00:00Let's see, the telematutino 11 has started, as always.
00:04I can't find words to thank you for the support you give us,
00:09that intelligent audience that follows us through the telesystem,
00:13but we are also live simultaneously on our YouTube channel.
00:18You can also watch us at any time of the day.
00:20We are also on the internet through the telesystem.
00:25We are in the United States through various platforms.
00:29So we are all over the world.
00:32As always, we have many topics,
00:34some of which you will not hear on any program.
00:37You will not hear them on any program.
00:39Our guest today is Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez,
00:43former senator of the Republic and Secretary of Organization
00:48and member of the Political Direction of the People's Force.
00:54Yesterday, the president of La Semanal complained
00:58that the opposition only criticizes and does not make contributions.
01:05But well, it has been different. It has always been like that.
01:15Historically, what the opposition has done is criticize.
01:21When the PRM was the opposition, that was what it did.
01:26And it made proposals. No.
01:29I remember my two-star friend who came on Wednesdays
01:33and there was nothing positive about the PLD governments.
01:39So, the president came to straighten things out.
01:45The government has to make proposals, or not proposals.
01:49The government has to act. We are tired of proposals.
01:55We have been listening to proposals and projects for five years.
02:01Some have been made, but there is still a lack of promise
02:05from the first four years.
02:08The role of the opposition is to question what has not been done.
02:12However, there are different opponents.
02:17For example, Senator Omar Fernández.
02:21Yesterday, he went to the country
02:24and Omar Fernández has on his folder 11 bills of legislation.
02:30For example, he was very fruitful. He was in the United States
02:33and he met with the people of Amazon.
02:36And they expressed their interest in investing in the Dominican Republic.
02:41But look, we are missing this, this, and this.
02:44It's a series of laws.
02:47Well, Omar Fernández has 11 laws on his folder.
02:51Does he want more proposals than that?
02:55Laws that are part of a legislative program
02:58called More for the Dominican Republic.
03:02Promoting foreign investment in sports.
03:06All those sports fields to train boys.
03:10That moves a lot of money.
03:12And it is important to continue promoting the construction
03:16of parks by companies,
03:21by big league teams.
03:25Promoting electronic sports
03:27and the establishment of special development areas.
03:31That has worked in Costa Rica.
03:34And China is the one that started with special development areas.
03:40And other initiatives like the modification of the Constitutional Court Law,
03:45artificial intelligence, that has to be regulated,
03:49cybersecurity, a law on data protection and administration.
03:54Anyway, Omar Fernández is making proposals.
04:00So, Mr. President, it's not like that.
04:01The opposition not only criticizes,
04:04but there are leaders like Omar Fernández
04:08who are making proposals.
04:12The PLD seems like it's going to start early.
04:15But as the Dominican people say,
04:17no matter how early you get up, you get there.
04:21Yesterday, we had a guest,
04:24Secretary General Johnny Pujols.
04:28And more or less he was ahead.
04:30He didn't want to go into detail, but he said,
04:32well, when I get out of here,
04:34we're going to the meeting of the political committee that's going to deal with this issue.
04:38They are already, in the first quarter of 2026,
04:42that is, next year,
04:45they are going to launch the pre-candidates.
04:49And already in 2026,
04:51by the system that Danilo Medina says,
04:56a candidate is going to come out
04:58who is going to be ratified in 2027.
05:02Because it's in 2027.
05:04But it turns out that what they were doing in the bank is in 2026.
05:07That violates the party law and the law of the electoral regime.
05:13The board tolerated it
05:16in the past electoral process
05:18because they, in 1922,
05:21made a supposed consultation
05:25to get their candidate out.
05:28And the board committed the crime of sponsoring that.
05:33But the board, very early on,
05:35issued a statement now,
05:37not several weeks ago,
05:39pointing out what the dates are.
05:44That is, in 2026,
05:45there can't be a pre-candidate already in the campaign.
05:48Nor in 2026, by the method you want,
05:51you can't get a candidate out.
05:54In addition, that doesn't guarantee anything.
05:57They got the candidate out in 2022.
06:04And how many did they get out?
06:07They got 20.
06:08They got 30, right?
06:10Leonel got 30 and he got 10.2.
06:13So the problem is not the time.
06:16The problem is how the party structure works
06:20and how that candidate connects
06:24first with the party
06:26and then with the electorate.
06:29It's not a problem of dawn,
06:31but, well, that's a PLD problem.
06:36Gentlemen, despite the efforts of the president
06:40and Farid al-Rafoul,
06:42the cave still prevails
06:46in the national police.
06:49The cave still prevails.
06:54On the night of February 20,
06:57the young 22-year-old John Reyes,
07:01the father of a child, was arrested.
07:03He left his house
07:04and, with a friend, was arrested
07:06in a raid by the national police.
07:10To find out,
07:12his mother, Ana María Reyes,
07:14looked for him tirelessly.
07:18She made a tour of all the blocks
07:21of Santo Domingo Oeste,
07:25but she found his body,
07:28unrecognizable,
07:29in the morgue of El Nacif.
07:31The police arrested him
07:33and the police murdered him.
07:38No matter how academic,
07:40no matter how uniform,
07:42the cave is still there.
07:44It is still a criminal's nest.
07:49There is no security.
07:49A young man comes out
07:51and is caught in a raid.
07:53At least he had the money for the toll,
07:55because that raid is to collect tolls,
07:59and he was killed.
08:03I hope that Farid al-Rafoul,
08:04the Minister of the Interior,
08:07detects and punishes
08:10and submits to ordinary justice
08:12these murderers.
08:14They got to the extreme
08:15that the mother
08:17went to the detachment
08:19of the Cabo Venerera
08:21and threatened her and her son.
08:25They told her, shut up,
08:28or you and your son will go too.
08:31Gentlemen, that is still
08:32the national police.
08:36What must be done,
08:38those who defend the rights,
08:39those who protect the citizen,
08:41they kill, they threaten.
08:46So, the police reform
08:48still doesn't seem to work,
08:52or they haven't taken us
08:54out of the cave of the national police.
08:58On the other hand,
09:00officially, yesterday,
09:02President Donald Trump
09:04announced 25% arrangements
09:07for Mexico and Canada.
09:11He had already put an arrangement
09:13for all the countries,
09:15steel and aluminum,
09:18and now he added another 10%
09:21to China's imports.
09:25One would say,
09:26and that affects the Dominican Republic?
09:28Yes, it affects the global economy.
09:32How does it affect the Dominican economy?
09:36Well, Canada and Mexico
09:40are going to the recession.
09:4480% of Mexico's exports
09:47go to the United States,
09:49because they signed a free trade agreement,
09:51the NAFTA, which Trump modified
09:55in 2018 and became the T-MEX.
09:59He broke with that.
10:03What's happening?
10:05Or what is happening?
10:07That is, a devaluation
10:09of Mexico's and Canada's currency
10:12to reduce their impact.
10:16If I devalue my currency,
10:18I will lower my exports,
10:21and as a consequence,
10:22that 25% will be a little less hard.
10:25But it will be hard.
10:27But it will be hard for the American consumer.
10:32Because we are talking about companies
10:33that export vehicles
10:35and that export parts
10:37from a distribution chain
10:43that is based in the United States industry.
10:46That's where the nearshoring came from.
10:49That is, with the problems of the pandemic
10:54and the blockages in the Chinese ports,
10:59and remember how the price of a container
11:02was multiplied,
11:04many companies settled in Mexico.
11:06American companies,
11:09also Chinese companies.
11:10Well, now the nearshoring, forget it.
11:14However, here we are still talking,
11:16the President of the United States
11:17is still talking about the nearshoring.
11:19The nearshoring of Sapa died
11:21because Trump wants companies
11:23to settle in the United States,
11:25not in Mexico, not in Colombia,
11:28not in the Dominican Republic,
11:29not anywhere, in the United States.
11:33But well, what does it affect us?
11:35By devaluing the Mexican currency,
11:37tourism is going to get cheaper.
11:41Our tourism is more expensive.
11:43The Dominican Republic is an expensive country.
11:45If Mexican tourism is cheap,
11:48Mexico is our main competitor.
11:51That is, the Mexican Caribbean
11:54is the main competitor
11:55of Dominican tourism.
11:58So more tourists are going to go
12:00to Mexico for a price issue,
12:02and that can affect us.
12:04But Canada is going into a recession.
12:07After the United States,
12:09the main emitter of tourists
12:11to the Dominican Republic is Canada.
12:14So if there is a recession in Canada,
12:17fewer Canadians are going to travel,
12:19and fewer Canadians are going to come
12:21to the Dominican Republic.
12:23But even more,
12:26the United States is going into a recession
12:28with this Trump measure.
12:30Yesterday I gave you the scoop
12:32that the Federal Reserve of Atlanta
12:35predicted a fall of minus 1.5
12:40in the GDP of the United States
12:42this quarter.
12:44If the product falls in the United States,
12:47jobs are lost,
12:48and there is less income for the people,
12:50but there is also less income
12:52for the Dominicans.
12:53So less remittances,
12:55or the remittances are going to slow down.
12:58The impact of a measure at any point
13:02affects all countries.
13:04This Trump measure is going to affect
13:06the global economy,
13:07because there was a war of remittances.
13:09Canada already said,
13:10I'm going to give remittances
13:12to the North American producers,
13:15and Mexico too,
13:16and China too.
13:19It already said that in April
13:20remittances will come to agricultural products.
13:22It said to the North American producers,
13:24get ready!
13:25Joy!
13:27We are going to get something from it,
13:29of oranges,
13:31but Europe is going to be the next victim.
13:36The Great Recession
13:38had one of its points,
13:40protectionism,
13:42and the trade wars.
13:45Many people who voted for Trump
13:47are already regretful,
13:50because prices are increasing,
13:54and there will be a recession.
13:56On the other hand, to conclude,
13:58I want to conclude with good news,
14:01because not everything has to be bad news.
14:03We have to share joy, culture.
14:07It turns out that,
14:08let's play the video,
14:10there is a famous director,
14:13Italian,
14:15who is retired,
14:16and who lives in the Dominican Republic,
14:19in Casa de Campo.
14:23He discovered a talented boy
14:26in Vallaguana,
14:29named Samuel Garcia,
14:33and he got him an ABEC,
14:34and sent him to Italy
14:37to study for two years.
14:39And now,
14:40he is taking him by the hand.
14:42That Dominican boy from Vallaguana,
14:45that is in Switzerland,
14:47the boy is a talent on the piano.
14:50Thanks to the fact that he was discovered
14:52by someone who helped him.
14:56Today, that boy
14:58has an extraordinary future.
15:01I want us to hear him playing
15:03in the ear
15:06a piece by Bach.
15:08In the ear, that is, without a score.
15:12Let's see how that boy,
15:14that boy from Vallaguana,
15:16plays that piano.
15:46What a prodigy that boy from Vallaguana is!
16:15He was lucky that a laureate director
16:20who retired to the Dominican Republic
16:23discovered him.
16:25He sent him to Italy for two years,
16:28and the boy is touring all of Europe.
16:31Can you imagine the amount of mathematical geniuses,
16:35of physical geniuses,
16:37of biology geniuses,
16:39in any area in the Dominican Republic,
16:42and that, unfortunately,
16:44because that is a work of the state,
16:47to detect those genius boys
16:49and send them abroad?
16:52The geniuses in computer science,
16:55in artificial intelligence,
16:57that with you sending them to Silicon Valley,
17:00listen, you have a product there
17:03to contribute to the development of the country.
17:05But how good,
17:06Samuel García from Vallaguana,
17:08was discovered,
17:10and he is called to be a great musician
17:13famous internationally.
17:16I wanted to finish with this,
17:18because this cannot be bad news,
17:20and this is good news.
17:22We are going to commercials.
17:24Don't miss the interview with Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez,
17:27former senator of the Republic,
17:29secretary of organization,
17:31and political director of the People's Forces.
17:43Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez,
17:45former senator of the Republic,
17:47secretary of organization,
17:49and political director of the People's Forces.
18:13The interview with Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez,
18:16secretary of organization,
18:18and political director of the People's Forces.
18:22The interview with Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez,
18:25secretary of organization,
18:27and political director of the People's Forces.
18:40The interview with Telemadutino 11,
18:42an important agent,
18:43to deal with important issues,
18:45is a veteran of politics.
18:47He was Minister of Health,
18:48of the Environment,
18:50and senator on several occasions,
18:52for the province of Salcedo.
18:54He is currently secretary of organization,
18:56and member of the Political Direction
18:58of the People's Forces.
19:00Very well known,
19:01Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez.
19:03Thank you very much.
19:05Bauta, as we call our friends.
19:07Thank you for accepting the invitation.
19:09It's an honor to be with you here.
19:12We are out of the air,
19:15and I want Bauta to share this,
19:17because as a result of the case of the young man
19:19that we presented,
19:21Prodigio del Piano,
19:23in which I commented that how many values
19:25there must be hidden in the Dominican Republic.
19:27But in Salcedo,
19:29there is a project that I did not know,
19:31that has discovered talents.
19:33Tell us about it.
19:34That's right.
19:35It is in the province.
19:36In the province.
19:37It is located in the territory
19:39of the municipality of Villatapia.
19:40It is the scientific high school
19:42Miguel Canela Lázaro.
19:44I told him that one of the fundamental
19:47values of the academy,
19:50of the Ministry of Education,
19:54of the Ministry of Higher Education,
19:57and of what we work with the different
20:00societies,
20:02is to promote the project.
20:05That was an effort of the province,
20:09of the institutions that work there.
20:12That high school,
20:14which first recruited the best students
20:16of the province,
20:18and now all the students of the province
20:21have an admission exam, of course.
20:24The teaching is based on the STEAM model,
20:28where science, mathematics,
20:32engineering,
20:34the area that has to do with cultural issues,
20:39are the foundations of that education.
20:43And I told him that we have achieved
20:47that the best universities in the world
20:50have captured talents.
20:52And there are talents that,
20:54I think one of them was awarded
20:56now in the Youth Award,
20:58a young man from Villatapia
21:01who studied at Harvard.
21:04He is a medical scientist,
21:07that is, he took the area of neuroscience.
21:10And he is a brilliant young man,
21:13captured by that university
21:16and by that society.
21:18Yes, because if there is no way here,
21:20they will leave us.
21:21Exactly, they will lose him.
21:23So, like that young man,
21:24I told him off camera,
21:26we have hundreds and thousands
21:28in the Dominican Republic
21:30that we must pay attention to,
21:32because that is what will consolidate
21:35our society.
21:37We must pay attention to those values
21:41that in some way,
21:43well, we saw it with the winner of the Oscar,
21:47with Zoe Saldana.
21:49She is proud to be Dominican
21:51and to what level we are placing ourselves.
21:55So, that search for talent
21:58must be a permanent concern
22:01for the national educational system.
22:04I say, well,
22:07to have good teachers,
22:10good students,
22:12we must have good teachers.
22:14So, that way
22:17that one asks in the UAS,
22:18teacher evaluation,
22:21we must insist on our educational system.
22:25A good evaluation,
22:28a constant, permanent training,
22:32because finally, education
22:35is the only guarantee
22:37that we have to achieve development.
22:40Bautista, going to the President's speech,
22:44he says that infant mortality has been reduced,
22:49that we are leaders,
22:50recognized worldwide,
22:52in the treatment of dengue.
22:54Dozens of primary care centers have been built,
23:00hospitals have been remodeled,
23:03the HEARTS program, nothing.
23:06If the President gave a few strokes
23:08to a health system,
23:10frankly, progress.
23:12However, yesterday,
23:13in his presentation,
23:15every Monday,
23:17in front of the media,
23:19he launched a program
23:21where he practically relaunched
23:25HEARTS,
23:27and many activities,
23:29in order to reduce the mortality
23:32of chronic, non-transmissible diseases,
23:35diseases of infant and maternal mortality.
23:44In other words,
23:45he is launching new programs.
23:47So, success is undisputed.
23:49If things are going well,
23:51you say it,
23:52five days ago he said
23:54that things are going wonderfully well,
23:56there is no reason to be investing
23:58in new programs.
24:00More than new programs,
24:01what we need is action.
24:03And I'm going to tell you,
24:05I want to see the moment
24:08when we are not announcing
24:10that we are building hospitals,
24:12that we are building
24:14new health centers,
24:16and the indicators remain the same.
24:19If the mortality has not decreased.
24:21Success, I think, in health,
24:23as in all things,
24:25has to be marked by indicators.
24:28And we have to talk about indicators.
24:30I said, even yesterday,
24:33I referred to this,
24:35because the day before his speech,
24:37he inaugurated a hospital,
24:40a traumatology hospital in Ashford.
24:42However,
24:44one of the people in charge
24:46of the health services
24:48says that this hospital
24:50will be providing services
24:52a few times later,
24:54because staff must be trained,
24:56because without plans,
24:59there are no achievements.
25:02And you are supposed
25:05to build a health establishment.
25:09When it is at a level
25:11of conclusion,
25:13the human resource,
25:16has to be recruited
25:18to be in a process of immersion
25:20two or three months before,
25:22to know the teams
25:24that will manage each area,
25:26to know the rules,
25:28the protocols
25:30that will be used
25:32in the service
25:34that will be offered
25:36to the community,
25:38so that once you inaugurate,
25:40you are inaugurating
25:42a health establishment
25:44with the availability
25:46to immediately enter the service.
25:48That is,
25:50not to start recruiting staff
25:52after the inauguration,
25:54to see if they want to go,
25:56to see if this.
25:58I see a lack of plans,
26:00that even manifests itself
26:02with the health city,
26:04Luis Gerardo Aybar.
26:06Four years and six months later,
26:08a hospital that was ready
26:10at 95%,
26:12is not giving
26:14the service of the community.
26:16Why?
26:18Because five or six years ago,
26:20the units of primary care
26:22were supposed to be strengthened,
26:24satellite,
26:26to that third-level establishment.
26:28A year before
26:30to conclude,
26:32how was it?
26:34When the past government gave in,
26:36the human resource
26:38was supposed to be recruited,
26:40and there are already teams
26:42that are disqualified.
26:44Obsolete already.
26:46No, no, that is,
26:48they did not come to use,
26:50that is,
26:52as
26:54intervening areas
26:56that were already concluded.
26:58So, like this,
27:00without plans,
27:02we are not going to get anywhere.
27:04You saw that you did not mention
27:06this time the hospital
27:08regional. Why?
27:10Because they wanted to inaugurate it by stage.
27:12You are an engineer,
27:14you know that there are
27:16establishments,
27:18those of education,
27:20and especially those
27:22of health, that you cannot
27:24inaugurate a stage, the first
27:26and second level, and continue working
27:28in the fourth, third, fourth, fifth level,
27:30with people inside.
27:32That is,
27:34not only that,
27:36the level of pollution that would be generated
27:38would be unbearable.
27:40So you can't be
27:42thinking,
27:44offering to inaugurate
27:46hospitals by stage,
27:48just like if you have a school
27:50of 20 classrooms, you can't
27:52inaugurate 8 classrooms in advance
27:54to continue building the others.
27:5620 classrooms are required.
27:58And this is
28:00a country and a government
28:02that handles without plans.
28:04You said,
28:06and you heard, I heard it,
28:08because I heard the speech completely,
28:10that
28:12he referred to health issues,
28:14and yesterday, five days
28:16later, he is presenting
28:18plans to reduce
28:20maternal mortality, infant mortality,
28:22and to promote
28:24those programs aimed
28:26at controlling chronic
28:28diseases. For example,
28:30that hypertensive patients,
28:32diabetics
28:34don't become hypertensive,
28:36and much less don't reach
28:38a chronic kidney failure.
28:40Because, as it was done
28:42before, I have to tell you,
28:44as I was Minister of Health,
28:46we had
28:48about 500,000
28:50chronic patients,
28:52who received their
28:54medications at home
28:56every month.
28:58And if they didn't withdraw them
29:00to the primary care center,
29:02we would go and look for them.
29:04At the time,
29:06we followed
29:08pregnancy in such a way
29:10that if a
29:12mother didn't attend
29:14her regular check-up,
29:16a health promoter would go
29:18to her community, to her house,
29:20to see why she hadn't gone to the check-up.
29:22And he would educate her
29:24in order to be checked,
29:26about the importance of the prenatal check-up.
29:28In other words,
29:30everything is written, everything is standardized.
29:32We have to dedicate ourselves
29:34to applying the rules and protocols
29:36that have been
29:38used for a long time
29:40in the health system
29:42of the Dominican Republic.
29:44We haven't advanced in health.
29:46I can tell you that we haven't advanced.
29:48And we haven't advanced
29:50not because we haven't built
29:52hospitals, but because we haven't
29:54accomplished something that we haven't
29:56accomplished, which is to develop
29:58the primary care strategy,
30:00to open
30:02or to make
30:04the health system have
30:06an entrance door, but for people
30:08to trust that entrance door,
30:10so that when Ramón Núñez Ramírez
30:12understands
30:14that he's going to see a cardiologist,
30:16it's because he's referred
30:18to a primary care doctor,
30:20a common citizen,
30:22who,
30:24if he has
30:26high blood pressure,
30:28he himself goes to the cardiologist,
30:30he goes to the gynecologist,
30:32or to the endocrinologist,
30:34or to the diabetologist.
30:36There has to be
30:38an entrance door
30:40that detects all that.
30:42And from the very first level
30:44of care, one has to
30:46decongest
30:48the other centers
30:50and make a unique experience
30:52for the patient.
30:54An experience that serves
30:56in Salcedo,
30:58that serves in Santo Domingo,
31:00but that serves in the United States.
31:02All these things
31:04are on paper, they are long-term plans,
31:06which was what motivated...
31:08And that's easy with a platform.
31:10Of course, it was what motivated
31:12the separation of functions,
31:14but the separation of functions
31:16has not been understood.
31:18It was positive.
31:20You were the first
31:22to take away your powers.
31:24No, no.
31:26We made the law,
31:28but that's relative,
31:30taking away your powers, Ramón.
31:32Because power doesn't give you
31:34the amount of budget you manage,
31:36but the leadership you have
31:38and the understanding of the issues.
31:40You don't need to manage
31:42the economic portfolio
31:44of the health system
31:46for you to exercise leadership,
31:48to watch from the rector's side,
31:50which is the Ministry of Health,
31:52because the health programs
31:54are fulfilled,
31:56because the rules
31:58and protocols are applied
32:00in the health services.
32:02That's what corresponds to it.
32:04But for that,
32:06a lot of knowledge is required,
32:08but above all,
32:10a lot of leadership.
32:12We are going to a part
32:14We are going to a commercial break.
32:16In the next segment,
32:18we are going to talk about the party,
32:20which is stuck in a whole process
32:22and other issues of national interest.
32:24But with the health part,
32:26the focus was interesting.
32:28We'll be back in a few minutes
32:30with Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez.
32:44We'll be back in a few minutes.
32:46We'll be back in a few minutes.
33:12We continue with Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez
33:14in the first segment.
33:16We focus the president's speech
33:18on the health part.
33:20We go now to the party.
33:22The party ended on Sunday,
33:24we are going to say the last section,
33:26the last part of the Congress,
33:28of the second Franken-America Congress.
33:30Now it enters the electoral congress
33:32Manolo Tavares Justo.
33:34How long and what does it imply?
33:36Because we see that there are,
33:38for example, several aspirants
33:40to the Secretary General.
33:42How is this internal campaign
33:44going to be managed?
33:46How long does it have?
33:48When do you expect it to end?
33:50And to say,
33:52we have a directive,
33:54it's over, let's go to the streets.
33:56That's right.
33:58I think the most interesting thing
34:00has happened.
34:02Six months, almost seven months
34:04of work in the Congress
34:06that strengthened
34:08the legal skeleton
34:10of the party.
34:12That is,
34:14it gave it
34:16the necessary instruments
34:18so that we can
34:20study, know,
34:22disseminate,
34:24not only
34:26what is the declaration of principle
34:28of the party, its statute,
34:30its organizational line,
34:32its national and international
34:34political line,
34:36its opposition line,
34:38its municipal policy.
34:40In short, 35 very rich documents
34:42that this Congress
34:44produced
34:46that will be fundamental
34:48for us if we build
34:50an ideologically
34:52party
34:54in a way
34:56that our militants,
34:58our leaders,
35:00know
35:02where they are,
35:04know what they are going to do,
35:06and above all, know
35:08what the strategic line is,
35:10where we are going
35:12and what we are going to do.
35:14Well, on Sunday,
35:16the Electoral Congress of Manolo Tavares
35:18was opened.
35:20Tomorrow, Wednesday,
35:22we have the first
35:24meeting of the Electoral
35:26Commission.
35:28It happens that the Electoral Commission
35:30is an institution
35:32within the party
35:34that is mandated by the Law of Political Parties.
35:36The Electoral
35:38Commission was the same
35:40that worked for the
35:42candidacy of the candidates
35:44in the year 2024.
35:46It has not been
35:48modified, and that Electoral
35:50Commission
35:52will produce
35:54the documents,
35:56one, the instruction
35:58of how the Electoral Congress
36:00will be established, and two,
36:02the regulations that will
36:04regulate this Electoral Congress.
36:06That's why we don't have,
36:08we think it will end in April,
36:10but we still don't have a clear description
36:12of how
36:14all this is going to be developed.
36:16But it has not been defined
36:18who is going to vote.
36:20Yes, yes.
36:22The statutes establish
36:24that the presidents
36:26and the base directors are the leaders
36:28of the bases
36:30that
36:32can intervene.
36:34We
36:36made a cut
36:38of the pattern of the
36:40presidents and base directors
36:42that were duly audited
36:44on Sunday
36:46night,
36:48Sunday 8th.
36:50So that's the pattern that will be used
36:52for the model
36:54that is decided. There are several models,
36:56but that starts from
36:58the president and the base director,
37:00which is the universe
37:02of voters. There are
37:04more than 80,000 presidents
37:06and base directors that we have
37:08duly identified, audited
37:10and located throughout the national
37:12geography.
37:14So,
37:16how is it going to be done?
37:18Until when?
37:20How many levels of election will there be?
37:22Tomorrow we will start
37:24working on it, and I hope that
37:26will be concluded this
37:28same week, that
37:30the Central Direction of the party
37:32will be convened,
37:34which is the one that authorizes
37:36that this be the
37:38regulation that will
37:40regulate the
37:42work for the electoral congress.
37:44We aspire that
37:46in the same way
37:48that we had a successful congress
37:50for the area
37:52of the regulation of the party's
37:54functioning,
37:56we have a
37:58successful congress,
38:00because we are going to elect
38:02all our leaders,
38:04the president of the party, the vice-president,
38:06the secretary-general,
38:08the provincial, municipal
38:10presidents of the municipal districts,
38:12and already in the municipalities,
38:14once
38:16the municipal president
38:18is elected,
38:20the vice-president of the municipal district is elected,
38:22the presidential of the municipal district is elected,
38:24this conforms to the municipal directorate,
38:26and other leaders are already elected,
38:28locally.
38:30The municipal vice-president is elected,
38:32the municipal secretary-general,
38:34the one in the organization,
38:36the one for the electoral,
38:38the one for the finances,
38:40all the municipal team.
38:42But in the political or central direction,
38:44this will not go to election?
38:46No, the central direction will go to election,
38:48The political leadership, as well as the secretariat, you know, is chosen by the Central Committee.
38:54In other words, the political leadership is chosen by the Central Committee.
38:58The secretariat of the party, the organic and the non-organic, is also chosen by the Central Committee.
39:08Bautista, there is not a war of surveys, because the role of the war of surveys has to be among several.
39:15But there are a series of very defined surveys that show a pre-candidate of the PRM,
39:22a street winner in his party, but also, he has already won at the national level, that David Collado.
39:29But also those surveys present Omar Fernández in a better position than Leonel Fernández.
39:36What opinions do you deserve in those surveys?
39:38Well, I think that it is very good for the strength of the people to have two figures of the first order,
39:49and that they are aspired by the Dominican people. I wish there were four or five,
39:55but that they really are aspired by the Dominican people.
40:00Not that they are saying that I want to be, because I have not heard Omar say that he wants to be,
40:05and I have not heard Leonel say that he wants to be.
40:09I, the opinion that I deserve in those surveys, is the one that I deserve,
40:15especially from the government party, which stimulates and tells us that we would be idiots,
40:27naive, if we did not choose Omar Fernández as our candidate.
40:32That is, they want to help us choose our presidential candidate, and it is not like that.
40:37Are you going to wait for the 27th?
40:40No, the party will decide when.
40:44That has not been discussed, and the Dominican people permanently have Leonel in their mouth,
40:51Omar in their mouth, and hopefully there will be some more,
40:54because whatever it is, we are going to win the elections.
41:00Now, if you ask me, as you are asking me individually,
41:05I have my point of view.
41:07I believe that the moment, as the Dominican people say,
41:12they are going to leave the country in four blocks.
41:14I say no, in eight blocks, mounted in eight blocks.
41:17This is a total mess where we are, and how are they going to leave the country?
41:23So, I am of the opinion that the Dominican Republic requires a statesman with proven experience,
41:32who has taken the country on other occasions, as he took it in 2004, and he raised it, he rescued it.
41:39I believe that the candidate who aspires and who is going to aspire to the Dominican people is Leonel Fernández,
41:47so that he rescues them, so that he gives them hope,
41:50gives them security on the path that he is going to take, as he did in the past.
41:56We believe that this is going to be the case, but we do not have the uncertainty,
42:03nor do we have the shame, because we did an event last Sunday,
42:09where Omar was, where Leonel was,
42:12and Omar did not pull his people for the deputies who were there, the senators,
42:18the members of the political board, those who are with me,
42:22as they did, that they lacked respect, not for the president,
42:27who was the figure of that day,
42:30but for the solemnity of an event that commands the constitution of the republic,
42:38that on February 27, the president of the republic,
42:42in front of the joint meeting of the House of Representatives and the Senate,
42:46gives account of his management, although he does not give account of his management,
42:53but he is going to promise things,
42:55because these presidential aspirants did it worse,
42:59if they do it now that they are aspirants,
43:01because when they are president, that will be,
43:05because they do not know that there is a constitution here,
43:08and that this constitution commands activities like February 27,
43:15that have to be respected.
43:17That is not a proselytistic activity,
43:19but historically we have always seen that the protocol,
43:23when these people govern, is not respected.
43:27Bautista Rojas Gómez,
43:29I thank you very much for your participation and the topics discussed,
43:34which are basically all the topics of national interest.
43:38We hope soon.
43:39Thank you, thank you.
43:41I had one left, Bautista, we are going to win the elections.
43:44Now, the problem is that in February there is a great test.
43:48On the 32nd they go together, but on the 28th the municipalities go in February.
43:53So, we have to win in February, or do a good job in February to win in May.
43:59That is, La Fuerza de Pueblo is preparing that local leadership,
44:02regardless of whether there is an agreement or not in the position.
44:06We are preparing for that.
44:08Once we conclude the electoral congress,
44:12the secretariat that I coordinate, whether I am in that secretariat or not,
44:17will initiate the mandate of the organizational line.
44:21We will have 18, 19,000 organizations around each electoral college
44:30two years before the elections in February.
44:34And that will be the guarantee.
44:37But with the proposal we will make, the municipal proposal and the presidential proposal,
44:44I have full confidence that the crisis in which this government has assumed the country,
44:52the need to stabilize prices,
44:56the need for the growth of the economy to be reflected in the poorest,
45:04the need for people to be able to access quality and good-priced drugs,
45:10the need for people to be able to build their little ranches, improve their homes,
45:15the need for people to have access to quality employment,
45:20and the need for us to improve the situation of industry and agriculture in our country.
45:27That crisis will obligatorily make the people demand a redeemer.
45:35That did not happen in 2004.
45:38I believe that we will win the elections in February with our local candidates
45:43and with Leonel Fernández we will win in May of 2028.
45:48Once again, thank you very much Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez.
45:51We are leaving, like every Tuesday, we have Dr. Luz Rosa Estrella
45:56with her segment of psychology aimed at the family.
46:00Greetings.
46:02Today I want to talk to you about something that is already a trend,
46:07it has become fashionable, it is already a wave,
46:10which is this egocentric behavior,
46:14egocentrism.
46:16This ego, this super ego,
46:19and unfortunately it is taking more and more momentum.
46:24This condition that leads the person to be uncomfortable
46:31to be next to a person that you have to be applauding,
46:36that you have to be praising,
46:38that you always have to be approving,
46:41and that is considered that it is the person who knows the most,
46:46that it is the one who has to be listened to,
46:48it is being generated in itself,
46:51that existential emptiness,
46:55that distancing,
46:57because precisely this condition,
47:02what it does is that it moves away,
47:04it moves away because the person is feeling that he is superior to others
47:10and even falls into a subject of mistreatment.
47:14Every time there is the subject,
47:16you can also see it on social networks,
47:19many media, many artists,
47:24the truth is that they promote this type of behavior a lot
47:28and it is also seen a lot in adolescents.
47:31And how interesting that we could know that sometimes
47:35the more we want to demonstrate
47:39how to be and be superior,
47:42the only thing we are reflecting is a complex of inferiority
47:47and we are, instead of filling ourselves with substance,
47:52we are filling ourselves with emptiness,
47:55we are filling ourselves with nothing.
47:58And in the end, what is happening?
48:01That it is almost a self-boycott,
48:04it is a self-damage,
48:06because that I am above,
48:09because I am more than,
48:11it is not only inhuman,
48:13it is not only antisocial,
48:16it also reflects an incredible internal emptiness.
48:21So there is an interesting call for us to know
48:26that this famous fashion is not so naive,
48:33nor is it so little harmful,
48:35it is very harmful.
48:37And more than harmful to those around us,
48:41to those who are undervalued,
48:44it is more for ourselves
48:47that instead of being that friendly, kind person,
48:51we are becoming an inaccessible person,
48:55an unapproachable person,
48:58to whom I can't even give love.
49:01That's it.
49:02I invite you to be closer to people,
49:05to be equal to each other,
49:07and with a lot of respect.
49:09We continue with Telematutino 11.
49:35Telematutino 11
49:50Almost to say goodbye,
49:51I received information from the last minute,
49:53from a distinguished economist,
49:56I will not be able to say his name,
49:58of a bill that was submitted
50:05by none other than Rogelio Henao.
50:10That is the son of Rogelio Henao.
50:12A bill that modifies the regimes of exemptions
50:16and tax privileges.
50:18It is a kind of tax mini-reform.
50:21Gentlemen,
50:22at a time when the United States
50:25is giving facilities to its companies
50:28and recording those exported to the United States.
50:32We are going to touch on incentives
50:35without having done a previous study.
50:37We are going crazy.
50:40We don't realize what is happening
50:43at a global level.
50:46That is to say,
50:47Trump is recording,
50:50punishing the producers who are abroad,
50:53because he wants the companies
50:55to return to the United States
50:57and thus reduce the commercial deficit.
51:00So we are here now with an invention.
51:03The tax reform failed,
51:05which eliminated many,
51:07this project of the young congressman
51:09Rogelio Henao,
51:10that hopefully,
51:11hopefully not,
51:12that is going to fail.
51:14We can step now
51:15in eliminating exemptions
51:18and put tariffs
51:20at this very moment.
51:22With that we say goodbye
51:24and God willing,
51:25see you tomorrow.
