The Senator Ivan Lorenzo described as a provocation to the Dominican people the approval of a battery of loans that in the 21-22 legislative year amounted to more than 1,100 million dollars.
“I think they have reached the limit of provoking the Dominican people, because recently, for the financing of the 2023 Budget, 363 billion were approved. Between November and December alone, 300 million were approved. And we don’t know what that money is for; We don’t see an overpass, we don’t see an important building and until the last day they borrowed money, which was today.”Lorenzo criticized.

“Today, the government intends to approve 140 million dollars in the Senate, in addition to the 460 million approved in November and the 363,000 million pesos for the financing of the 2023 budget, for a total of 396,677 million pesos to close the year,” recently published Lorenzo. him’s Twitter account.
