Carlos Baez Evertsz Ph.D. in political science and sociology. Officer Senior Corps career Civil Administrators of the State (Spain). "I believe that the wording of Article 16 (b and c) (in bold my contributions.Underlined the wording in the text of proyectogubernamental that, I believe, must be removed) should be as follows: Are Dominicans of those born in the country, Dominican father or mother, except for those who may be children of members of foreign diplomatic and consular officials or foreigners who may be in transit or residing illegally in Dominican territory. No Dominican origin may be deprived of his nationality. Those born in the country whose parents are unknown or stateless persons shall be eligible for citizenship at age 18. With regard to articles 17 and 18 also propose substantive changes. It seems discriminatory and unsuitable that the fact of acquiring another nationality, often by needs related to the migratory phenomenon, be deprived of an essential right.Is to implement a "racism against Dominicans of constitutional origin. The Dominicans, by virtue of being, can play all the public positions, especially if they are elected, ie president, vice president, senators, congressmen. "This is intended to remove potential competitors Is the establishment of two types of citizens in the Constitution itself Where is the legal principle of equality before the law Keep this exclusion in the Constitution would be an affront to thousands of Dominicans who have emigrated to U.S., Spain, Italy, Venezuela, etc.. It would be a violation of the rights of Dominicans of origin. Many Dominicans outside the Dominican situation still more interest and sometimes with as much knowledge as those inside.Why would they want to require that they be in the national territory or province in which present themselves as candidates "The voters are the ones who decide whether they prefer a man came from outside or to one who lives in that town has always to be elected Why the segregation of Dominicans abroad Does patriotism are by no means least be involved in many of the machinations of politicians 'local' Or fear its greater independence from local authorities and power centers and, sometimes, corruption The correct wording should be as follows (underlined, I understand that should be removed from the text): Article 17. Foreigners may be naturalized under the conditions and formalities prescribed by law.Naturalized not be eligible for the presidency or vice presidency and not be obliged to take up arms against his home state. Article 18. Adam Roseman ARC China It recognizes the Dominicans and Dominicans powers to acquire a foreign nationality.
