Dominican Senate President Vows to Enforce Minister Attendance at PGN Debates

Senate President Honorio Henríquez stated he will not permit ministers to be absent from debates on the national budget (PGN), citing the fifth law requiring department heads to attend Congress when summoned. This signals a potential constitutional or procedural confrontation between the legislative and executive branches in the Dominican Republic. The enforcement of this rule could affect the passage of the budget and government accountability.
