The situation in Peru
Permanent Council · Special meeting
Organization of American States, Washington, D.C.
Ambassador Josué Fiallo, Permanent Representative of the Dominican Republic
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
The Dominican Republic wishes to express its concern at today's events in the Republic of Peru.
Representative democracy is indispensable for the stability, peace and development of the region. To promote and consolidate democracy is one of the purposes of the Organization of American States. Any attack on democracy must be firmly rejected.
We call for unrestricted respect for institutions and for the constitutional order. We call on the authorities of Peru, the political forces and all Peruvians to remain calm, preserve peace and move forward in an inclusive and tolerant national dialogue within the established order, one that allows them to strengthen their democracy and bring their society together.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
