CNN's Claudia Palacios, a prominent commentator from the all-news network, is currently covering the Dominican elections. According to an interview in Hoy, the Colombian television personality sees only slow change in the political scene in the Dominican Republic. Palacios told Hoy reporter Adalberto de la Rosa that there are several parallels between the Dominican political situation and other Latin American nations. One of the things noted by Palacios was the slow change in political leadership and how the people adapt to having the same faces in power. Palacios also noted what she called the "timid" participation of women in the political process, unlike the case of other nations such as Chile or Argentina.
On a less serious note, as reported in El Caribe, Claudia Palacios participated in the El Mismo golpe with Jochy Santos talk show last Friday. She commented that it was her first visit to the DR. Palacios said the "warmth of the people and the beauty of the country" impressed her. She praised the color of the sea and the country's highway network.
