In her interview with Clave, former Vice President and Santo Domingo senator Ortiz Bosch said that topping her agenda was to work for attention to accountability in government. She said she would create an office to monitor government spending as allotted in the National Budget. She said she would focus on electricity, security and safety matters if again elected to Congress. She said a recent poll showed she was leading with 55-56%, compared to Reinaldo Pared's 42%.
Pared Perez told Clave he is running on his track record in the Senate. "In four years in the Senate we have only had to suspend two sessions for lack of quorum", he said, to validate his achievements.
But his opponent, Ortiz Bosch says: "He cannot project himself as an independent man. He is very much a man of the President. I do not receive orders. I would not have passed a contract like the one with Barrick Gold. And, the 'barrilito' is a living example of the distortions in the way that the government powers operate."
