The new electronic passports that are planned to be used are SIM cards that can be read simply with a SIM card reader, containing all of a person’s biometric data, photos, and personal information. Some countries even have automatic readers that detect a person’s complete data simply by entering it. So anyone with an electronic passport will have an easier time entering a country.
Since Luis Abinader took office, one of the services that Dominicans have been complaining about has been passports.
Due to the new passport request, President Luis Abinader has declared national security since its inception, starting with the bidding process for companies that will issue passports in the Dominican Republic. Many people are wondering if Luis Abinader was cornered in the National Palace after a journalist asked him a question that he did not answer.
In an interview with Sergio Carlos on Antinoti, President Luis Abinader stated that they had the biometric data of the gangs operating in Haiti, which led many to wonder how the president could have identified the Haitian gang if they had not crossed into the Dominican Republic.
A passport is the identity of a foreigner entering a foreign country. Recently, a murder was committed in Dubai, and the people identified with the passports found belonged to Canada. When the embassy was notified, they sent an update of the passports with the real identities of the owners. Therefore, it is presumed that the new company that will issue passports to Dominicans may have Haitian businessmen behind it, which is very dangerous.
Several employees of Haitian businessman Gilbert Bigio have been identified working in the PRM government. Add to this the fact that two world-renowned companies refused to issue passports and they were handed over to a company that currently operates and has little experience.
While as president he has the power to issue decrees, society also has the right to question any act it finds suspicious on the part of a president.
