We' re still here. Follow the parade of politicians and candidates for the
rhythm of the morning. We have here a candidate friend of a friend and
friends of friends are treated well when they are visitors in the house. So
we welcome the candidate for MP for the PRM in constituency number one, José
Carabagio, former head of the Cara dress. Welcome to the rhythm of the
morning. Well, thank you very much because we feel the graduate candidate,
José Caraballo, José Caragusta who does pot after this already happens there, former
deputy, former followers, but I will always be José Caraballo. Well,
then tell us about yourself a little bit I had the chance to treat you,
before I met you, before you came here to the program and you
are telling me that you were part of the Town Hall of the Chapter Hall,
of the City Hall of the National District for the past four years.
Thus, I was elected ruler in the two thousand twenty, two thousand twenty
- four. In the two thousand twenty- two two thousand twenty- three
he was the nice president of the Council of Regidors, what they called the
Chapter Hall before is now called Governing Councils and I was president of the City
of Santo Domingo for a year. I was also now selected by the polls
process as an official candidate by the Modern Revolutionary Party. Well, that was
November. Of course it is and we are already a few days, eighteen
days from the elections. That' s right. He' s nervous,
I don' t mean, he doesn' t prun. It' s
the day of the call day of progistic logistics It' s already complicated.
One is that logistic team that has to look for Doña Maria who is half
ill and wants to be carried in a car. People don' t know
that' s the logistics. Really yes, the mobilisation of the vote.
So, that' s not it. We have a great structure that we
have worked on for years in this belting. One remembers that I was the
Hector Regidor, one of the most voted cinuscription in the past and good internal
process, and we have had a long trajectory here Where your political life begins,
that is because you know that the PRM is almost ten years old.
Yes, but I imagine your story doesn' t start in pr Of course
it didn' t always mention seniority in the service. It' s true.
Of course we come from the revolutionary Dominican youth or from the upside.
I was part of that youth rededite of the wild, or a vine of
rational, rational view all the time. No. No, no, no,
no, no, no, no, I didn' t get in
at that moment. No, but I was a furious perridedist. Uh,
I think he was standing in the crowds to argue that Peña was the best
street even in the bomb and it' s three between no longer as a
hippolyte I was quieter, but I was from as a young man, I
was very passionate about politics. He still does, but perhaps with more rationality
and was a follower of Peña Gomez than I was. I am the one
who most regretted in my life was having been sixteen years old in ninety-
six. Yeah,' cause you couldn' t vote around. I couldn
' t vote for a pass. Then that' s where tred started.
Then there are good youth groups, including youth groups, some foundations, looking
for insertion, working on the public policy part about youth and nothing, and
we made a small journey at the OTRD level. Then we occupied different positions
within the PRD party. Then we were founders of the PRM. I occupied
positions at the level of district cycucription. Another final coyo for after what he
went out to enroll in the two thousand eighteen and they didn' t all
call me. Not all of us went out to phon You formed the PRM,
but then I remember you did a clear process of logical registration process for
internal processes we also had to enroll people and logic with other teams, also
everyone who was with us, or the vast majority not to tell you that
all one hundred percent went on to form a stack of prm. Then rm
one can inscribe normal or is like a lodge, as was the pld art
not when the internal process opens. Of course it was made in connection up
online. So anyone could sign up for the website would go. I was
going to ask her then what you saw the story. You are then not
an office politician, because it is simply clear that politics has changed. The
office policy. The office policy changed and to us it gives us the opportunity
to be regents that we were. I' m going to I' m
not until April 23rd. I was a regidor. Well, it gives us
the opportunity to be in the field, to be at work, because we
have to meet with the community, the neighborhood boards, with all the living
strength of the demarcation and the district, because the role of the municipal legislator
includes a specific geographical demarcation, in this case, in the national district.
And that greatly favored us, because we had contact, listening to the problems
of the communities and also looking for possible solutions. So no, politics changed.
Now there is a new generation of politicians on the streets. He didn
' t give offices anymore. There is a question that I wonder because one
has received so many deputies here always walk with a file of bills, but
one is already understanding, obviously, seeing that arriving with twenty zero prospsuns these
to the Chamber of Deputies, that that becomes a draft of laws a very
steep and revalious path. I have the question of whether you are clear about
the role of a Member of Parliament today, of course it is in the
minds of the people. Look you have to explain to the person, because
the concept of a deputy who has the person of assistanceism, that is,
of the exact sample sun bather of the drink that. I got this,
I got this problem. I have this problem And the real thing is that
a legislator is about you controlling, representing and legislating, creating regulations that impact
at the national level or a geographic demarcation, specific, creating control, that
is, seeing how people' s money is being spent, intemperate officials,
visiting those institutions to channel solutions and also to represent, listen to people'
s need and seek to raise, channel solutions to people. These are the
functions of a legislator. Of course, there are one hundred and ninety deputies
in Congress, in the Chamber of Deputies and, of course, the majority
of the legislators' work is the working committees. Irrespective of the fact that
we have proposals, which we are going to submit to the project, but
most of the work is the committees that exist as a ministry and Directorates-
General, there is a commission and there are special committees that are also created
for a specific subject. There all the projects that go to the plenary have
to go through that sedation and Members can make recommendations, they can be modifications
of those projects that come up with what I am working on. I,
well, one of the projects we' re running is a national scholarship law.
We understand the concern that there is because we see professional numbers, number
of lawyers, number of accountants, number of managers of graduate companies, since
they cannot be successfully inserted into the labor market and they study business administration without
having companies, without having to identify where, without parents, neither that they
have companies nor who. Then we have to plan the state. The investment
that has been selected based on the need for the country. Recently, the
director of Cenazas says well here we need psychologists and psychiatrists. We' re
talking that well, if there are doctors who are preparing for specialties, well
there is a safe work field, employment, employment insertion, for the issue
of mental health, for many topics that we are proposing, that knows that
it touches the country is based on need but by a scientific study say good.
The labor market needs here, well, we need medical specialist on this,
we need professionals in this area, well, then, and technicians too,
because they' re not only professional careers, but technical as well?
Well, then, we' re not going to focus on these short-
term careers, because they' re going to be able to safely insert themselves
into the labor market. Testimonies. We have the largest gold mines in the
world to open the Dominican rosary, its main technicians who are Chilean, Chilean,
then Ruan. There is also very good, but if they are what
is known about mining, we will send the Dominicans to study mining and that
they come and can insert themselves into that and occupy the job squares. I
' ve been talking to Litla' s rector recently. They have a prosthetic
project Omar Méndez a greeting from here. They have a prosthetic project for people
with disabilities. Now they' re going to work on a hand- held
prosthesis project. Those are legs, because their main technicians are Salvadorans. There
are only two Dominican technicians. So we' re going to specialize, because
when the young man finishes, the professional finishes or the technician finishes, he
' s going to find work ground. Sure, it' s state planning,
but that' s what he conep on that council than angel, because
they' re what in the biggest employers in the country. It must be
the private sector, not the public. Of course, then it seems interesting
to me and they' re asking several questions around here. I have a
concern and I want to outsource it. I want to make a public commitment
to you well, that' s where I saw a ledy project to ban
and you should see on the public road, because I want you to be
the voice of us drunkards and of life easy to refuse approval of that,
because you really hear a lot of things and you' re going to a
law now. And I think that the Republic, where it already has a
problem with legislation, is legislating on things that are already covered by laws,
because we have to make a law out of a law, out of a
law. When you come to see, we already have five laws that regulate
the same thing, spoil laws, laws that have nothing to do with reality
or what it demands at the time of the Dominican Republic. I joked about
it. But now that you' re talking about scholarships, I don'
t believe in centralized planning in the state, but I do believe that the
state has to organize the house on certain issues and that there is a disorder
in the subject of scholarships. I don' t know if beyond my request,
you make another commitment to us here. No, but the audience is
here asking questions, and that' s where I came up with this baby,
not the laws that the MPs who sit there can understand to spend time
on that, there are no important things. Remember, this is a tourist
country and it' s good. That' s not a beer in the
wax, perfectly, but the question goes that way in the legislation. Or
clearly agree, within my proposal there are two modifications, two types of laws.
They' re not even the only one I have as a law as
a bill on Yes, which is very interesting, but there are modifications that
we have to make to other laws that are already quite old. An example
is the social security law. That needs to be completely reviewed. How is
it possible that there are almost twenty- five that older people are excluded from
the collective private health system, which are the people who need it the most.
Then they put you in the subsidized health system. So if you used
to go to a private clinic to not mention a name, it' s
not a wedge here now you have to go to the molaga, they have
to go to the dario has to see marcelino. And that they are clinics,
that Mos Pin hospital, Tales are hospitals that are good, but that
there is a lot of staff and it has to be decongested. We can
' t send more people to public hospitals because they supply us then that we
are proposing a modification so that people that social security law, apart from reviewing
the issue of pensions, the amount people can continue is a collective health insurance
that although it is true that you can' t go to a high-
end clinic of those so expensive, but that you can give a clinic that
is more average or this one your doctors have attended for twenty- five years.
There' s my proposal. You' re done saying it, not
the law. Me. My mom is seventy- six years old and the
thing about one of the things I care about most because she' s still
taking care of her doctor' s number is always the one with the record.
You got the chance. My mother moved on to a good pension.
This touched me closely today last November and I had to add to my private
health system. The same thing happened to my mom, because she in salt
is automatically excluded and that' s unfair. The system is unfair to people
in the third who are the ones who need health insurance. I think it
is important to look at this part of continuing to guide people that the function
of a Member, the role of the principal of the Member is to control,
legislate truth and represent exactly that although it can serve as a bridge,
it can serve as a bridge to solve some problems of the Community, as
a street arrangement such things. I mean, I don' t know one
thing. It may be analyzers, but I didn' t tell him to
look. I want you to win as a deputy so you can fix that
street for me, so you don' t attack him. Obviously, they
can serve as channelers. Of course, but the honourable Member' s responsibility
is directed to another aspect. So people are very, very confused about that
and that' s part of the same policy, the welfareism. Exactly what
he' s gotten used to and people have been told that a deputy can
solve your personal problem before you answer. He' ll hand over to the
people who were talking to Jose Caraballo, candidate for psychoclition. One has been
a member of the Modern Revolutionary Party. Your answer or the remark that makes
pike even I try, for example, there are people who have personal problems,
personal ones who want to be solved by a deputy like that is either
a candidate or so, I left my husband. I am seven years old
and I have to do or people need to be well oriented about what is
the responsibility of this goal. That' s in the representation part. Recently
we had in the house all event with several communities the sector of the casque,
except on the thirty May communities that surround and went there because they have
a situation of drinking water. And we went with the community, with the
neighboring board, with the living strength of the sector, and there we went
in a way that was still ruling, so I also had that one to
make it representative and I went with them and we sought solution. And in
what the axe goes and comes the solution, because it is necessary to break
and make a modification to the connection that the water receives. Well, then
water trucks were managed, it' s genius. At least representativeness was made,
but collectively, not individually. Well then thank the candidate for deputy for
the national district, that the only ones who come here for that are the
one who cares about the truth. It has to be said, please,
that I said at the beginning of the year that seeing the fences and what
ended up being elected candidates by the parties that in the one maybe not only
the most contested, but the one that is offering the most quality in terms
of the formation of those who are running and we can be of agreement,
are competing between you as deputies and with that of other parties and the offer
that in the other parties are also interesting offers. Yes, of course,
and I think that gives one the hope that this will become the norm in
the future. Or everyone who meets the requirements of the law has the right
to apply. I' m not qualified. It' s democracy. That
is democracy, but the idea is that those who govern us are the best
among our peers or the most qualified. Cyclopping is one of the most demanding
that gives more zinccrips mainly because of the ideology of the people who live in
it. Nothing to remind people if they give me a clear chance that if
we are in box two of the PRM ballot and until 19 May they can
throw two per caravagilo. Or, well, I told him. He told
me to tell you José Caraballo, of course and I told you the other
day they told me a little bird that you are marking very well. Then
I wish you luck. When it comes to you it helps others to be
Members too amen. So it will be, because with this the method of
homs already, the method, the method that does help many people. I
wish you success. I know that the people who know you and the passing
through a public position, because it is a record, because it favors you
and more than grateful because you have already passed here. Thank you for giving
mint opportunity. Not gratitude is our psychea José Caraballo, candidate for deputy for
the if that Vainas one from the district for the offer to greet me my
friends over there.
