With the slogan "Sonia we're all together," dozens of people claiming to have been affected by a denaturalization policy assembled outside the new Supreme Court building in the Centro de los Heroes yesterday. With loudspeakers, placards and chants, they declared that they would not stop fighting for their rights as Dominicans of Haitian ancestry to be recognized and respected. Commenting on the protest by children of Haitians born in Dominican territory over the sentence of the Supreme Court that refused to grant them nationality, the president of the Senate, Reinaldo Pared Perez said that the high court decision was correct.
"This (decision) is correct, because the Constitution is clear, with the other one (previous Constitution) there was a loophole, a dark side, but the present one is clear when it says unequivocally when it considers that all children born to foreigners in the Dominican Republic are not considered Dominicans, and the Supreme Court acted in accordance with this mandate." He suggested that anyone born under the previous Constitution to the one of 26 January 2010 should wait until the Constitutional Tribunal is established in order to challenge the latest ruling.
