1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,679
We' re still here. Follow
the parade of politicians and candidates for the

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:10,640
rhythm of the morning. We have
here a candidate friend of a friend and

3
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:13,439
friends of friends are treated well when
they are visitors in the house. So

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,000
we welcome the candidate for MP for
the PRM in constituency number one, José

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,559
Carabagio, former head of the Cara
dress. Welcome to the rhythm of the

6
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:27,320
morning. Well, thank you very
much because we feel the graduate candidate,

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,879
José Caraballo, José Caragusta who does
pot after this already happens there, former

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,280
deputy, former followers, but I
will always be José Caraballo. Well,

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,679
then tell us about yourself a little
bit I had the chance to treat you,

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,759
before I met you, before you
came here to the program and you

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,079
are telling me that you were part
of the Town Hall of the Chapter Hall,

12
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:55,000
of the City Hall of the National
District for the past four years.

13
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:58,719
Thus, I was elected ruler in
the two thousand twenty, two thousand twenty

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,320
- four. In the two thousand
twenty- two two thousand twenty- three

15
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,719
he was the nice president of the
Council of Regidors, what they called the

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:08,799
Chapter Hall before is now called Governing
Councils and I was president of the City

17
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:12,079
of Santo Domingo for a year.
I was also now selected by the polls

18
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:17,799
process as an official candidate by the
Modern Revolutionary Party. Well, that was

19
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,599
November. Of course it is and
we are already a few days, eighteen

20
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,400
days from the elections. That'
s right. He' s nervous,

21
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:29,599
I don' t mean, he
doesn' t prun. It' s

22
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:34,319
the day of the call day of
progistic logistics It' s already complicated.

23
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:40,400
One is that logistic team that has
to look for Doña Maria who is half

24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,000
ill and wants to be carried in
a car. People don' t know

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,760
that' s the logistics. Really
yes, the mobilisation of the vote.

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,959
So, that' s not it. We have a great structure that we

27
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,920
have worked on for years in this
belting. One remembers that I was the

28
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:57,840
Hector Regidor, one of the most
voted cinuscription in the past and good internal

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,599
process, and we have had a
long trajectory here Where your political life begins,

30
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,760
that is because you know that the
PRM is almost ten years old.

31
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:12,879
Yes, but I imagine your story
doesn' t start in pr Of course

32
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,479
it didn' t always mention seniority
in the service. It' s true.

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,479
Of course we come from the revolutionary
Dominican youth or from the upside.

34
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:23,960
I was part of that youth rededite
of the wild, or a vine of

35
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:27,520
rational, rational view all the time. No. No, no, no,

36
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,479
no, no, no, no, I didn' t get in

37
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,360
at that moment. No, but
I was a furious perridedist. Uh,

38
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,400
I think he was standing in the
crowds to argue that Peña was the best

39
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,680
street even in the bomb and it' s three between no longer as a

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,159
hippolyte I was quieter, but I
was from as a young man, I

41
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,360
was very passionate about politics. He
still does, but perhaps with more rationality

42
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:51,000
and was a follower of Peña Gomez
than I was. I am the one

43
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,599
who most regretted in my life was
having been sixteen years old in ninety-

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,479
six. Yeah,' cause you
couldn' t vote around. I couldn

45
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,639
' t vote for a pass.
Then that' s where tred started.

46
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,680
Then there are good youth groups,
including youth groups, some foundations, looking

47
00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:08,560
for insertion, working on the public
policy part about youth and nothing, and

48
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,120
we made a small journey at the
OTRD level. Then we occupied different positions

49
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:19,599
within the PRD party. Then we
were founders of the PRM. I occupied

50
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,800
positions at the level of district cycucription. Another final coyo for after what he

51
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,360
went out to enroll in the two
thousand eighteen and they didn' t all

52
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,400
call me. Not all of us
went out to phon You formed the PRM,

53
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,719
but then I remember you did a
clear process of logical registration process for

54
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,719
internal processes we also had to enroll
people and logic with other teams, also

55
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,960
everyone who was with us, or
the vast majority not to tell you that

56
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,439
all one hundred percent went on to
form a stack of prm. Then rm

57
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,000
one can inscribe normal or is like
a lodge, as was the pld art

58
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,479
not when the internal process opens.
Of course it was made in connection up

59
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:58,280
online. So anyone could sign up
for the website would go. I was

60
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,800
going to ask her then what you
saw the story. You are then not

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,879
an office politician, because it is
simply clear that politics has changed. The

62
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,560
office policy. The office policy changed
and to us it gives us the opportunity

63
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:14,240
to be regents that we were.
I' m going to I' m

64
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,279
not until April 23rd. I was
a regidor. Well, it gives us

65
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:18,800
the opportunity to be in the field, to be at work, because we

66
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:21,800
have to meet with the community,
the neighborhood boards, with all the living

67
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:26,959
strength of the demarcation and the district, because the role of the municipal legislator

68
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,000
includes a specific geographical demarcation, in
this case, in the national district.

69
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:36,199
And that greatly favored us, because
we had contact, listening to the problems

70
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,800
of the communities and also looking for
possible solutions. So no, politics changed.

71
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,519
Now there is a new generation of
politicians on the streets. He didn

72
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,839
' t give offices anymore. There
is a question that I wonder because one

73
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,439
has received so many deputies here always
walk with a file of bills, but

74
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,319
one is already understanding, obviously,
seeing that arriving with twenty zero prospsuns these

75
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:01,920
to the Chamber of Deputies, that
that becomes a draft of laws a very

76
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:09,920
steep and revalious path. I have
the question of whether you are clear about

77
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,600
the role of a Member of Parliament
today, of course it is in the

78
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,399
minds of the people. Look you
have to explain to the person, because

79
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:21,879
the concept of a deputy who has
the person of assistanceism, that is,

80
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,360
of the exact sample sun bather of
the drink that. I got this,

81
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:31,079
I got this problem. I have
this problem And the real thing is that

82
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:36,439
a legislator is about you controlling,
representing and legislating, creating regulations that impact

83
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:43,920
at the national level or a geographic
demarcation, specific, creating control, that

84
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,240
is, seeing how people' s
money is being spent, intemperate officials,

85
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:54,439
visiting those institutions to channel solutions and
also to represent, listen to people'

86
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,360
s need and seek to raise,
channel solutions to people. These are the

87
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,279
functions of a legislator. Of course, there are one hundred and ninety deputies

88
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,959
in Congress, in the Chamber of
Deputies and, of course, the majority

89
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:13,360
of the legislators' work is the
working committees. Irrespective of the fact that

90
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240
we have proposals, which we are
going to submit to the project, but

91
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,399
most of the work is the committees
that exist as a ministry and Directorates-

92
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,000
General, there is a commission and
there are special committees that are also created

93
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,279
for a specific subject. There all
the projects that go to the plenary have

94
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:36,279
to go through that sedation and Members
can make recommendations, they can be modifications

95
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,319
of those projects that come up with
what I am working on. I,

96
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,160
well, one of the projects we' re running is a national scholarship law.

97
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,000
We understand the concern that there is
because we see professional numbers, number

98
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,439
of lawyers, number of accountants,
number of managers of graduate companies, since

99
00:06:56,519 --> 00:07:00,519
they cannot be successfully inserted into the
labor market and they study business administration without

100
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:09,079
having companies, without having to identify
where, without parents, neither that they

101
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,519
have companies nor who. Then we
have to plan the state. The investment

102
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,079
that has been selected based on the
need for the country. Recently, the

103
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,519
director of Cenazas says well here we
need psychologists and psychiatrists. We' re

104
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:27,000
talking that well, if there are
doctors who are preparing for specialties, well

105
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:30,879
there is a safe work field,
employment, employment insertion, for the issue

106
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:34,480
of mental health, for many topics
that we are proposing, that knows that

107
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:39,879
it touches the country is based on
need but by a scientific study say good.

108
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:44,800
The labor market needs here, well, we need medical specialist on this,

109
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,399
we need professionals in this area,
well, then, and technicians too,

110
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,279
because they' re not only professional
careers, but technical as well?

111
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,839
Well, then, we' re
not going to focus on these short-

112
00:07:56,199 --> 00:08:00,800
term careers, because they' re
going to be able to safely insert themselves

113
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,199
into the labor market. Testimonies.
We have the largest gold mines in the

114
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:11,360
world to open the Dominican rosary,
its main technicians who are Chilean, Chilean,

115
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,319
then Ruan. There is also very
good, but if they are what

116
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,839
is known about mining, we will
send the Dominicans to study mining and that

117
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,000
they come and can insert themselves into
that and occupy the job squares. I

118
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,959
' ve been talking to Litla'
s rector recently. They have a prosthetic

119
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,959
project Omar Méndez a greeting from here. They have a prosthetic project for people

120
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,360
with disabilities. Now they' re
going to work on a hand- held

121
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:41,240
prosthesis project. Those are legs,
because their main technicians are Salvadorans. There

122
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,080
are only two Dominican technicians. So
we' re going to specialize, because

123
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,679
when the young man finishes, the
professional finishes or the technician finishes, he

124
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,320
' s going to find work ground. Sure, it' s state planning,

125
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:56,200
but that' s what he conep
on that council than angel, because

126
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:58,120
they' re what in the biggest
employers in the country. It must be

127
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,840
the private sector, not the public. Of course, then it seems interesting

128
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,440
to me and they' re asking
several questions around here. I have a

129
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,840
concern and I want to outsource it. I want to make a public commitment

130
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,759
to you well, that' s
where I saw a ledy project to ban

131
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,399
and you should see on the public
road, because I want you to be

132
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:22,120
the voice of us drunkards and of
life easy to refuse approval of that,

133
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:26,679
because you really hear a lot of
things and you' re going to a

134
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,879
law now. And I think that
the Republic, where it already has a

135
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:33,279
problem with legislation, is legislating on
things that are already covered by laws,

136
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,600
because we have to make a law
out of a law, out of a

137
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,279
law. When you come to see, we already have five laws that regulate

138
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:41,879
the same thing, spoil laws,
laws that have nothing to do with reality

139
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:45,440
or what it demands at the time
of the Dominican Republic. I joked about

140
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,679
it. But now that you'
re talking about scholarships, I don'

141
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,679
t believe in centralized planning in the
state, but I do believe that the

142
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:56,879
state has to organize the house on
certain issues and that there is a disorder

143
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,399
in the subject of scholarships. I
don' t know if beyond my request,

144
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,080
you make another commitment to us here. No, but the audience is

145
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:13,200
here asking questions, and that'
s where I came up with this baby,

146
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,480
not the laws that the MPs who
sit there can understand to spend time

147
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,919
on that, there are no important
things. Remember, this is a tourist

148
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,960
country and it' s good.
That' s not a beer in the

149
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,480
wax, perfectly, but the question
goes that way in the legislation. Or

150
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:33,519
clearly agree, within my proposal there
are two modifications, two types of laws.

151
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:39,120
They' re not even the only
one I have as a law as

152
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,919
a bill on Yes, which is
very interesting, but there are modifications that

153
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,120
we have to make to other laws
that are already quite old. An example

154
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:50,240
is the social security law. That
needs to be completely reviewed. How is

155
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,240
it possible that there are almost twenty- five that older people are excluded from

156
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:58,120
the collective private health system, which
are the people who need it the most.

157
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,919
Then they put you in the subsidized
health system. So if you used

158
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320
to go to a private clinic to
not mention a name, it' s

159
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:09,320
not a wedge here now you have
to go to the molaga, they have

160
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,360
to go to the dario has to
see marcelino. And that they are clinics,

161
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,799
that Mos Pin hospital, Tales are
hospitals that are good, but that

162
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,840
there is a lot of staff and
it has to be decongested. We can

163
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:24,320
' t send more people to public
hospitals because they supply us then that we

164
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:28,399
are proposing a modification so that people
that social security law, apart from reviewing

165
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,320
the issue of pensions, the amount
people can continue is a collective health insurance

166
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,159
that although it is true that you
can' t go to a high-

167
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,600
end clinic of those so expensive,
but that you can give a clinic that

168
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,919
is more average or this one your
doctors have attended for twenty- five years.

169
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,840
There' s my proposal. You' re done saying it, not

170
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,919
the law. Me. My mom
is seventy- six years old and the

171
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,879
thing about one of the things I
care about most because she' s still

172
00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:58,120
taking care of her doctor' s
number is always the one with the record.

173
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,960
You got the chance. My mother
moved on to a good pension.

174
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,879
This touched me closely today last November
and I had to add to my private

175
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,639
health system. The same thing happened
to my mom, because she in salt

176
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:16,320
is automatically excluded and that' s
unfair. The system is unfair to people

177
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,679
in the third who are the ones
who need health insurance. I think it

178
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:26,120
is important to look at this part
of continuing to guide people that the function

179
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,960
of a Member, the role of
the principal of the Member is to control,

180
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,840
legislate truth and represent exactly that although
it can serve as a bridge,

181
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,720
it can serve as a bridge to
solve some problems of the Community, as

182
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,720
a street arrangement such things. I
mean, I don' t know one

183
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,879
thing. It may be analyzers,
but I didn' t tell him to

184
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:52,840
look. I want you to win
as a deputy so you can fix that

185
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,120
street for me, so you don' t attack him. Obviously, they

186
00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:03,840
can serve as channelers. Of course, but the honourable Member' s responsibility

187
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,320
is directed to another aspect. So
people are very, very confused about that

188
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,840
and that' s part of the
same policy, the welfareism. Exactly what

189
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,919
he' s gotten used to and
people have been told that a deputy can

190
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:22,720
solve your personal problem before you answer. He' ll hand over to the

191
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:26,039
people who were talking to Jose Caraballo, candidate for psychoclition. One has been

192
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,639
a member of the Modern Revolutionary Party. Your answer or the remark that makes

193
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,240
pike even I try, for example, there are people who have personal problems,

194
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,240
personal ones who want to be solved
by a deputy like that is either

195
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:46,120
a candidate or so, I left
my husband. I am seven years old

196
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,639
and I have to do or people
need to be well oriented about what is

197
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,559
the responsibility of this goal. That' s in the representation part. Recently

198
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:01,159
we had in the house all event
with several communities the sector of the casque,

199
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,919
except on the thirty May communities that
surround and went there because they have

200
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,799
a situation of drinking water. And
we went with the community, with the

201
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,039
neighboring board, with the living strength
of the sector, and there we went

202
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,559
in a way that was still ruling, so I also had that one to

203
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:20,320
make it representative and I went with
them and we sought solution. And in

204
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,480
what the axe goes and comes the
solution, because it is necessary to break

205
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:28,120
and make a modification to the connection
that the water receives. Well, then

206
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,080
water trucks were managed, it'
s genius. At least representativeness was made,

207
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:37,080
but collectively, not individually. Well
then thank the candidate for deputy for

208
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:43,200
the national district, that the only
ones who come here for that are the

209
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,799
one who cares about the truth.
It has to be said, please,

210
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:52,639
that I said at the beginning of
the year that seeing the fences and what

211
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,919
ended up being elected candidates by the
parties that in the one maybe not only

212
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,960
the most contested, but the one
that is offering the most quality in terms

213
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,440
of the formation of those who are
running and we can be of agreement,

214
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,440
are competing between you as deputies and
with that of other parties and the offer

215
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,919
that in the other parties are also
interesting offers. Yes, of course,

216
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,039
and I think that gives one the
hope that this will become the norm in

217
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:24,799
the future. Or everyone who meets
the requirements of the law has the right

218
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:28,279
to apply. I' m not
qualified. It' s democracy. That

219
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:33,600
is democracy, but the idea is
that those who govern us are the best

220
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:37,600
among our peers or the most qualified. Cyclopping is one of the most demanding

221
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:41,279
that gives more zinccrips mainly because of
the ideology of the people who live in

222
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,519
it. Nothing to remind people if
they give me a clear chance that if

223
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:50,279
we are in box two of the
PRM ballot and until 19 May they can

224
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,759
throw two per caravagilo. Or,
well, I told him. He told

225
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:58,360
me to tell you José Caraballo,
of course and I told you the other

226
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,799
day they told me a little bird
that you are marking very well. Then

227
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:04,559
I wish you luck. When it
comes to you it helps others to be

228
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,279
Members too amen. So it will
be, because with this the method of

229
00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:14,919
homs already, the method, the
method that does help many people. I

230
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,679
wish you success. I know that
the people who know you and the passing

231
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,440
through a public position, because it
is a record, because it favors you

232
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,639
and more than grateful because you have
already passed here. Thank you for giving

233
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:32,759
mint opportunity. Not gratitude is our
psychea José Caraballo, candidate for deputy for

234
00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:38,559
the if that Vainas one from the
district for the offer to greet me my

235
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,120
friends over there.
