Reinaldo de las Mercedes Pared Pérez (25 September 1956 – 29 October 2021) was a Dominican politician. He represented Distrito Nacional in Chamber of Deputies from 1998 to 2002, and served in the Senate since 2006. Pared Pérez was president of the senate twice, between 2006 and 2014, and again between 2016 and 2020. A member of the Dominican Liberation Party, he was named general-secretary in 2001.

The government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) awarded Pared Pérez the Order of Brilliant Star Special Grand Cordon in June 2017.[1]

The former secretary general of the Dominican Liberation Party, Reinaldo Pared Pérez, died this Thursday night in what appears to be a suicide.

Pérez had episodes of depression as a result of health problems caused by a cancer that was detected two years ago and for which he was undergoing treatment.[citation needed]

Pérez died by a suspected suicide on 29 October 2021, at the age of 65 in a summer residence in Juan Dolio, where he spent most of his time after the illness.[2]
