Farmers who had their projects canceled in Agriculture demand the new minister pay for the vehicles financed by the previous one.

This is about more than 150 utility vehicles that the Ministry of Agriculture delivered to regional directors and those in charge of agricultural areas of the 8 agricultural regions. Departmental managers were also benefited. The past authorities of the state agency made financing agreements through the Banco de Reservas and the CoopParospera Cooperative, for which each director contributed 10% of the vehicle's value and the remainder is paid monthly by the Ministry of Agriculture. Now that there was a change of authority, the incoming minister instructed that those dismissed directors, who total more than 30 to date, be excluded from this commitment, as well as the others who are still on the payroll.

A press document sent by the former Communications Director of the institution, journalist Erick Montilla, details that the problem is that PRM leaders are being sent to the streets, who, despite contributing to the party's continued governance today, are now unemployed and in debt of up to RD$90,000 pesos monthly.

Indicate that if they do not assume the payment, the vehicles will be seized and they will lose the initial payment of up to one million pesos and the months of promissory notes made by Agriculture, which amounts to a millionaire sum paid to BANRESERVAS and the CoopProspera cooperative. Among the dismissed directors and deputy ministers affected are: Eulalio Ramirez, president of the PRM's Agricultural Front; regional directors Rafael Soto Kilo from the South Central; Juan Mateo, Southwest; Gregorio Magno, South; Pedro Trinidad, North; Berny Rodriguez, Northwest and Frank Ventura, from the Northeast. The group announced that in the coming days they will proceed to deliver a letter to the Ministry of Public Administration, MAP, so that it takes action in the matter and also investigates the irregularity that the dismissals and exclusions from the payroll are made without a resolution dismissing them, without a letter of dismissal and without any type of labor benefits. Also through lawyers, they will also proceed to summon the minister Oliverio Espaillat through judicial means so that he assumes the continuity of the State, complies with what was agreed by his predecessor and ends the abuses against the PRM party. Those affected by this wave of layoffs in Agriculture, called on the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, and the administrative minister of the Presidency, Andrés Bautista, to stop these abuses.
