Juan Manuel Méndez García appointed director of Intrant

Intrant Juan Manuel Méndez García Dominican Republic Law 63-17 public administration

Retired Major General Juan Manuel Méndez García has assumed the role of executive director at the National Institute of Transit and Land Transportation (Intrant) in the Dominican Republic. Following his appointment, questions were raised regarding his eligibility, leading to a potential appeal before the Superior Administrative Tribunal (TSA).

Legal experts and a legislator have defended the appointment, asserting that Méndez García meets all requirements stipulated in Article 13 of Law 63-17. They note that he is a Dominican citizen in full exercise of his civil and political rights, holds a law degree, and possesses over twenty years of experience in public service and inter-institutional coordination.

Jurist Susana Gautreau de Windt argued that his professional experience satisfies the law's preference for technical training. Similarly, Amado Díaz, a spokesperson for the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) deputies, stated that the legal language regarding technical training is a recommendation rather than a mandatory requirement.
