The Vice President of the Dominican Republic spoke to United Nations general secretary Ban Ki-moon in Guatemala yesterday and proposed a world pact against financial speculation on foodstuffs. The proposal is contained in a letter that President Leonel Fernandez sent through Vice President Rafael Alburquerque. According to Hoy newspaper, the proposal is also directed at the presidents of the Central American Republics, including Belize and Panama. Fernandez described the speculation as "An inhuman and cruel practice" and included oil prices in the proposal. Alburquerque asked Ban Ki-moon to intervene actively in this situation and fight for the eradication of financial speculation that is one of the major worries for many smaller countries.
Alburquerque was attending the Ordinary Meet of Heads of State and Government of the members of the Central American Integration System (SICA).
