Monte Plata, Dominican Republic.- President Leonel Fernandez vowed Tuesday to press on with the campaign for his ruling PLD party companion Danilo Medina, despite the incident in which a glass bottle hurled near his car Sunday.

The chief executive affirmed he has yet to fear incidents during his more than 20 years of campaigns and won’t stop taking part in them this time.

Fernandez congratulated Dominican workers to mark the International Day, as part of the ribbon cutting for the Public Hospital of Monte Plata, built at a cost of US$18.0 million.

Note:

Imagine what he could have done with US$ 2,000,000,000 BILLION he spent on the overvalued METRO and the nearly US$50 million he spent on his international shopping sprees with Margarita the Mad Hatter!

Montas slams Lie-onel and his own economic policies while trying to scare the public from voting for the opposition.


This appears to be the PLD’s Etch-A- Sketch Moment!


“The Minister for the economy added that these two claims should complement a great effort to provide quality education.

With regard to debt, Montas said that all international agencies and rating agencies argue that the current level of Dominican Republic debt is manageable, although he admitted that it is a sensitive issue because if it is managed irresponsibly you bring on problems of sovereignty as occurred in the last century.

He recalled that as a result of irresponsible borrowing the Dominican Republic lost control of customs in 1905 and then sovereignty, with important social and political consequences for the country.

He said that from that experience proceeds why political leaders like former President Joaquín Balaguer and Juan Bosch were so reluctant to foreign debt.”

"He reiterated that one of the problems of Latin America, not only of the Dominican Republic, is that the productive apparatus of the region is generating poor quality jobs in the informal sector."

"The same thing as for the last 500 plus years."

But we got a METRO to transport the semi-literate (at best) to those poor quality jobs in the informal sector!

The Bull Shit caught up to the Bull Shitter!

"The problems of DR’s foreign policy between 2004-2012"

The Dominican Republic had the opportunity to occupy a position in the United Nations Security Council, but the President precipitated himself in Washington, where he was called by the Chancellor of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, was to be discrete until the appropriate time with the support that Venezuela was offering.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.-What is the balance of the foreign policy of the Government of eight years of President Leonel Fernandez?

Many people are asking that question, with regard to the 70 journeys undertaken by President Leonel Fernández between 2004 and 2012, with an investment of nearly 2 billion pesos.

Let's see some of the highlights of the foreign policy of the period of eight years of President Fernandez. In those eight years the President traveled to 37 countries, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.

The Millennium development goals

From moment Leonel Fernández assumed the presidency of the republic in 2004 he released the proposal that the country assume the Millennium Goals (MGs) as a priority, and by this action he got the Dominican Republic included among a group of countries that would begin testing the compliance with the eight priorities, and in 2005 the President created the Presidential Office for the implementation of the Millennium goals, and put in his charge to Mr John Gagain.

From: United States, Fighting the Dictatorship of the Narco PLD Mafia; Guillermo Moreno President 2016

With the purpose of enhancing policies with a view to the achievement of the MGs, the President did come to the country on multiple occasions to economist Jeffrey Zacks, one of the ideologists of the proposal, and also arranged for a visit of the then Secretary general of the UN, Kofi Annan.

At the 2005 meeting of the General Assembly of the UN Leonel Fernandez reiterated "the political will to continue to generate national consensus, public policies, technical and institutional capacities and financial resources to make possible the progressive achievement of these objectives". He added that the country would require "between 29 and 30 billion dollars over the next ten years" in order to achieve the Millennium development goals. He also explained how he thought that those resources would be obtained.

However, in September 2010 at the General Assembly of the UN the President admitted that the Dominican Republic not may "achieve some of the goals of the Millennium, as planned, by 2015", without specifying which objectives perhaps could be accomplished, and limited himself to only mention of unlikely compliance with the first objective, the reduction of extreme poverty by half.

The Government has not complied on the reduction of poverty, the reduction of maternal mortality, or access and improvement to quality education, neither care to people with HIV, nor any of the other objectives. The Government has spent more than 2 billion dollars, almost 78 billion pesos, on two subway lines and has forgotten that reducing poverty by half was one of the goals by 2015.

Hotoniel Bonilla, the director of the Corruption Prevention Department, put figures to corruption, when he said that in 10 years the main acts of corruption that have been investigated have embezzled 104 billion pesos.

To achieve the Millennium development goals political will and resources are needed. With political will corruption can be pursued and avoid. Available resources that are transferred to the friends and relatives who have no control in the waste of public funds could then be used to achieve the goals.

Leonel Fernandez has not returned to talking about the the fulfilment of the Millennium development goals.

Poverty, health, education and equity data for the Dominican Republic are among the WORST in the continent according to figures of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC). Social spending in the country is one of the lowest on the continent, and continued down between 2009 and 2010. The same applies to investment in EDUCATION.

Positioning of RD in international bodies

The Dominican Republic had the opportunity to occupy a position in the United Nations Security Council, but the President rushed to make public the support that was being offered by Venezuela in Washington, where he had an appointed with the Chancellor of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and did not wait until an appropriate time, and told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, United States and the media and that motivated Guatemala, the other contender against Venezuela to oppose with stubbornness the consensus in favor of the Dominican Republic.

It was the year 2006, more than 40 rounds of voting were made for the Security Council. The candidates were Venezuela and Guatemala and none obtained the necessary votes. The Group of Latin America and the Caribbean (GRULAC) should seek a solution for the consensus on a candidate. To search for a way out Venezuela, by way of its Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro, called to President Fernandez and said that it agreed that DR should apply. Fernandez immediately revealed this idea, thinking that it would reach consensus. He should have shut up. Guatemala rejected it immediately because it was a suggestion by Venezuela.

Fernández openly sought the support of the United States, at a meeting in Washington, something that was denied with caution by Secretary Condoleezza Rice, since it was a Venezuela proposal. Of note was even the statement by President Leonel Fernández, in the sense that United States did not object to the Dominican Republic being on the Security Council.

International analysts interpreted that the Dominican Republic failed due to little prudence on the part of President Leonel Fernandez.
