Luis Abinader warns that officials must resign.
President Luis Abinader warned this Wednesday that public officials seeking elective office must resign their positions, noting that political campaigning is not permitted within the public administration .
"I am a tolerant and democratic president, but everything has a limit ," he expressed on his X account.
"We will continue to govern for the people, and that's why I'm telling all the pre-candidates and their coordinators: campaigning for officials is not permitted. If they want to campaign, they must resign."
In support of the presidential call, the Minister of Tourism , David Collado , reacted four minutes after the publication.
He reaffirmed that officials must refrain from proselytizing . "We will focus on our responsibilities and refrain from public proselytizing ," he said.
"As we have stated publicly and in practice , we are focused on our national and international agenda to continue positioning the Dominican Republic as a leader in the region and adding achievements and initiatives for the benefit of all," he added.
Political leader Guido Gómez Mazara joined the discussion, warning in a public letter about the risks facing the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) if it does not direct its internal processes within the framework of institutionality and respect for legal deadlines.
In a letter prior to Abinader's statements, addressed to PRM President Ignacio Paliza, Guido warned about anticipated proselytism .
"Disrespect for the rules paves the way for improvisation, internal anarchy, and a loss of credibility that could cost the PRM its moral foundation with the electorate," Gómez Mazara stated, without directly referring to any candidate.
