The ex-president, Leonel Fernandez, criticized the high rate of poverty prevailing in the Altagracia despite generating so much wealth through tourism.
“Punta Cana receives tourists from France, Germany, United States in great quantity; this produces wealth that La Altagracia enjoys very little,” she added.
The also presidential candidate of the Fuerza del Pueblo party, once again criticized what he called “improvisation and lack of planning” of the present government.
“The bridge of the Otra Banda, in this province of La Altagracia, has been out of service for a year and they have not fixed it, a sign of inefficiency and lack of planning by this government,” he said during a meeting with leaders in the area.
He added that “this is a government of bulk, allante and movement; a lot of foam and little chocolate; foolish and incapable; that is why they must go arranging their suitcases, because in 2024 they will leave”, according to Almomento.net.
On his side, Deputy Hamlet Melo said that the English language teaching center in Verón has been closed for a long time.
