SANTO DOMINGO.- The Presidency’s Adviser on drugs on Sunday warned that in the next elections more than 60 legislators and a considerable number mayors and city council members linked to drug trafficking could result elected, and denounced that during the construction of the Northwest Line aqueduct the country bought at port one same tube from the same company for 210 and 350 dollars.
Marino Vinicio Castillo said that if the Central Electoral Board and the political parties don’t reach an agreement to evaluate those who seek electoral posts and candidates to prevent links to narcotics, the country would be exposed to a tragedy.
Interviewed by Geraldino González on Telemicro Channel 5, Castillo, who’s also head of the Ethics Commission, affirmed that he has information that of the people who seek congressional and municipal posts, more than 30 percent are linked to narcotics trafficking.

Come on morons. Follow the money.
How tough of a mental exercise is this for Dominicans?
Oh, I forgot child rape and corruption is considered a badge of honor and machismo.
Yes! And PROVE it! This all maybe true, but also may be a lesson from the US "political playbook". It all may just be BS from the ruling party! Attack and discredit the opposition!
This is the type of bombshell that could bring down a government!
Using Micaela's logic of its every Dominicans responsibility to report criminal activity: then what is the responsibility of the government when one of its highest ranking officials claims everybody knows who the narco-traffickers are in the country?
Does it means at best the government knows who they are and chooses to look away or worst this is a narco-state?
I wonder what the US goverment and the DEA reaction will be.
Morales Troncoso dice todo el mundo sabe quienes están ligados al narco
“En este país nos conocemos todos, en las comunidades y en las ciudades, de manera que es de amplio conocimiento quienes son los que están en el narcotráfico”, expresó Carlos Morales Troncoso.
That is the Secretary of State making that comment. Could you imagine if his counterpart in the US made such a statement.

Pero Sr. Secretario, usted, con todo el respeto que nos merece, esta siendo un irresponsable con estas declaraciones tan serias, usted aparte de su alta posicion en el Estado, es presidente de un partido y ademas un ciudadano dominicano. Rectifique lo que ha dicho, porque nos parece que es un acto irresponsable, diga usted quienes son los que estan vinculados al narcotrafico.

Entonces si es así, por qué se quejan cuando se refieren a este país como un estado FALLIDO. Porque carajo, eso quiere decir que todas las autoridades judiciales saben quienes están ligados al NARCO y no hacen NADA. Es más, yo entiendo que si todo el mundo lo sabe, y no hacen NADA es porque reciben algo a cambio de los NARCOS.
If Hillary Clinton made such a statement she would be required to testify before the US senate tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM and resign by noon!
