell you and the television viewers that the people we spoke to in the first instance
01:04pointed out that they understand that the Haitian citizens in this community
01:10have everything occupied, affecting them to be able to work.
01:14That is, they keep all the areas of work occupied.
01:17They added that they are not willing to continue to bear this situation,
01:22pointing out that they will join the march organized by the old Dominican order
01:26in the face of the predominance of foreigners.
01:29Next Sunday, the 30th, as I already pointed out, this will be a march in this community.
01:35The trigger would have been the kidnapping of a Dominican girl in a high school,
01:41an act allegedly committed by a Haitian who would have taken her to this locality.
01:47We are Haitians. We don't want war, we don't want to fight anyone,
01:55but we want a peaceful march so that people can understand that FIUSA is Dominican,
02:01that Bávaro is Dominican, that the Dominican Republic is Dominican.
02:05It is quite dangerous because it is populated by Haitians.
02:1090% of the citizens who come here are Haitians, all undocumented.
02:15And apart from that, the justice system corrupts them.
02:18They take money, they grab it, they release it.
02:20Because the government must be able to take care of the matter.
02:23Because we have a great flow of undocumented people.
02:26And honestly, that affects the Dominican, looking at it from a point of view.
02:33Because you go to the Chinese store,
02:36all 90% or 95% of the employees are Haitians, undocumented.
02:40Well, the security here is not very good.
02:44There should be more security.
02:48Another thing, they make a mess, and they make their mess party,
02:52and we can't have a march here in Bávaro.
02:54Why not? We are Dominican.
03:05The place is flowing as usual in hundreds of different businesses,
03:10where you can observe a peaceful coexistence between Dominican and Haitian citizens.
03:14However, opinions are divided among some interviewees,
03:18who claim, as those who already pointed out,
03:21that this community is controlled by foreigners from Haiti,
03:25who commit all kinds of atrocities.
03:27While other community members and businessmen
03:31claim that this place is one of the safest in the country,
03:34while its inhabitants are mostly peaceful.
03:40The safest place in the Dominican Republic is the Ollo de Friusa.
03:44I exhort them to come and walk here with our community.
03:48We have a laborious community.
03:50Here, what we have is a lot of scarcity,
03:54which is due to the lack of state work,
03:58which we don't have any.
04:00But the security here is 1A.
04:04And how is it possible that they say that the police cannot enter the Ollo de Friusa?
04:09But in the Ollo de Friusa, we have two blocks.
04:12Three with the MET.
04:14Well, three blocks.
04:16One with the MET, one with the police, and one with the police.
04:19The absolute control here of the security is held by the national police.
04:28And well, it is expected that this march,
04:30which, as we have already repeated,
04:32will be carried out this Sunday the 30th,
04:35it is expected that it will be very crowded,
04:38since it has been said that the organization that will carry it out
04:42has more than 30,000 members.
04:44With this information, I say goodbye from Friusa, Punta Cana.
04:48Good afternoon, Evelyn.
04:50Good afternoon to you, Gregory.
04:52Thank you for your complete report.
04:54It should be remembered that this information is in process.
04:56And of course, in Telenoticias, we are following it very closely.
05:00Meanwhile, legislators are worried about the decision of the Haitian authorities
05:04to prohibit from April 7
05:06the importation of foreign goods
05:08that arrive from the terrestrial border
05:10with the Dominican Republic.
05:12Eliana Cuevas tells us more.
05:16This new prohibition by the Haitian authorities
05:18worries the legislators
05:20who ask the Dominican authorities
05:22to look for new markets
05:24for the products.
05:26And start looking for another market
05:28to place that merchandise
05:30and forget about the flat issue.
05:32Others, like the President of the Agriculture Commission
05:34of the House of Representatives,
05:36understand that this decision
05:38of the second commercial partner
05:40of the Dominican Republic
05:42will impact the Dominican producers.
05:44The authorities have to respond
05:46to those farmers
05:48who have their warehouses
05:50full of products
05:52and the first market is Haiti.
05:54Some legislators consider
05:56that these Haitian restrictions
05:58will add misery
06:00and the departure of thousands of Haitians
06:02through the border.
06:04If I take away your food
06:06and you are in your house
06:08and you are going to die in your house
06:10you are going to look for your food
06:12wherever you are.
06:14The measure, communicated by a circular
06:16with a date of Tuesday, March 25,
06:18establishes that all imports
06:20to Haiti
06:22must arrive only by sea.
06:24For Telenoticias,
06:26Eliana Cuevas.
06:28And by the way,
06:30this Thursday, the border market
06:32of Carrizal in the province of Elías Piña
06:34was carried out normally
06:36despite the communication
06:38that circulates from the Haitian authorities
06:40with the closure of its border with the Dominican Republic.
06:42Carlos de los Santos is live
06:44and does not expand.
06:46Good afternoon, Carlos.
06:48In this border province
06:50of Elías Piña, the binational market
06:52develops without any setback.
06:54However, some consultants
06:56understand that if Haiti
06:58prohibits the entry of goods
07:00from the Dominican Republic
07:02for these citizens,
07:04the situation will be very complex.
07:06There are four there,
07:08but there is no food.
07:10There are four,
07:12there are many millionaires there,
07:14but the consumption of food
07:16is hard.
07:18I know that you are not going
07:20to let us die.
07:22So,
07:24what the bosses do to you.
07:26So,
07:28in these conditions
07:30that you cannot allow
07:32you to pass an illegal merchandise,
07:34we cannot receive it either.
07:36Now,
07:38I'm going with you,
07:40you know that,
07:42I'm going with you.
07:44The information has circulated
07:46that the authorities of that country
07:48have prohibited the entry of foreign goods
07:50that arrive via the Dominican Republic.
07:52To that extent,
07:54the truck drivers assure
07:56that they will have a millionaire loss.
07:58No, no, it's that they send
08:00in their country,
08:02and we here,
08:04well, they stay more than here.
08:06Well, it affects us
08:08because we sell to them,
08:10but if they close,
08:12what can we do?
08:14They are there and we are here.
08:16A concern,
08:18we are the only ones
08:20who are here.
08:42Thank you very much, Carlos
08:44de los Santos.
08:46We are very aware
08:48and we follow this information.
08:50Precisely, Enelio Domínguez
08:52took charge of the issue
08:54and this is his report.
08:56This murdered woman was identified
08:58as María Esther Moya, 28 years old,
09:00who lost her life
09:02by the shots that her ex-partner
09:04named Gregory Muñoz,
09:06who was two months apart
09:08from said woman
09:10at the time that he himself
09:12had decided to separate.
09:14But when he found out
09:16about their relationship,
09:18he shot the woman
09:20who had procreated two girls.
09:22Esther Moya,
09:24the mother of the victim,
09:26indicated that her daughter
09:28was constantly mistreated
09:30by her ex-partner,
09:32to the point that she went
09:34with another woman,
09:36leaving her with three children
09:38alone in the house.
09:40That man, they had left
09:42and they had many,
09:44many money,
09:46and that he supposedly went
09:48with another woman
09:50and then he wanted her
09:52to return with her.
09:54This happened on Thursday morning
09:56when the victim, María Esther,
09:58went to her work area
10:00where she sold coffee with milk
10:02near her residence.
10:04She was a good woman,
10:06a good person.
10:08She always took the child to school.
10:10I told her,
10:12take care of my daughter
10:14because that man could do anything
10:16with her money that night
10:18and the mother had to come to the city
10:20and I told her not to leave
10:22and that man could do anything with you.
10:24From Santiago for Telenoticias,
10:26Onelio Domínguez.
10:28In other information,
10:30a group of car washers in La Vega
10:32protested in front of the regional
10:34direction of the National Police
10:36because a man was arrested
10:38and he did not commit the crime.
11:09That is negative.
11:11That is not the person who is being accused?
11:13No.
11:15The man who did the robbery
11:17is a thief.
11:19He is turning fire, gentlemen.
11:23They were in the headquarters of the local
11:25of the National Police to demand
11:27that they look for the real person
11:29who allegedly committed the robbery.
11:31They asked the police officers to let them work
11:33and we thank Oscar Junior Tavares
11:35for sharing this information
11:37for the entire audience
11:39of Telenoticias.
11:41And the third court
11:43of the National District
11:45started this Thursday the background trial
11:47of the Alberto Ezequiel Estrella Arias
11:49and Jorge Luis Estrella Arias
11:51and the cousin of these would be
11:53Emmanuel Segura Arias,
11:55who are accused of perpetrating the robbery
11:57to the Popular Bank on June 3, 2024.
11:59Paola Báez is with us.
12:01In this Thursday's hearing,
12:03the Public Ministry read
12:05in front of the judges
12:07the accusation in which the facts allegedly
12:09committed by those involved are reported
12:11along with two other people
12:13who were killed
12:15when confronted with police patrols.
12:17The believing lawyers
12:19adhered to the accusation
12:21and the evidence presented by the persecutor
12:23and gave a compensation
12:25of 50 million pesos
12:27for the Popular Bank
12:29of which 1,685,723 pesos
12:31were withdrawn.
12:35The accusation
12:37presented by the Public Ministry
12:39will be proven
12:41with the evidence that will be produced in this hearing.
12:43We don't know why, what was the serious harm
12:45that the Popular Bank understands
12:47that it has caused.
12:49And the Popular Bank that prepares,
12:51because we are going to sue for still having
12:53the account blocked,
12:55we as lawyers of Alberto Ezequiel Estrella Arias
12:57and Jorge Luis Estrella Arias.
12:59The representative of the involved
13:01Waldo Paulino said that for the moment
13:03the factual theory of defense
13:05of Jorge Luis Estrella Arias
13:07will be reserved.
13:09However, when referring to his brother Alberto Ezequiel
13:11Estrella Arias, he affirmed that
13:13he will make a negative defense
13:15to refute the evidence and accusations
13:17presented against his client.
13:19The evidence is not relevant
13:21and does not compete
13:23with what is
13:25being established against
13:27that citizen.
13:29The judges postponed the hearing
13:31until April 4 to hear
13:33the first 15 witnesses of the 40
13:35who will be presented before the court
13:37and a driving order was dictated
13:39for those who were cited
13:41and did not attend.
13:43For Telenoticias, Paola Baez.
14:02The head of the Central Electoral Board
14:04indicated that although
14:06that body submits to the initiative
14:08to regulate independent
14:10candidacies, it is the
14:12congressmen who are
14:14entitled to legislate.
14:16Remembering that in any case,
14:18the board is always respectful of the Constitution
14:20and the laws, and who
14:22has the power to
14:24approve them is
14:26the National Congress.
14:28Jaques did not want to advance the details
14:30of the content of the initiative.
14:32These are issues that must
14:34already be debated in the
14:36National Congress.
14:38The president of the electoral body
14:40spoke at his arrival at the Senate
14:42where he was invited to talk
14:44about the details of the new
14:46identity and electoral
14:48certificate in which he affirmed
14:50that the population will be delivered
14:52for free.
14:54We were invited by the Senate
14:56to present as a plenary
14:58meeting of the Central Electoral Board
15:00the project of the new
15:02identity and electoral
15:04certificate.
15:06Roman Jaques explained to the senators
15:08the details of the new
15:10identity document, where he pointed out
15:12that the budget for this
15:14certificate is in operating
15:16expenses and adjudication
15:18around 6 billion pesos.
15:20For Telenoticias,
15:22Eliana Cuevas.
15:24Continuing with other information,
15:26the new vehicle retention center
15:28located in the community of
15:30Pedregal, Pedro Brant, is not yet
15:32open to the public.
15:34This will replace the so-called
15:36Canódromo El Coco of Monumental Avenue.
15:38Ana Mañón is live
15:40from the new retention center
15:42and tells us that this
15:44work is just a little bit away and
15:46will be inaugurated very soon.
15:48Good afternoon, Ana.
15:50We are in the community
15:52of Pedregal,
15:54in the municipality of Pedro Brant,
15:56where the
15:58vehicle retention center
16:00or new
16:02Canódromo
16:04will be in operation
16:06in the next few months.
16:08According to information,
16:10the vehicle retention center
16:12that will replace
16:14Canódromo El Coco
16:16will be in operation
16:18in the next few months
16:20when the training process
16:22will begin, as assured
16:24by the Ministry of Housing and
16:26Buildings through a communication.
16:28For its part, the National Institute of
16:30Transit and Land Transport, INTRAN,
16:32and the General Directorate of
16:34Transit Security, DIGESET,
16:36are responsible
16:38for the training of the staff.
16:40This training is essential
16:42since the vehicle retention center
16:44will work with a new
16:46culture of attention to the citizen,
16:48with more efficient processes
16:50thanks to the integration
16:52of technological systems,
16:54and the vehicle auction
16:56processes will be executed
16:58as stipulated by the law.
17:00As it is not yet
17:02in operation,
17:04we had to leave
17:06the place because
17:08we were told that we had to have
17:10a permit to access
17:12and take pictures.
17:14This is all we have so far
17:16from the community
17:18of Pedregal, here in Pedro Brán,
17:20just outside
17:22the new canoe
17:24or vehicle retention center
17:26that will replace the old one.
17:28This is all we have.

18:58We close with news
19:00of the 39 dams in the country.
19:0233 were built during the
19:04governments of Joaquin Balaguer.
19:06This is what the president of the

19:10said during a talk
19:12at the cattle fair about
19:14the national orography, the innocuity
19:16of food and other issues linked
