Barahona.- Miguel Vargas Maldonado warned that politicians in the country have not acted accordingly in relation to the pressing needs of residents in the south of the country, who have been left out of government programs.
Vargas made the statement when leading this Sunday the meeting of leaders of the Enriquillo I and II and El Valle subregions of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD), in this province.
“The people of the South are good, hard-working and the cradle of great intellectuals, but the political class has confused it as a land of saints, because only saints live on promises,” warned the PRD president.
In the act that brought together the PRD leadership of the provinces belonging to these three subregions, their assistants strongly demanded that Miguel Vargas assume the candidacy of this organization for the presidency of the country in the next elections.
“The PRD is obligated to become a true power option to ensure that the South does not continue to be only the subject of promises,” Vargas said.
He added that “the South cannot continue as the Cinderella of national public investment made by governments.”
Vargas also indicated that the development of said region will only materialize when it is guaranteed that the items consigned in the general budget of the nation are fully executed.
