And remember that on October 23, 2023, Zorilla Ozuna made President Luis Abinader swear that if re-elected he would appoint him to the government train, a request that has come true.

The General Directorate of Border Development (DGDF) is a dependency of the Social Policy Coordination Cabinet, an organization created in Decree 443-00 in the year 2000, with the purpose of contributing to the promotion of agricultural and industrial use of the border provinces: Dajabón, Montecristi, Elías Piña, Independencia, Pedernales, Santiago Rodríguez and Bahoruco.
