Crespo accuses the PRM of using loans of 140 million dollars in re-election

Santo Domingo.- Deputies of the Power of the People (FP) denounced that the Government headed by President Luis Abinader is using, for reelection purposes and budget support, a loan of 140 million dollars from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), approved last year and that would allegedly be allocated for the maintenance of the different roads.

The spokesperson for the FP deputies, Tobías Crespo, said that the loan of about 8 billion pesos was part of the festival of irresponsible loans that President Luis Abinader and the officials of the failed reelection sent to Congress take every week. majority of the PRM.

“It was not for road maintenance. That’s a lie, that’s budget support, and I’m going to show you: Law 63-17 on mobility, transportation and transit establishes two weights for road maintenance. Every time one of us adds a gallon of fuel, two pesos go to RD Vial for road maintenance. It is RD Vial through RD$1.50, because 50 pesos go to the renewal of the vehicle fleet and the other part for the maintenance of the roads, there are billions of pesos out there,” he explained.

The congressman added that additionally, there are billions of pesos that come from different public and private tolls, since every time a driver pays, that amount of money must be used for the maintenance of avenues, roads and roads throughout the country.
