“Fusión” de RD y Haití no es idea extranjera, sino de Balaguer y Casado Soler

“Una Confederación Dominico-Haitiana sería un pacto de unión permanente que salvaguarde los preceptos de paz, progreso y justicia que se han trazado nuestros dos pueblos..”, sostiene el profesor Casado Soler, autor de la canción El regalo mejor.

Caribbean Leaders Head to Venezuela for Chavez Funeral.

American media is HORRIFIED!!! 53 Heads of States or Heads of Governments have landed in Caracas. 

In Haiti, radio stations have been urged to follow traditional Haitian mourning practices.... no happy or loud music. Close love/ affinity between Haiti and Venezuela for more than 200 years.

A number of Caribbean leaders have arrived in Venezuela for the funeral of former President Hugo Chavez, who died Tuesday.

Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar arrived in Caracas Thursday night, as did Haiti President Michel Martelly, Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and Foreign Minister Pierre Richard Casimir.

St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr Denzil Douglas is also leading a delegation to the funeral.
A host of Caribbean countries are currently observing national periods of mourning for Chavez, who supported much of the region with his PetroCaribe programme, which provided oil at concessionary rates through 17 to 25-year financing agreements.

PetroCaribe also established a fund for development projects in the Caribbean.

Cuba’s Raul Castro, Venezuela’s closest ally in the region, also came to Caracas to pay tribute to Chavez, whose funeral is Friday.
