The famous Bachatero Romeo Santos is riddled with Dominican politicians and lawyers after being accused of disrespecting women in his song ‘Mother-in-law’ and that they are demanding that it be withdrawn from all radio stations.
Lawyer Victor Pavon requested the National Public Entertainment and Radiophony Commission that they are removing the song from all programming schedules because they consider it “harmful and inciting violence against women”, Pavón has also campaigned for his position in front of the Gender-Based Violence Unit along with various legal experts Attorney General’s Office in the country.

“On her birthday I’ll give her a gift, a good coffee, but poisoned, if she faints, I’ll put her in my car and the devil will take her out of a ravine” is part of what is heard in the ruthless song, and this may have been the trigger for the call for the American to be banned.
If this request is granted, the interpreter will be ‘Take me with you’ It would not be the only one affected, as lawyers sought a veto on bachata to ensure that this genre of music harms the physical, psychological and moral integrity of women, suggesting that all bachateros in the republic would stop playing.
So far, Santos has not ruled in this controversy, but the war against him continues and the lawyers stand by his petition “It is well founded because it goes against the values and spirit promoted by the Constitution of the Dominican Republic in various articles and laws.”
