Santo Domingo.- Senator Euclides Sanchez said Monday that the 35 tax exemption laws already total RD$118.0 billion result from  electoral deals forged by the business and political classes, "which have done nothing more than increased injustice and social inequality."

The ruling PLD party of lawmaker for La Vega province said he  wants to eliminate those breaks and urged the various sectors to demand  reasonable profits from the business class, to give the people the education, health and the dignity they deserve.

In every election, "the business class buys politicians by funding the party that has the greatest chance of success and from there manipulate the government that emerges in an attempt to defend their interests."

He said he’s confident that with president Danilo Medina the time has come to break away from those traditional deals between business and politicians, which in his view jeopardize the people.

Signals

Sanchez said the political class now has a great opportunity to refocus, because Medina has signalled the need for those changes.

The only time a Dominican says this type of crap is when they are left out of the graft and kickbacks.

Losers.

This guy just made a bunch of enemies; no X-mas card for him from the current administration.

At least he had the guts to come out and say what we know is true. Give him a break, and hope more like him come out and say it, and do something about it.

No, Josean, it is not about the Metro or the PLD in particular. It is about tax breaks in return for political support, which applies to the PRD as well.

Roy it's always about the METRO.

The largest most corrupt useless infrastructure project in the history of the Dominican Republic. The Project that has yet to produce and audit and does nothing for 99.5 percent of the Dominican people!

This is the Magnum example of political back room deals at the expense of the majority by politicians and business interests!
