Argentina: the attack on Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner

Thank you, Madam Chair.

On behalf of the Dominican Government, I wish to express our most resolute rejection and condemnation of any act of violence such as the one that has occurred in Argentina, and also of any climate that tends or leads to the instigation of violence.

The attack perpetrated against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner must be clarified, and the Argentine justice system must establish responsibility. To Argentine society, then: may it continue with maturity and tolerance, strengthening its democracy, and may peace prevail there.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
