OPINION: “What’s in it for me“ volunteers

The relaxation of purchasing processes at the level of mayors, communal boards, and provincial councils, which is also joined by those of the Directorate of Social Assistance – although for amounts greater than those of local governments – is clearly a mistake, but it is the It is a way to please the voracity exhibited by the ruling party, whose base, openly and shamelessly, also claim their share of the spoils, demanding appointments. They have removed the mask and, in doing so, they have also lowered the necessary controls in the handling of money. All this is a sort of conspiracy so that the taxes flow under the table, with what is formally institutionalized the “what’s in it for me”. At the same time, it is the calisthenics for the next elections, as has happened with the epidemic of creating new townships and districts. They are crude in what they do and think, and they think it doesn’t show. The secretary-general of the PRD asks its bases not to publicly air the issue of the exchange of work in the electoral campaign for a position in the government. But there is nothing to worry about: there is nothing new in that, because we all know that this is how politicians win elections. – LA PRENSA. Oct, 9
