I suppose when you read the stories posted in DR1 News today this will not surprise you:
Quirinito case shows lack of controls in local judiciary
and
El Dia: Have we gone mad?
Seems that the government is currently paralyzed dealing with it's own internal party debates and the ongoing Odebrecht scandal.
All this and add that the country is slipping way down when it comes to efficiency (DR slides 12 places in Global Competitiveness Index) and a new budget will do nothing to address a growing public debt (2017 National Budget keeps scheme of increasing debt) .
Can we have some good news! Well I suppose this was some good news....Big traffic fines not being applied
.......for some!
