The Dominican Council of Evangelical Unity (Codue) has reiterated its stance that the modification of the Minors Code, which involves increased sentences, does not resolve the basic problem in a society that is incapable of applying measures for the care, protection and safety of children. Codue president Fidel Lorenzo Meran said that the Minors Code is an achievement for Dominican society, since it confirms the commitments taken on by the State, but that an increase in sentences is a drastic step. He said that he thought that modifying the Code would not make much difference in terms of the behavior of minors on the streets. Therefore, he urged the promotion of a quality integrated education, based on Christian and social values, which guarantee a life based on solidarity, respect and social justice.
Reverend Fidel Lorenzo pointed to the dangers of organized crime and criminal activity, saying they were deeply rooted like a cancer in society, to which is added a political class that takes decisions without taking into account other sectors. He mentioned that the legislators should seek advice for specialists, councilors and family therapists before dealing with issues so fundamental for the family.
