SANTO DOMINGO.- The deputy of the
Dominican Revolutionary Party (
PRD), Ramón Raposo stated this Saturday that the economic paralysis, the long stretches of blackouts and the improvisation in the government's actions are exhausting the patience of the citizenry.
Referring to the situation the country is going through, the congressman pointed out that the population can't take any more mistakes from the Government.
Raposo pointed out that a few hours before the start of the school year, concern is observed throughout the country among thousands of parents who have not been able to enroll their children in public schools due to the lack of places. He also indicated that this is compounded by the disorder and improvisation shown in the process of delivering school supplies.
He specified that to the situation the education sector is going through, is added the worsening of the health sector, in the face of questions about the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa), the lack of medicines in the Popular Pharmacies and the crisis of high-cost medicines.
Likewise, the opposition legislator cited that the wave of blackouts is affecting the entire country despite the fact that the government allocates billions of dollars in loans to this sector and the population has to pay rates that exceed their purchasing power.
He added that the unprecedented drop in public investment in projects and infrastructure works aimed at promoting the development of large cities, provinces, municipalities and municipal districts, has generated a paralysis of the economy that is worrying all Dominicans.
He detailed that to this is added the high cost of living as a consequence of the rise in essential products and basic services: as well as citizen insecurity.
