14. Cardinal against foreign interference
Cardinal Nicolas Lopez Rodriguez has stated that
several "European and North American" powers are
trying to "abusively" impose unacceptable conditions
on the DR when it comes to Haitian immigration,
according to a report by El Caribe. The prelate admits
however, that there is no "authentic" migratory policy
in the country with regards to the neighboring nation.
He appealed to the international community to take on
responsibility for Haiti's situation instead of
leaving the DR to cope alone. "We don't have the
capacity to deal with Haiti's problems. There is no
health or education there. It is a disorganized
country and that is the reason why an international
response is required" said the leader of the Catholic
Church.
