Santiago. – President Luis Abinader held a meeting with community members and volunteers from the Civil Defense, Red Cross and Fire Department, where he stated that he will continue to listen to all sectors to solve the problems of people throughout the country.

The president, who was accompanied by Vice President Raquel Peña, said he was happy and proud to begin his first day of work with the sectors that work day after day to address atmospheric events in the country.
Abinader and meetings in the communities
The president also stressed that during his first four years he met in every place to listen to the real problems that arose in each province of the Dominican Republic.
He pointed out that during the meetings, large-scale projects were proposed and that what people expected were several small projects that would solve large problems. He also said that work would be done on the small projects through the municipalities.
The Head of State stated that mass transportation works are being carried out in Santiago, noting the completion of the cable car and the construction of the Monorail, which must be combined according to the system and the flow of transportation.
End of work
He also said that part of the Gurabo ravine has already been completed and that the other part is still missing to conclude the sanitation process.
The ruler indicated that in these four years his intention is to leave an intangible legacy. These are the strengthening of democracy with the reform that will be presented next Monday.
