Santo Domingo.- President Danilo Medina asked the power companies to avert the blackouts known as “financial” during the rest of the year due to the government’s severe economic difficulties to pay them the US$600.0 million debt, which he pledged to honor starting January.
Economy Minister Temistocles Montas made the announcement Thursday, who said the government awaits their response, until Medina meets with them again Wednesday.
"In this meeting with the power companies it was about how the Government’s debt with this sector will be managed for the rest of the year and how they’ll handle it in a context where the government currently has serious economic difficulties, that was the core issue, and what the energy pact will eventually be, which will have to be initiated afterward," the official said.
Montas added that Medina asked the power companies to review their cash flow to see how they can make a contribution, to enable the Government to deal with the fiscal situation from now until the end of the year, without major problems with the industry.

the only thing that changes are the descriptive words i.e crisis, situation,
problem, etc.
this story and similiar should be pigeon- holed
These thieves continue to take money for themselves and have the people do without, suffer and pay it back.
Look at Iceland, they are doing fine. More countries should follow their example and get rid of these type politicians and central bankers, jail them at a minimum for a long time. Require restitution as well.
People need to wake up and take more control. Be more active instead of relying on empty campaign promises which drives ALL countries further into debt slavery.
This may effect people here but this type issue and all it entails is not isolated to the RD.
99 % of the countries worldwide have electricity 24/7, just here,the directors steal from the people and get away with it. Stand up if you are fed up with this!
The current 2 party system is not a 2 Party. They represent the same interests and those interests are not of the people's interest.
Power companies like the ones in DR already have done the same in other countries, even in the USA. Don't you recall ENRON?
ENRON was intentionally creating the ROLLING BLACKOUTS in California by shutting down power plants due to "MAINTENANCE". The goal was to create the appearance of a low supply of energy and a HIGH DEMAND to push PRICES up!!!
