AfD Faction Inquires about Project in the Dominican Republic
Berlin (hib/HAU) – The AfD faction in the Bundestag wants to know from the federal government what its progress is on a project in the Dominican Republic and whether the project partner has committed any human rights violations.
In a small request, the deputies refer to a project in the northwestern Dominican Republic. The project is said to be aimed at the “sustainable development of the region through the promotion of tourism”. It is a joint project of the Dominican Ministry of Tourism and the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ).
According to the AfD, however, the project partner has already been convicted of serious human rights violations in the Dominican Republic. In 2013, he was reportedly sentenced to three years in prison for land grabbing and fraud. In addition, he is said to have been involved in the forced eviction of farmers.
The AfD members of parliament therefore ask the federal government whether it was aware of the allegations against the project partner at the time the project was launched and whether it has since taken any action against him. The deputies also want to know whether the federal government is reviewing the project and whether it intends to continue funding it.
The federal government has not yet responded to the AfD’s request.
