“La política dominicana está de luto”

The Dominican Republic mourns the loss of one of its most influential figures in national politics. Ramón Alburquerque, a prominent political leader, former president of the Senate, and founder of the Modern Revolutionary Party, passed away this Friday after a long battle with liver cancer. Alburquerque had been hospitalized at the Center for Advanced Medicine and Telemedicine (Cedimat) after being transferred to the country from the United States on January 16, where he had been receiving specialized medical care due to his declining health. His passing leaves a profound void in Dominican politics. He was a man of unwavering principles, an influential voice in the National Congress, and a key figure in important national decisions. Various sectors have expressed their sorrow at the loss of a man who dedicated his life to public service.
