Daritza Zapata

politician

Daritza Zapata is a Dominican politician serving as a deputy for Dajabón. Recently, she has been in the news for proposing a controversial bill to change the name of the local hospital from Ramón Matías Mella to that of Dr. José Manuel Rodríguez, a deceased local physician. This proposal has sparked significant opposition from various community leaders, including the mayor and provincial governor, as well as members of the public who view the name change as unnecessary and disrespectful to national heritage. The situation has drawn comparisons to the myth of Ícarus, suggesting that her political career may be at risk if she continues to ignore the will of her constituents.
