Minority party presidential candidate Guillermo Moreno criticized that the state prosecutors and the Central Electoral Board (JCE) have not acted to restrain the continuing practice of political patronage. "How is it possible that in the country there is not respect for the law and that a political party can use the national budget to pay its payroll and the Central Electoral Board does not put a stop to the practice," the former district attorney reproached. Interviewed on Uno + Uno TV talk show, Moreno said that political patronage seems to be ingrained in the Dominican culture with yet to there be the penalizing of a political party that makes undue use of government resources. He criticized that the government has made use of the budget to finance political vagrants while poverty increases in the country. He said his party, MIUCA, seeks to bring about a change in the handling of the political culture in the country.
