Luis Abinader,Dominican Republic,International Agreements

After Dominican President Luis Abinader coasted into a second term over the weekend, he promised that “the best is yet to come.” But as one of the region’s most popular leaders spoke of economic prosperity and constitutional reforms, he left one thing out: the crisis in neighboring Haiti.

As violence and political turmoil grip neighboring Haiti , the Dominican Republic will hold elections Sunday that have been defined by calls for more crackdowns on migrants and finishing a border wall dividing the countries.

“Our catch phrase from now on will be: Either we fight together to save Haiti, or we will fight alone to protect the Dominican Republic,” Abinader said in February. “For me, that’s the number one issue the president must focus on. Otherwise, we will soon be left without a country,” she said. While transition has been chaotic, a political change in Haiti may open the door to dialogue with the Dominican Republic, which international leaders seek.
