The Executive Committee of the Frente Amplio has issued a strong rebuke against the Dominican government’s decision to exclude Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela from the upcoming 10th Summit of the Americas. The event, set to take place in December in Punta Cana, has sparked controversy as the organization accuses the government of capitulating to U.S. interests and abandoning the Dominican Republic’s long-standing principles of solidarity, sovereignty, and regional integration. María Teresa Cabrera, president of the Frente Amplio, criticized the exclusion as a violation of the nation’s tradition of mutual respect and self-determination. She highlighted historical moments, such as the 1965 invasion, where Latin American unity played a pivotal role in safeguarding Dominican independence. The party has urged democratic and progressive forces to oppose what it deems an exclusionary and divisive policy, emphasizing that the Dominican Republic should champion sovereignty and solidarity rather than succumb to external pressures.
