San Pedro de Macorís – The president of the People’s Force, Leonel Fernandezpointed out in this city that the cost of living is too high and “no one can take it,” which is unsustainable in the Dominican Republic.
“Both here in San Pedro, and throughout the Republic, we are concerned, legitimately concerned, about the high cost of living. People approach me in anguish, people approach me without hope, telling me, look, mate, this has reached such a level that in our home we can no longer eat bread with chocolate,” said Leonel Fernández.
He continued his story saying, “I imagine, we have reached that level, yes, to change bread with chocolate to bread with water, and that cannot be tolerated in the Dominican Republic, and it cannot be tolerated because it cannot stand no one”.
The phrase “nobody can stand it” became a refrain that those present sang. “Let the price of rice rise, no one can stand it; the price of meat, no one can stand it; the price of chicken, no one can stand it; the price of eggs, no one can stand it; the price of oil no one can stand it; the price of cod, no one can stand it, the price of herring, no one can stand it; the price of transport, no one can stand it; but to solve it, La Fuerza del Pueblo”, he concluded.
