The executive directors of Citizen Participation (PC), Javier Cabreja, and of the Latin American Social Studies Faculty (Flacso), Francisco Cueto, said that the results of the recent Gallup-Hoy poll reveal the reality of life in the Dominican Republic. They are referring to the perception of generalized public corruption by a high percentage of the population.
The two civic leaders recommended the government study the poll results in regards to government efforts to fight and punish corruption. They urged the government take effective measures to deter corruption and strengthen democracy, the system of party politics and the quality of life for the population.
Cabreja and Cueto talked about the results of the Gallup-Hoy poll that indicated 66% of those surveyed believe that the corruption is increasing while 84% believe that there is a lot of impunity. The government handling of the economy is seen as negative by 82% of the people interviewed.
In the opinion of Cabreja and Cueto, one of the reasons that the people perceive so much corruption is that there are few controls to combat this plague.
The spokesperson for Citizen Participation called the fact that people are not seeing any measures directed at investigating and punishing corruption, "but rather they get answers from the authorities that seem to justify the situation."
In the Gallup Poll published in Hoy, 65.8% considered bad the government's efforts to fight corruption.
