Pelegrín Castillo, President of the National Progressive Force party, has characterized the recent discovery of decapitated female bodies in the Elías Piña province as a deliberate component of a “organized disorder” strategy engineered by Haitian criminal factions. This statement was issued yesterday in response to the grisly incident near the volatile border region.
Castillo posits that this violent crime transcends an isolated atrocity, representing instead a calculated geopolitical maneuver. He asserts the primary objective is to fabricate a pretext for an international crime of aggression, masquerading under the narrative of a humanitarian emergency. According to his analysis, this orchestrated chaos is designed to compel the reopening of the Dominican-Haitian border, thereby establishing formal refugee camps on Dominican soil.
“This act was perpetrated with a clear strategic aim: to reinforce the argument that deportations to Haiti cannot proceed under the premise of imminent danger,” Castillo articulated. He further elaborated that the murders serve a dual purpose: intensifying migratory pressure on the Dominican Republic while simultaneously exposing alleged human trafficking corridors. This development coincides with the United States government implementing stricter security protocols in the region.
The political leader also contends that such incidents are leveraged to bolster claims by international organizations, including Amnesty International, advocating against the deportation of Haitians under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The underlying assertion is that these actions validate claims that returnees face life-threatening conditions.
In light of these events, Castillo issued an urgent appeal for governmental responsibility. He advocated for decisive measures, specifically proposing the declaration of a State of Emergency for Defense. He concluded with a stark warning, stating that the nation risks profound loss if it prioritizes tourism protection above all other security and sovereignty concerns.
