Mejía's Cold and Crucial Immigration Talks: Former President to Join Abinader in CES Meeting

Former Dominican President Hipólito Mejía, while recovering from a cold caught during a recent trip to Boston, confirmed his participation in an upcoming meeting with President Luis Abinader and the Economic and Social Council (CES). The meeting will focus on crucial immigration policies concerning Haiti. Mejía, in a brief interview captured on video, stated, "La verdad que yo llegué anteanoche y llegué con un catarro tremendo, porque está frío y a los calvos le hacen daño el frío" ("The truth is I arrived the night before last and arrived with a terrible cold, because it's cold and the cold harms bald people"). His participation in the CES meeting underscores the importance of the discussions on Haitian immigration, a pressing issue for the Dominican Republic. The former president's candid remarks about his health add a human touch to the otherwise serious political context.
