Labor Minister Jose Ramon Fadul says that a cooperation agreement between the DR and Spain is still valid. The agreement enables Dominican workers to go and work in Spain on temporary visas, but officials say that the increase in cheap labor in Spain and the failure of the Spanish authorities to get Dominicans to return home has put strains on the program. The Labor Ministry has sent an estimated 5,000 Dominicans to Spain and the Minister said that the Ministry is hoping to sign similar agreements with the Canadian government. Hoy writes that the Spanish government might start paying temporary workers to return to the DR, paying them 40% of the funds upon departure and the remaining 60% once they arrive in the DR.
