Dominican Republic deputy requested new appointment of Mexican ambassador

The deputy of the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN) of the Dominican Republic, Ricardo Polanco, asked the Government of his country to reject the appointment of Carlos Miguel Aysa González as Mexico's ambassador to Dominican territory.

The businessman also shared his position through a document in which he highlighted: “We support the call made by the federal deputies of the PRI, from Mexico, for the Dominican Republic to reject the approval that he must give to that man.”

These statements came on April 18, 2022, two days after deputies from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) asked the Senate of the Republic to deny the appointment of former PRI governor of Campeche, Carlos Miguel Aysa González, as the overseas representative of the Mexican Republic.

Polanco called on his colleagues to reverse the proposal in question. It should be noted that since last week the appointment of Carlos Miguel was postponed by Mexican legislators due to the resolution of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) on the electricity reform.

For this reason, members of the tricolor party seized the occasion and decided to make a statement in which they described the politician as “a character co-opted by the government of Morena Regeneration Movement (Morena) in exchange for impunity”. They also accused him of having handed over the state of Campeche to the opposition and of supporting AMLO's initiative.

In addition, they invited the other legislators of the Va por México alliance, made up of the Institutional Revolutionary, the National Action Party (PAN) and the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) to vote against Aysa's nomination. On the other hand, they claimed that the official had been “frozen by Morena in commissions until her son supported the electric bill.”

This statement is due to the recent fact that his son, Carlos Miguel Aysa Damas (federal deputy), reported through his Facebook account that he would support the electricity reform. The deputy argued his decision detailing that he does it for the people, because he is “convinced that we cannot be against the development of Mexico or the will of millions of Mexicans. Today, society demands us and demands that popular representatives not to put group interests, electoral alliances or personal interests first.”

After Aysa Damas made his position known, several politicians rushed against him and called him a traitor for turning his back on his own party. Alejandro Moreno, PRI's national president, was among the first to point this out and accuse him of having endorsed López Obrador for the position of ambassador that AMLO had offered his father.

Moreno said: “Democracy gives undeserved opportunities to disloyal people. (...) Neither an embassy, nor bribes, nor blackmail will be enough to look head-on to the nation it has betrayed.”

Senator Panista Kenia López Rabadán also warned that she will vote against Aysa González because of Damas' lack of commitment. On his Twitter account, he stressed: “Let Congressman Aysa know that I will vote against his father being an Ambassador. He has decided to sell his vote in favor of #LeyBartlett, in exchange for vulgar money and power.”

The fissures between these characters with their party are getting bigger and bigger, even, the federal deputy announced this Monday, April 18, his resignation from the tricolor and announced that he would join the Morenista bench to support Andrés Manuel's initiative that was rejected this Sunday in Congress.
