In yesterday's Diario Libre editorial column, editor Ines Aizpun wrote about how lenient Dominicans are with their politicians and how little Dominicans demand of government. She says that it is discouraging to listen to the generalities being proposed by the candidates running for President, adding that they have not made proposals for concrete solutions to pressing problems. "They restrict themselves to reciting vague and empty promises on realities, such as proposals to "eradicate poverty."
"To the pseudo-didactic generalities of Fernandez [President Leonel Fernandez] add the professional beautification of Alburquerque [the Vice President] or Cedeno [the First Lady], the pataphysical interventions of Bengoa [former Minister of Hacienda, now manager of the BanReservas], or the disturbing mutism of Diandino [builder of the Santo Domingo Metro], the always 'interesting' and Brazilian conclusions of Diaz Rua [Minister of Public Works], the brazen initiatives of Wessin Chavez, Pena Guaba or Aristy Castro [minority party politicians], the indescribable excuses of Hotoniel [director of the Department for Prevention of Administrative Corruption], the cliches of the police and military commanders, always so empty and pompous.... Hipolito's [Hipolito Mejia, PRD presidential candidate] campaign ideas are too concise, while Danilo's [Danilo Medina, PLD presidential candidate] are too general."
"The reality is that we don't demand proven capacity or responsibility during the government period of the politicians who govern us," she writes. "We don't lose our patience with the governments, despite the fact that we are getting poorer due to their inefficiency, their determination to govern solely for their associates, their pathetic vision of politics," she writes.
"'The Dominican Republic is poor,' they repeat, while they grossly enrich themselves... It is that they know that we do not get mad, that we demand few results.)"
