Don't leave me to fight alone!

[NewsWhore]

Senator Wilton Guerrero has appealed to the nation not to be left alone to fight against drug trafficking in the country. Speaking on Tuesday, he called for the support of honest citizens, political parties, the church, community organizations and civil society and said he has not found the authorities receptive to the fight against crime. He told Listin Diario that the members of the two commissions appointed to investigate the massacre of seven men in Paya, Bani had "crowed like a rooster, but laid eggs like hens." Following the massacre, the senator accused the provincial governor, the police commander and the district prosecutor of complicity with the drug dealers. The police commander and the district prosecutor have been transferred to other posts. Guerrero criticized the commissions' handling of the investigations and failure to identify who was truly responsible for the killings. He demanded that the commissions carry out more in depth investigations and name the masterminds behind the killings. "We need the support of the civic organizations of the Dominican people, we are immersed in a battle that we know goes beyond our capacity," said the senator in a press conference he called at his office at the Senate. He said, "Only with the massive support of popular organizations, of civic organizations and of honest and responsible citizens will we be able to fight this battle, that is more complicated by the heads who cover up for the criminals behind the scenes," he said, adding that the cover-up is apparent in the negligence of the authorities.
On the occasion of Mercedes Day, Catholic Church leaders called for divine intervention as the nation confronts drug trafficking, violence, political patronage, lack of morality and poverty. Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez was celebrating mass in La Vega.
