AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCuban Diplomats Expelled: The Dominican Republic ordered the departure of at least nine Cuban diplomats and their families from the El Millón embassy area, giving a seven-day deadline; Cuban officials packed belongings under police surveillance while Cuba’s ambassador Ángel Arzuaga Reyes downplayed the move and framed it as a test of resilience. Protest & Political Pushback: Dominican grassroots and political groups called for a demonstration next Tuesday in front of MIREX to reject the expulsion, with critics arguing it serves broader U.S.-aligned geopolitics rather than Dominican interests. Possible Intelligence Rationale: Dominican sources cited by El Día say authorities detected Cuban officials allegedly operating in ways tied to Havana’s intelligence/security services—handled via diplomatic withdrawal rather than declaring them persona non grata. Congress Stalls Key Laws: Lawmakers are set to start the second ordinary session of 2026, but critics point to long-stalled bills on water, labor, cybersecurity, a new civil code, and other major legal reforms. Telecom Overhaul: Indotel presented a proposal for a new Telecommunications, Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity law aimed at modernizing the sector and simplifying approvals. Teachers Mobilize: ADP announced nationwide rallies Aug. 20 demanding payment of teacher performance incentives and retroactives ahead of the new school year.
