INFORMATIVE AND CRITICAL JOURNALISM AT THE SERVICE OF THE COMMUNITY

►The latest from the PRM: President Luis Abinader rejected, a couple of days ago, that a reduction in the percentage of 50 + 1 necessary to win the Presidency through a constitutional reform had been discussed in the PRM.

But, according to our reliable source (a prominent lady from the DN), the last thing about the room negotiation in the PRM consists of enabling Danilo Medina to support Milagros Ortiz Bosch's proposal and reducing it to a difference of 45 or 10 points. from the closest.

The consensus would include various opposition parties and certain sectors of society. Oh! Enable Danilo? The PRM will propose revising to modify article 124 of the Constitution that establishes "2 periods and never more", starting now.

That would allow Medina to be a candidate again, because the new constitution would no longer apply to him, nor to any of those who have been presidents in the country. For this to materialize, Danilo, who is most affected by the PLD, has to support the ruling party's proposal. Whoops!

►Ministry of Culture in the DR covered up employees in NY: The employees (20) belonging to the Commissioner of Culture in NYC were left smelling where they cook at Christmas, because the Ministry of Culture in the DR “cubed” them by not sending check No. 13, corresponding to the Christmas regalia, relatives of several of them informed us.

In the DR, they delivered RD$134,415 million, of which $21,158 million went to the public sector, plus $2,911 million in transfers to independent state bodies. Salary number 13 is one of the most anticipated payments because employees make purchase plans and pay off debts.

Articles 36 and 37 of the Regulations for the Application of the Labor Code order that the worker has the right to the Christmas salary. Likewise, article 219 specifies that the employer is obliged to pay the worker in the month of December the Christmas salary.

Article 220 establishes that it will be done no later than the 20th of that month, and we are already on January 24 (a month and a half) and Culture in Dominican does not say anything at all, explain the relatives, who are orchestrating a picket in front of to Culture in NY and another to the Dominican Consulate, on 43rd Street, in Down Town Manhattan, and invite the national and international press.

A citizen shouted: "And where are the rooms?" And another replied: "In the National City Bank." A lady who was crossing between the two said: “That's called abuse; that money does not belong to Milagros Germán”. Oh!

►They dedicate a song to Hipólito Mejía: The Dominican village singer-songwriter Darío Gómez, who lives in New Jersey and who maintains permanent contact with his compatriots from the Big Apple, has become the favorite of the Quisqueyan community in both states, due to the humorous reality of the content in their interpretations.

In his songs, with a village flavor, he usually incorporates social, political, and personal themes. Now he has dedicated a song to former President Hipólito Mejía for his last statement: «I am an enemy of retaliation (revenge) against former presidents.

In every country where action has been taken against a former president, it ends with destabilization,” said Mejía.

To listen:

►“Dura lex, sed lex = The law is harsh, but it is the law”: It is the most used expression in recent days among politicians, professionals, businessmen, merchants and ordinary Dominican citizens in public places in “nuevayores” so that former president Hipólito Mejía expressed: "I am an enemy of retaliation (revenge) against former presidents, in each country where action has been taken against a former president it ends with destabilization."

But, many "sabiologists" and "allologists" in Upper Manhattan in their analyzes have agreed that this is not the case. They gave an example of the accusations and arrests of former presidents of world powers and everything remains the same: The former president of France Nicolás Sarkozy, convicted of crimes of corruption and influence peddling. Also former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

The Spanish King Emeritus Juan Carlos I is investigated for corruption; and the former president of the Spanish Government Mariano Rajoy. Also, the former German president Christian Wulff, accused of bribery. The Law is and must be the same for everyone, that is justice = Moral principle that inclines to act and judge respecting the truth and giving each one what corresponds by law, say the "opinologists".

►In other countries: In other countries of the Americas, several former presidents have been arrested, accused and convicted of corruption cases, and the countries continue their development, express the “scientologists” and “wise men”. They remember that former president Salvador Jorge Blanco was subdued for acts of corruption. Likewise, the former presidents in Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Fernando Collor de Mello, José Sarney and Fernando Henrique Cardoso. In Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

In Guatemala Álvaro Colom, Alfonso Portillo. In Peru Alberto Fujimori, Alan García, Ollanta Humala, and Alejandro Toledo. In El Salvador are Francisco Flores, Antonio Saca, and Mauricio Funes. In Honduras it was Rafael Callejas; in Panama Ricardo Martinelli and Manuel Solís Palma. In Ecuador Abdalá Bucaram and Rafael Correa.

And as the song says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gh7x_k_GK

►Leoncitos fight like in the jungle: The "leoncitos" of the sectional of the FP in New Jersey maintain a fight between felines, as is usually the case in the African jungle, and that fight seeks to penetrate the litter of "leoncitos" in the "nuevayores" .

Let's see: The dispute is developing between resource$ and leadership, a Garden State source informed us. Flavio Holguín, after being defeated by Máximo Corsino as "boss" in NJ, has decided to take revenge and is doing so through the "political beginner" but with many resources$$$ (vehicle dealer) Henry Abreu to confront Corsino.

The lady of the entity informs us that both Holguín and Abreu frequently travel to the DR to lobby among senior leaders of the organization, very close to the "Lion", to promote a leadership that does not exist.

They say in Paterson and Passaic that "the king of the jungle" must take care of the situation because what they want is to be singled out, because they lack political representation. A citizen in Union City yelled "let them go to work."

►Good job raising US$: A high-ranking source inside the PRM-NY informed “Entérate NY” that the president of the official party, Neftalí Fuerte, did a good job last week from the entity's headquarters in the Bronx, during the 3 days of collecting $$$, clothes, shoes, and coats, among other things, for the victims of the fatal event where 17 people died and 63 were injured, some seriously. It was successful, the source said, requesting confidentiality of his identity.

The DR embassy in Washington and the consulates in NY, Miami, Boston, New Orleans, Chicago, California, Puerto Rico and Montreal, whose consul for the latter is Margarita Pichardo, senior PRM-NY leader, as well as the 3 deputies for constituency 1-USA (Norberto Rodríguez, Servia Iris Familia, and Kenia Bidó) contributed $1,000 dollars each, for a total of $12,000. Several entrepreneurs in the 5 counties contributed the same amount and others in less $.

Several government officials, including the UN, INDEX, Tourism, JCE, and INTRANT, among others, did so with hundreds of dollars. As well as government employees and ordinary citizens, between $100 and $200. It is estimated that the proceeds exceed a little more than US$30,000. But they have politicized the event, they say. Whoops!

►General culture: There are striking cases in which the flags are so equal. Like those of Indonesia and Monaco, the difference is in the size of the cloth. Those of Colombia and Ecuador, the difference is that the last one includes the shield. A similar case -in which you have to sharpen your eyes- is that of Italy and Mexico.

Those of Romania and Chad, of Jordan and Palestine, have many equalities. At the moment, there is no regulation that prevents two countries from having the same flag.

This protects against bacteria and prevents fungi, even in places where they often flourish. It's best to do this trick at night when you use the bathroom less often. Do 2 times a week to make sure the toilet is completely free of mold.
