By Luis Jose Chavez 
MICHES, Dominican Republic .- In 2009, the Venezuelan businessman Gustavo Cisneros Dominican-announced the decision to invest about 2 billion dollars in a sustainable tourism project in the town of Miches, which according to the projections of their group business initially would generate more than 3 000 jobs and more than 14 thousand direct jobs in the long term.
Cisneros's announcement as part of a lunch at the American Chamber of Commerce and in the presence of President Leonel Fernandez could not be more hopeful for a very poor community, but with enough resources to become one of the leading tourist destinations in the country . However, it has been over two years since then and the project progress has been made firm.
Mr. Cisneros has not offered a formal explanation, but Miches to the humblest of the people know that tourism development in this area has been blocked by the poor state of access roads to the community.
The iconic electric experience Las Terrenas
July 11, 2011
In the country's widespread belief that Dominicans are unable to administer a system of adequate generation to meet national energy demand, and also lack a culture of payment to ensure the financial viability of this important service. Add to this the poor performance of the sector's authorities to implement or facilitate various projects to develop alternative sources to reduce dependence on petroleum fuels.
A government unresponsive and distant

For José Luis Chávez.
SANTO DOMINGO .- "In its efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East, President Leonel Fernandez reaffirmed his prestige and international leadership," says columnist recently awarded the national press. He was referring to the recent visit by the Dominican president to the Gaza Strip with the proclaimed purpose of promoting a peaceful solution to the old conflict between Jews and Palestinians.
Fernandez stop in the Middle East was part of an extensive international tour, which included three continents, as a digital newspaper Dominican defined as "a journey through the world with luxury and sheikhs communities."
The other legacy of Peña Gómez
May 10, 2011
When Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez completed his term as trustee of the National District does not own a house or a car in good condition. How many differences with officials in first, second, third and fourth categories are now enriched in the blink of an eye and in many cases not even receive a moral sanction!
Juan Bosch, Joaquin Balaguer and Jose Francisco Pena Gomez, the most transcendent leaders of the Dominican Republic during the second half of the twentieth century, despite their marked differences in many aspects of political action, showed in his life a distinctive common: personal honesty and little attachment to material goods.
A necessary relief to Enmanuel Esquea Guerrero

By Luis Jose Chavez
Is it worth Guerrero Dr. Emmanuel Esquea the infamous punishment of summary expulsion imposed by the Disciplinary Commission of the PRD for its responsible role as referee in the PRD convention of March 6?
You really made Dr. Esquea Guerrero, along with members of the organizing committee who accompanied him, an ethical lapse or as serious disciplinary so that everyone, inside and outside the PRD, as legal and just accept that decision?.
I understand and accept the cautious stance by the PRD's presidential candidate, Hipolito Mejia engineer in connection with this case. After the president's gesture of restraint Party engineer Miguel Vargas, not up to that environment Hipólito conciliation tarnish so necessary to redirect the course to victory in 2012.
The hard work of Miguel Vargas
March 23, 2011
The hard task ahead is to demonstrate that Miguel Vargas efforts made during the internal campaign to capture the support of voters from other parties not really favored him, but ... Hipolito Mejia, and also believe it.
As part of their arguments for not accepting the results of the convention of the PRD, the engineer Miguel Vargas has concentrated all its efforts to show that in the event voted hundreds of thousands of registered voters on the rolls of the LDP, the PRSC and other parties .
Offensive noises
March 21, 2011
The sounds are one of the main factors of environmental pollution in the Dominican Republic.
Santo Domingo has the unenviable privilege to be on the list of the world's noisiest cities, since the noise has become part of everyday life.
It is scientifically established that in addition to reducing hearing and lead to other physical and emotional disorders, noise created serious problems of living in our communities.
Specialized medical reports state that the noise produced deafness, headaches, difficulty sleeping, nervous tension, cardiovascular disease, impaired concentration, increased aggressive tendencies and reduced work productivity.
The big question
March 17, 2011
SANTO DOMINGO .- During the last few days, whenever I encounter a known PLD, I make the million dollar question: How did you managed to get 200 000 PLD in the PRD convention? ...
The first answer I gave a long period of militancy in the PLD. First I laughed as if I had made a joke. Then he became serious and said, "you know that's a story, some explanation must be sought to defeat, but in the LDP knew who would win in the PRD and not just the most fitting for us to us."
The PLD and PRD convention
March 12, 2011
The leading sector in the PRD Miguel Vargas has refused to recognize the results of the last national convention, arguing that voting in the March 6, attended by members of the LDP and other parties that allegedly would have decided the victory for Hipólito Mejía
But the only reason given to justify this position is the suspicion or affirmation without content, because the facts and public evidence say the opposite. As input data it is noteworthy that despite all the warnings made by the group of Vargas on the possible presence of PLD, voting only 872 thousand votes were recorded by both parties observed among more than a million voters. What happened there?
The responsibility of Miguel Vargas
March 10, 2011
The engineer Miguel Vargas Maldonado seems to be at this momentous juncture moment of his political career, because the final decision to take against the results of the recently concluded convention of the Dominican Revolutionary Party, may mark forever the course of his public.
Probably the incumbent president of the PRD is considering making a decision similar to that at the time took other prominent Dominican political leaders, such as Fernando Alvarez Bogaert, when he left the Reform Party, James PRD Majluta when he left to found the Partido Revolucionario Institucional , Eduardo Estrella, of reformism when he resigned to create your own project, and Hatuey De Camps, he broke with the White Party in a separate tent for the Social Democratic Revolutionary Party. Before the teacher had done John Boch, baton and guidance of the PRD, who took 23 years to bring the LDP at the gates of power, but without him and without the values and ideological commitments that led him to make that decision.
