Dominican Junta Leader Blasts Peace Team Efforts
Santo Domingo based Maj. Gen. Antonio Imbert Barrera said the reconstruction government will stay in power until the inter American peace team offers a solution to restore normal life in the rebel held downtown area. He accused slow peace talks and demanded rebels be disarmed and all Communists removed before any agreement. He questioned why the inter American force invaded and urged completion of their mission. The OAS plan calls for junta and rebel governments to resign for a neutral provisional government followed by disarmament amnesty and normalization measures. Imbert said he would resign only after the opposing side is disarmed and Communists removed.
