Dominican diaspora expresses frustration with state relations

The Dominican diaspora in the United States is expressing growing dissatisfaction with the relationship between the Dominican state and its citizens living abroad. Many community members feel that they are being managed rather than represented by their home government.

For decades, the diaspora has provided significant financial support to the Dominican Republic, yet many feel they lack a voice in decision-making processes. The sentiment suggests that while the community sustains the nation through remittances, they are excluded from political influence and consultation.
