Yesterday, June 8th, marked two months since the Jet Set tragedy, an event that claimed the lives of over 235 people and left at least 170 injured.
Today, sixty-two days later, there are children without parents, husbands and boyfriends without their partners, parents without their children, and an entire people —along with the eyes of the world— ask themselves two questions: what happened that day? and will there be consequences?
They are answers that are not yet available and whose wait hurts, calling into question the institutional processes of the Dominican Republic.
Sometimes, the aim is to comply with due process, allow time for investigation, and avoid unnecessary media noise. But other times, that same Public Ministry humiliates innocent people, conducts raids without investigating, and acts regardless of whether it is an incorrect procedure.
So, should we remain hopeful that justice will be served for the victims of the Jet Set?
