Part 1:

The beach privitizatioin is just one new outrage. Today's DR1:

Constitutional changes "an embarrassment"
Representatives from civic and business groups have joined together in their condemnation of the decisions taken by the National Revisory Assembly during the second reading of the new Constitution, because the legislators have "cut off" several individual and collective rights, implying a step backwards from the rule of law. Citizen watchdog group Citizen Participation, along with the Herrera Industrial Association, the Federation of Industrial Associations, the Commission for the Reform and Modernization of Justice, the Citizens Forum and the Justice and Transparency Foundation all shared this opinion. Citizen Participation describes the new Constitution as "illegitimate" because it eliminated ten existing citizen rights set out in the current Constitution.

Part 2

The civic group said the illegitimacy is clearly demonstrated with the elimination of rights such as the right to have an honest and transparent public administration, "which reveals the perverse intent behind this decision. Behind the elimination of collective rights such as the adequate working of the market forces, and fair competition, the interest and rights of the consumer and of those who use public goods and services, the enjoyment of the assets in the public domain such as beaches and rivers among others, are hiding shameful, unspeakable intentions."

Take that Ricky , oh I meant LIE-onel Fernandez, oh you guys get me so confused!

I have written about the new constitution in another article and it is ludicrous that such an important document should be the result of trade offs between two political parties and that the contents are being initiated and carried through by politicians ,,There must be few places in the world , even Venezuela, where this situation could occur, I would have preferred to see an outstanding bench of jurists doing this work but surely a referendum is essential on many issues .

The politicians have no reason to listen to us. They will continue to abuse us in whatever way is in THEIR best interests. We have proven ourselves to be nothing other than sheep. In this case we are being led to the slaughter.

Ricky get off my beach!

i wish i was in DR to get a couple of tires and gasoline,,,,STRIKE

this is just to keep the public's minds away from the other problems. gives the gov time to correct some mistakes in other areas. its the oldest trick

PC denuncia que nueva constitución es ilegitima

"Participación Ciudadana recordó que la legitimidad es la justificación ética en el ejercicio del poder, tal como le describe Rodrigo Borjas en su Enciclopedia de la Política, y no cabe duda de que tanto los asambleístas como sus líderes políticos, el presidente Leonel Fernández y Miguel Vargas, han ejercido sus facultades en perjuicio de los mejores intereses de la ciudadanía, restándole legitimidad a la nueva Constitución.

La suerte de esta Constitución ilegítima no será otra que su precaria e insostenible permanencia en el tiempo, y así como la Constitución del año 1963 se llama con orgullo la Constitución de Bosch, la nueva Constitución nacida del acuerdo de dos líderes que provienen de partidos creados por el presidente Bosch, será llamada con desprecio como la Constitución de Leonel y Miguel, según el Movimiento Cívico."

Since almost nobody cares about our freedoms being assaulted by the greedy, lying pos politicians, the Clave poll must have been taken using the 200 people here that can read.

I like the Metro- I think, maybe but as yet I do not or have yet seen or talked to anyone who has seen it ,much less rode on it. I do know persons who have Died because of a lack of Medicine!

I think this electoral chief must be in another country because there are many beaches which guests of a hotel can only use ,,Hamaca at Boca Chica .all the hotel beaches at Bayahibe and at Bavaro ..if a person even strays into the hotel zone ,regardless of colour ,they are requested to leave immediately , sometimes politely and sometimes not ..
maybe a right in theory but definitely not in practice

That's the kind of reaction you must have and not going after my people and my country with your nasty comments. If you don't fight this thing, you country could become the next South Africa during Apartheid time.

Its time we tell that creep lionel fernandez ,we want are beaches back , let impeached that bum

Ricardolito your constitution says the beaches all of them belong to you and all other Dominicans' but law only works when people do. If you allow people to take what is yours they will continue until stopped. Simple as that.

Your elected officals have made you a Hatian on your own beaches.
