Santo Domingo.-  National deputy Fidelio Despradel on Fri. slammed Finance minister, Donald Guerrero’s statements, in which justifies Dominican Republic’s increasingly high levels of corruption.

“Stop justifying your successive deficitary budgets, the loans to balance them, the rampant corruption, and that impunity that offends the nation and an oligarchy, a handful of billionaires, who do what they want in this country!,” said Despradel in an open letter to Guerrero.

The lawmaker of the Alianza País party said Guerrero and members of the ruling party (PLD) have sought to justify the debts acquired after the “deviations of money.”
