00:00Liston Diario presents the editorial from the director.
00:30The new regulations offer fundamental advances against modern crime, such as the classification
00:41of emerging crimes.
00:43For example, the code responds to current threats such as cyberbullying, the dissemination
00:48of fake news for the purpose of blackmail, contract killings, economic violence and instigation
00:54of suicide.
00:55Furthermore, it punishes crimes against humanity and enforced disappearances, aligning itself
01:01with international standards.
01:02It establishes penalties of up to 60 years for accumulated serious offenses, as well as
01:09robust protection orders for survivors of gender-based and domestic violence.
01:14The creation of a registry of sexual offenders and post-sentence re-education and surveillance
01:19programs demonstrate a comprehensive approach to citizen security.
01:24Despite its significance, the code suffers from deficiencies that require immediate correction,
01:30for which there is time, but in a climate of less pressure and interference from interested
01:35groups.
01:36The 12-month period before its entry into force is a critical window to review some aspects
01:41or incorporate safeguards against impunity in white-collar crimes, eliminating exceptions
01:47for public institutions.
01:49The promulgation of the code is an imperfect triumph, but a starting point for addressing
01:54the burden along the way.
01:55Despite its shortcomings, this code is a monumental step forward compared to the immobility that
02:01for years replicated models alien to Dominican reality.
02:05Its merit lies in breaking the political paralysis, but its legacy will depend on the will to refine it.
02:12The call is on President Abinader, Congress, and civil society to take advantage of these
02:1712 months to transform a courageous text into a truly fair and inclusive tool.
02:23History will judge not only by what was achieved, but by what was magnificently corrected.
