La Romana. - President Leonel Fernandez affirmed yesterday that Dominican Republic is a viable country and with guarantees for foreign investment, just one day after U.S. ambassador Robert Fannin questioned the country’s state of law, and just hours after Senate president Reinaldo Pared called them “shameless and intolerable interference.”
The Head of State, who spoke during the groundbreaking ceremony for the tourism project Playa Nueva Romana, by the Spanish Group Piñero, at a cost of more than RD$l.0 billion, also announced the inaugural of the Santo Domingo-Samaná highway at the start of December.
Moreover, Fernandez said the Boulevard of the Atlantic project has been submitted to Congress, which includes the repaving, reconstruction and extension of the Nagua-Samaná highway and advances in the construction of Samaná’s aqueduct.
He said while the lack of liquidity works against infrastructure projects around the world, “here in the Dominican Republic we are breaking ground to start a project such as like Playa Nueva Romana, and consequently sends a message to the rest of the world that this country is a viable place, where investors have confidence in the future.”

The ambassador said exactly what we all can see. The emperor is naked.
As for Leonel's repeated assertions that everything is OK in the DR; Ever have a used car salesman tell you that the odometer was set back, the gas mileage stinks, and the car had been used as a rental car in a war zone? If you expect him to tell the truth, you are going to have to wait a while.

Where is exactly is playa nueva anyway? It s probably an artificially made beach.
The description was that it was between San Pedro de Macoris and La Romana. That is a pretty
big stretch of land.
The Piñero group from Spain has over 10,000 employees so they have the credibility to complete
this project.
From: United States
Leonel, a guy in a daze. he really thinks dudes are lining up at the airport to come on down, with suitcases of cash. he really believes that everyone in this country is uneducated and uninformed. worse yet, he thinks that the investors are. Leo, investors have this thing wherein they like to do business in countries which have basic services, like constant electricity. even if you have a PSU for your computer, you have to have to keep re-booting routers every time the electricity goes on or off. who needs that in the 21st century?

BASTA ...there is no need for this to be a failed country and as Jander says it is a nice country that has a unique laid back atmosphere ..it suffers from mal administration in the government and also in much of the private sector which I believe , as the church has already said, is ongoing from decade to decade and to break the cycle the country needs administration from outside .. abit like a badly managed company being taken over and the new company improving everything ..a new start .

It is around 80 balmy degrees outside, as we speak. sun is shining, weather is sweet, not a cloud in the sky. beautiful girls running in and out of my apartment. my posse and i having a cold one, the girls cooking up some chicken soup. and you? freezing your ass off in the tundra. your greasy ass wife isn't even home with you. she is somewhere in the caribbean, looking to get some real serious pipe, the stuff that your drug addled ass cannot lay. she is with some sanky panky, cavorting around and spending your money. because i have a handle like Dreadlocks, you think it is either me or one of my friends. so, just the thought of me bugs you. you are locked up in the house, and cannot even drink a stiff one, because you are on antibiotics, trying to get rid of the STD you caught from the caribou. and you

I have a feeling LF has serious problems to hide, being that he wants the world to know there are no problems and everything is ok in the DR, seems like he's afraid that if the world really finds out about the illicit things he does, a boycott to have him removed or he could get impeached and maybe he knows it would tar his image for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want that to happen. I suggest the world needs to know about the problems in the DR so they can start to question, the kind of president we have. And i'm not just saying that so we can get hand outs, so that we can possably find away, to better things here.

The US Ambassador is 100% correct. What kind of reply would you expect from polititians who are just a bunch of greedy thieves who not only rob from their children but probably from their mothers.
Honesty and morality are not islands in the pacific you bunch of losers. Gringos don't have a chance in the system here in the DR. Get hit in the back by a motorconcho and YOU have to pay. This is a country filled with great smiles and no morality. Too bad.
Unlike the US where children from poor backgrounds try to get out of the Ghetto by playing ball here they want to be polititians. What a morally bancrupt country!

"...President Leonel Fernandez affirmed yesterday that Dominican Republic is a viable country and with guarantees for foreign investment..."
I beg to differ, Mr. Presidente. "...with guarantees for foreign investment..." sure I give you that; but what makes a country viable is more than just the guarantee of return on investment at the expense of the entire populace...
Piracy is a viable and guaranteed investment in Somalia. Does that make it a viable country?

Dreads,
You are visiting the DR great! why not visit punta cana! Then you might be somewhat qualified to talk about it!
Book a tee time at punta espada... have a cold one in the mens locker room its nice! slide over to the marina and have a nice dinner! Hell get a girl you are from new york you can afford it and its been so long you deserve it.. Splurge get a good looker not those fat ones you normally drag home!
You wish but your a nerd and to afraid the cops might stop you! How is it a guy from new york is scared in the DR! mmmm explain that bubble boy..
Its nice here no snow and 10 degress this weekend! thanks for asking you jackxxx
I was in phoenix and florida already this month golfing so I will be okay! Now off to the DR for 2 weeks this recession is terrible hmmmm.
Us poor alberta hicks just slugging it out in oil and gas country. Come check it out or are you to scared? Just look at the web sites and dream thats what ya usaully do isnt it! Jamaica is you
From: United States
well, looka here! TFISKE is back with his grief. the bong action wore off , so he is back looking to start more nonsense. 10 degrees outside, 10 below in his trailer. mad at the world, because he has visions of Big Bertha, his obese old bag of a wife, exposing her greasy folds of fat to some beach boy called Mocanito. look fool; i live here. every day, i encounter girls who are all prettier than each other. as i told you yesterday, the weather is too good to describe. a normal day here is something you get to see for one week per year. so, guess what, stoner? today, while i am at the beach with a few of my buddies, what will you be doing? crying in your moonshine, because your lardass wife just ran up an inexplicable expense of 60,000 pesos at Sosua motors..yes, TFISKE; she just bought sanky a passola, with your cheddar!! if the pig leaves anything in your account after she buys Mocanito a condo, you better stock up on corks. because sanky is putting some official hose
From: United States
where the sun don't shine. your missus will need to plug the hershey highway, or she will be taking on water when she gets into the pool. those sankies do not play around! so, stay mad, and keep showing off your anger. we understand, and we pity you. be careful now; you have probably been getting away with it, but beastiality is a crime. leave the poor moose alone, and rent some xxx videos, if you can still get it up. heck, maybe that is why fatso is in the DR.
From: United States
poor, cretinous , arkatype. the sub humanoid neanderthal is trying to say something, but can only squeeze out a sentence. as mindless as it is, he manages to find it amusing. you might want to stay in the forum, arkatype. that way, less people read your insights, and so less people realise what an imbecile you are. you have no self respect; to continuously post nonsense and reveal your idiocy to the public is self-abuse.
From: Cuba, it is a secret the censors are looking for me
Dread quit suckin up to Arkatype
From: United States
you know, GC, i am really flattered these days. i must be really important. cretins like arkatype and TFISKE have me on their minds at all times. they cannot wait to make random sniper attacks on me , out of the blue. i might not even have posted in the thread, yet they look to flame me. TFISKE cannot even get a good night's rest, waiting for sunup, so he can start all over again. as far as i am concerned, guys like them are so inconsequential, so useless, meaningless, mindless, uninformed, and such wastes of oxygen, i do not even remember they are alive. i guess they post to remind me.

the Newfie nitwit is back. what now, TFISKE? No cable service in the trailer? bored again? your barnyard animals left for the day? spilled bongwater on the couch? tell uncle Dreadlocks what is bothering the little man. we know, you just want to play too, but we really do not like your company, because you refuse to shower and change your underwear. but you will not take a hint. you just follow us around like the little fat guy in high school, who had no friends. actually , you probably turned out to be the old fat guy with no friends. is that your cellphone i hear in the background? it sounds like Bertha. she needs you to wire 5000 dollars to her sanky. he is tired of the passola, and wants a toyota. you HAD a home in the DR, before your wife signed it over to Mannie boy. thanks for telling me to enjoy the hookers. right back at you; enjoy your elk.
From: United States, Reality Check
First, I am glad that Fannin got some of his manhood back to address one of the problems the of the RD (even if Prez LF is in denial which is expected). Fannin - should continue to get some balls and do his job that we American taxpayers with ties to the RD want him to do!
Also, to DREADLOCKS, do not let these fools like TFISKE get you upset. Many readers like me know & can clearly see the differences between you vs. TFISKE and thus which side the level of intelligence & education falls on between the two of you.
Dreadlocks, I just have one correction and that is TFISKE does change his underwear! Maybe not everyday ... but he does change them. I was in Canada and drove by and saw TFISKE outside doing laundry and his old & used underwear were stuck together but he was separating them with a stick!
TFISKE is originally from West Virginia where he migrated from Canada with his first cousin who was also his wife at the time. So, lets go easy on TFISKE a product of inbreeding.
