Recently appointed Dominican consul in New York City, Eduardo Selman called the Huchi & Nuria radio talk show on CDN yesterday to explain that the 26 vice consuls employed at the NYC consulate are necessary and carry out multiple roles to serve the Dominican community in New York, estimated at nearly 650,000. The investigative reporters had revealed that the Dominican consulate employs more consuls than the Mexican or Indian consulates. Selman denied that the vice consuls who are not accredited by the US government, primarily because they are US residents or citizens, sign documentation. The journalists had reported that any official documentation signed by the non-accredited staff could be invalid. The journalists highlighted the high cost of consular staff in the US, most of whom are considered political appointees.
