Fernandez’s contradictions

Writing today in the Que Se Dice column in Hoy, news commentator Claudio Acosta says that it is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile the image that President Leonel Fernandez seeks to project to the world, on the international stage where he seems to feel more comfortable, with the other image of wasteful ruler, who has no qualms about appointing 80 useless vice consuls to our foreign service for the sole purpose of satisfying political patronage desires.

“Who would guess, hearing him speak so articulately against global speculation in international forums, that the same ‘anything goes’ ruling applies at home, where priority is given to politics even if it means degrading our institutions,” he asks.

“How to explain that this is same statesman who appeals to the international community to address speculation in the prices of oil and food and has not moved a single finger of his mighty hand to prosecute and punish the corruption that robs us of so many opportunities for development?

“Who would believe that he refuses, with arguments that go on a tangent, to enforce the law that allocates a minimum of 4% of GDP to education?

“There was a time when his convincing words did not allow for these flagrant inconsistencies to be seen, or the frequent divorce between his words and his deeds, between his speeches and actions and omissions, but time, relentless time, does not spare even governments, especially when they are out of sync with the governed, until one day we realize that the charm has passed. The disappointment is so well reflected in the most recent polls.”

Is this the best picture of a failed President?

Increased corruption allegations have continued since his return to power in 2004 and subsequent reelection in 2008. These have led in several instances to media reports and investigations that have exposed illegal activities by high ranking officials within his government, and a public outcry for more action to be taken to control corruption. Many of the government officials that are exposed in the media are not removed from the administration or prosecuted, but moved to other positions of power different from the ones in which they are being exposed.

In February 2011 Fernandez was subpoenaed by a court in Spain, in connection with a huge real state fraud, involving the construction of a large number of houses in both Spain and the Dominican Republic, but that were never actually constructed, having investors defrauded, and in which the Dominican president had participated by providing his political sponsorship.

Another major real estate scandal involved drug money and was portrayed by the President as a “model for investments in his country” even the former police general Fermin had an apartment in this project.

Kings of Corruption, Dominican Senator Felix Bautista “Dirty” as expected, UPDATE 2

Breaking News!! – Nuria confirms that Felix Bautista of the PLD is just another corrupt scumbag and close friend of the useless Dominican president Leonel Fernandez. Dominican Investigative Journalist Nuria Piera has uncovered at least US$2.5 million in kickbacks received by President Michel Martelly, from a Dominican construction firm owned by Dominican Senator Felix Bautista……. Update: The truth hurts, but Felix was a nobody before Leonel became president, in a few years he has become a multi million dollar businessman, where did all that money come from!!!  

The are only two questions left: How did Felix Bautista (a shirt tailor from DR a few years back!!!) manage to get most of the entire reconstruction budget of USD 500 Million for Haiti? And who did he share all that money with??? No wonder Haiti is moving nowhere!!!

UPDATE 2: April 9, 2012 – Nuria protests visits and raids by state intelligence
