Anti-DR campaign surfaces again

[NewsWhore]

Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso is on the defensive once again, saying that the DR is the subject of a very well-funded defamation campaign from interested sectors abroad. Morales was speaking in reaction to an incident that took place at Florida International University where the film, "The Sugar Babies" was shown. The film was rejected by Dominicans who called it a farce, dismissing it as an attempt to discredit the DR by priests Christopher Hartley and Pierre Ruquoy. Hoy writes that the Dominican Consul in Miami, Dr. Manuel Almanzar Castillo, had the microphone removed from his hands by moderator Richard Tardanico, as he was about to defend the country's image. Morales says that the fact that Almanzar was prevented from speaking is just further proof of the anti-DR campaign. He says that international organizations are trying to portray the DR as a slave nation. The issue of an anti-DR campaign surfaced when father Ruquoy and father Hartley presented another anti-DR video, "Slaves in Paradise" in France.
