Annerys Mélendez

Annerys Mélendez is the president of the Asociación Dominicana de Constructores y Promotores de Viviendas (Acoprovi), an organization that represents the interests of the construction industry in the Dominican Republic. Recently, she expressed concerns about the government's deportation policy towards Haitian migrants, describing it as 'desplanificada' or poorly planned. Mélendez highlighted the need for a strategy that allows Haitian workers to regularize their status in the country, as they play a significant role in the construction sector, which generates substantial employment in the Dominican economy.
