OAS SECRETARY GENERAL MOURNS FORMER
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC PRESIDENT, JOAQUIN BALAGUER
July 15, 2002
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), César Gaviria, today expressed his condolences to the family of former Dominican Republic President Joaquín Balaguer, who died in the early hours of Sunday morning at age 96.
"President Balaguer in many ways embodied Latin America's painful reconciliation between an authoritarian past and a democratic present," Gaviria said. "Balaguer understood, earlier than many, that the era of dictatorships was coming to an end and that freedom and democracy were the only bases upon which a prosperous future for his country could be built." He dedicated himself to that enterprise with honesty and intelligence for much of his life, Gaviria added.
The OAS Secretary General said that Balaguer's death provides an opportunity for Dominicans to "renew their commitment to strengthening their democratic institutions and to building the more democratic and prosperous Hemisphere for which we all yearn."
