More about Dominican Republic
Politics
According to the constitution that came into force on January 26, 2010, the Dominican Republic is a presidential republic. The head of state, commander in chief of the armed forces and the highest executive body (head of government) is the president, who is directly elected for 4 years. The legislature lies with the bicameral parliament (Congreso Nacional; legislative period 4 years), consisting of the Senate (Senado; 32 members, each province and the national district send 1 senator) and the House of Representatives (Cámara de Diputados; 190 members). Fundamental decisions and constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority of both chambers.
National symbols
The national flag is divided into four rectangles by a straight white cross. At the leech above and at the flying end below there is a blue rectangle, the remaining fields of the flag are red in each case. The white cross stands for the faith of the people and the sacrifices during the wars of freedom, blue for everlasting freedom. Red symbolizes the blood shed in the struggle for freedom.
The coat of arms, which was introduced in 1844, shows in the escutcheon an open Bible, exaggerated by a golden cross, in front of a trophy made up of six lances and two national flags on both sides; Palm fronds and olive branches frame the heraldic shield. A banner with the motto “Dios, Patria, Libertad” (God, Fatherland, Freedom) hovers above him, and under the coat of arms a banner with the country’s name.
National holidays are February 27 (commemoration of independence in 1844) and August 16 (renewed declaration of independence in 1863).
Parties
The party system is v. a. from the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD, German Revolutionary Dominican Party; founded 1939), the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano (PRSC, German Christian Social Reform Party; founded 1964), the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD, German Dominican Liberation Party; split off from the PRD in 1973) and the Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM, German Modern Revolutionary Party; split off from the PRD in 2014).
Unions
Only a small part of the employees are unionized. The three umbrella organizations Confederación Autónoma Sindical Clasista (CASC, founded 1962), Confederación Nacional de Trabajadores Dominicanos (CNTD, founded 1971) and Confederación Nacional de Unidad Sindical (CNUS, founded 2005) are members of the International Trade Union Confederation.
Military
The total strength of the volunteer army is 24,500, that of the paramilitary police units about 15,000 men. The army (15,000 soldiers) is divided into six infantry brigades, one tank, mountain, engineer and artillery battalion, special forces and the presidential guard. The air force has 5,500 and the navy 4,000 men.
Administration
The country is divided into 10 regions, which are divided into 31 provinces and a national district (Distrito Nacional).
Law
At the top of the judicial system is the Supreme Court (Suprema Corte de Justicia), whose three chambers essentially act as the cassation instance for all subordinate courts. For civil, commercial, criminal and labor matters, these are the courts of appeal, the courts of first instance and, at community level, the courts of justice. There are also special jurisdictions for financial and land disputes. The 16 judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the National Judiciary Election Committee, and all other judges are appointed by the Supreme Court. – The 1884 Civil Code is essentially a translation of the French Code Civil (Code).
Education
There is general compulsory schooling for children from 6 to 14 years of age. However, the enrollment rate in primary schools is only 80%. Eight years of primary level is followed by a four-year secondary level, which can be completed with a university entrance qualification. Tuition in state schools (except universities) is free. However, those who can afford it send their children to a privately run colegio (mostly run by Catholic orders). The oldest and largest university in the country is the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (founded in 1538).
Media
Restrictive media laws, arbitrariness of the judiciary and violence against journalists repeatedly threaten independent reporting.
Press: The press tradition goes back to the 19th century. Ten out of twelve daily newspapers appear in Santo Domingo. The largest circulation are “Listín Diario” (founded 1889), “El Nacional” (founded 1966), “Hoy” (founded 1981) and “El Caribe” (founded 1948).
Broadcasting: Around 350 radio stations and more than 40 television stations provide the population with programs. The state Corporación Estatal de Radio y Televisión (CERTV) maintains five radio and two television stations (“Canal 4”, “Canal 17”). Other programs are received via cable providers, mostly from the USA.
