Santo Domingo, RD.
President Luis Abinader has appointed the leader of the Party of Christian Social Reform (PRSC) and the lawyer, Eddy Alcántara Castillo, to lead the National Institute for the Protection of Consumer Rights (Proconsumidor).
Decree 176-21, with a single article, establishes that in the resolution 01-2021 of the Board of Directors of Proconsumidor, the term composed of Sandino Báez Bisonó, Ana Vertilia Cabrera and Eddy Alcántara was established for the appointment of the Executive Director of the Institute of protection of consumer rights, from March 17, 2021.
On December 30, Anina Del Castillo, who was CEO of Proconsumidor since January 2016, announced her resignation.
Since then, that institution had been without a representative.
Del Castillo said his resignation was due to a “personal decision taken after weighing the various factors that marked 2020”.
