SANTO DOMINGO.- The Senate impeachment proceedings against the Accounts Chamber’s (CC) members began to crumble with three more resignations, leaving only one of the original nine judges, whom a senator asked to also resign to avoid dismissal.

CC president Andres Terrero, Jose A. Gregorio and Julio de Beras presented their resignation in a letter to the Senate near noon Friday, leaving only Alcides B. Decena to face impeachment.

Senate president Reinaldo Pared said the resignations add a new ingredient to the political process, and will have to be studied to determine whether or not to reject them. The resignations were tendered as La Vega (central) province senator Euclides Sanchez on the Senate floor asked Terrero and Lugo to resign and avoid dismissal.

The proceedings began Wednesday with testimony by Terrero.

We hope this leads to restructuring and less corruption at least in this department.

Do you get the feeling that the DT ... and, of course, others media ... had a hand in whacking these guys?

The media ganged up on these guys, pounced on them, and bit them, again and again.

These guys were mostly middle class clerks with uppity pretensions, who dared to leak hints and innuendo to the BOURGEOIS media that some of them had dirt on bourgeois.

Boy, did the bourgeoisie teach the middle class ... which doesn't know its place ... a lesson.

Belial;

You have yet to seperate economics from politics in your rantings.
It is a know fact that corruption is endemic to all forms of government, some to a lesser degree and some to a daily encroachment, such as what we have in the DR.
Should you ever decide to study political science and associate that discipline with that of economics, you might find that the similarities are profound.
In the meantime, why don't you answer the questions posed in other threads about the ills of those countries that have embraced your beloved communism/totalitarianism and found that such is no different from what you constantly rave about.
We all know that your manner of presentation would not be acceptable in your "utopia" because that utopia doesn't recognize "FREE SPEECH" in any form.
Go suck your thumb child.
