Santo Domingo. - Vice president Rafael Alburquerque today admitted that the constitutional reform has articles which aren’t “progressive” and that “it is not the ideal text we would’ve wanted.”

He affirmed however that the Constitution which would result from this process will guarantee the Dominican Republic as a social and democratic State.

He said although the regulation of the Reform process stipulates only two readings, nothing prevents an amendment and a third one, but favors concluding the topic of the Constitution.

Interviewed on Channel 5, Alburquerque said there are people, which he didn’t identify, who seek to misinform the population on the reform process by calling it a conservative Constitution and by doing a bad interpretation of some of the articles approved. “They have an intention of discrediting the political class, an interest for an aspect of the social class to determine what’s going to be done.”
