“If they don't want to believe me, I invite them to go to Moscoso Puello and see that the satisfaction level of that hospital is a kind of slaughterhouse,” where people arrive at the emergency room and have to stay on a stretcher, added the congressman.

He also indicated that the town's pharmacies have disappeared, so in that assessment they don't even reach 30 points.

“If we talk about the 9-11 emergency system, that's where the government gets burned badly, because we are all witnesses to the level of decline that 911 has had in these five years of government,” pointed out Gustavo Sánchez.

In education, he indicated that despite the benefits provided by the Extended Shift program, it is regrettable that to date there are children applying to be admitted into the education system, which is why, in the five years of government, education was also burned.

“On the subject of security and crime, we are 190 deputies and I am convinced that each of our families has been a victim of some level of crime, robberies and assaults,” stated Sánchez, while establishing that, in security, this government does not pass the subject.

Referring to the topic of transportation and security, the spokesperson for the PLD deputies referred to the construction defects reflected in Line 2C of the Santo Domingo Metro, as well as the delays and chaos existing at Kilometer 9 of the Duarte highway and Isabela Aguiar.

He announced that he is preparing a resolution to interpellate the director of the Opret, Rafael Santos, so that he explains the bidding process for the construction of that metro line. Gustavo Sánchez added that, regarding the drinking water service in the aqueducts, the government failed, as families have to buy water bottles every day.

When evaluating all these services, the opposition deputy stated that not a single one has improved in the last five years, and warned that the Dominican people will hold them accountable in the next elections.
