The PRD has announced that it would oppose the President's proposal to use RD$20 billion of the workers' pension funds to stimulate economic growth through the mortgage markets. PRD president Miguel Vargas and the party's economic team told reporters that they would support all the popular organizations that have protested against this government economic proposal. They said: "It is time to openly fight a government that is moving towards totalitarianism, which could bring about untold social, economic and political consequences".
