Washington, DC - May 2, 2018 - El mes pasado, el Obis- po Alejandro Benjamin, Presidente de la Mesa Redonda Nacional Dominico Americana, publicó, via su página personal de Face- book varias declaraciones en apoyo a Andre Sayegh, uno de los candidatos a la alcaldía de Paterson, NJ. En estas declaraciones, el Obispo Benjamin anima a los votantes de la ciudad de Paterson a votar por Sayegh y contra otros dos candidatos que resultan ser de descendencia dominicana.
-
Las declaraciones del Obispo Benjamin son citadas por un arti- c**o del blog Nosotrosnj enfatizando y resaltando la posición del Obispo como Presidente de DANR, en un intento obvio de dar la impresión de que el Obispo endosa a Sayegh en su capacidad ofi- cial de Presidente de DANR. Este artic**o fue publicado multiples veces por otros medios de comunicación locales, regionales, nacionales e internacionales, así como también compartido innumerables veces a través de las redes sociales por individuos afiliados con la campaña de Sayegh.
-
El Obispo Benjamin considera apropiado y necesario aclarar que la posición expresada en dichas declaraciones son entera y ex- clusivamente suyas, hechas por él mismo como ciudadano privado con derecho a expresarse libremente sobre cualquier tema en los Estados Unidos; y que dichas declaraciones no reflejan la posición de DANR, ni fueron hechas en nombre de DANR o su Junta de Directores.
