We just had the election with the PRM winning after the PLD being in power for 16 years. What do the two main parties really stand for in terms of policies and ideology. And what about Leonel Fernandez who was a fairly strong third party candidate. Is there a left and right in Dominican politics. I have heard mentioned the grandson of Trujillo representing a far right movement. And is there such a far left movement aligning themselves with international socialism. What are your thoughts ?
I wanted to see if this was something interesting for the community to discuss. I myself would be interested in knowing more. Also what type of system does the DR really have. Is it fully capitalism but with some social programs like tarjeta de solidaridad and salud publica and how does that really work. I definitely think private property is protected but how safe is it for investors/entrepreneurs in business. The tax system and payroll system I had a hard time maneuvering and I felt it gave me a disadvantage as a foreigner as local companies simply know the system better and to much time can be lost.
