Speaking in La Romana during the inauguration of the new Coral Highway yesterday, Wednesday 8 August, President Leonel Fernandez defended the public works projects built by his administration, saying that they represent "irrefutable proof" that the Dominican Republic has been radically transformed over the last eight years. He said that his administration has implemented infrastructure projects that in his opinion represent the advancement and the progress of the Dominican nation. In support of his statements, Fernandez listed some other major roadbuilding projects: construction of highways between Santo Domingo and Samana, San Cristobal and Bani, Km15 of Azua and San Juan de la Maguana, San Juan de la Maguana and Barahona, San Juan and Elias Pina, Corredor Duarte and others. "In these eight years there has been a radical transformation across the whole country, as a result of the efforts, work and determination of a government team only interested in raising up the Dominican Republic.
Fernandez made it clear that the dream of Dominicans was to build a democracy, which at the same time would guarantee them the freedom and the full exercise of their basic rights, goals that he felt that his administration had accomplished. The President also referred to the 13% tax burden, stressing the fact that this is below the regional and world average.
The Coral Highway, which links La Romana with Punta Cana, reduces driving time from Santo Domingo to the east coast tourist area to about 2 hours. The 70km highway was built at a cost of US$400 million by Brazilian firm Odebrecht.
