On the 24th of last month, my favorite columnist "Coctelera" from the HOY newspaper, started his column with this observation.
Quote: "Greetings my dear Magino. I have just finished reading a declaration made by the Secretary of Labor, Doctor Milton Ray Guevara, that really caught my attention. Ray Guevara says that the country (RD) hopes that Spain will assimilate 15,000 Dominican workers by virtue of an agreement signed by the two countries. This is good, no doubt. But what is noteworthy is that among these workers are farm and construction workers....
Aren't these the sectors, by some chance, that are most affected by the lack of native laborors, according to sector leaders, to the point that they have to contract Haitian workers to replace them, with no nevermind that these Haitians enter Dominican territory illegally? You are allowed to suppose then, that if, of the scarce Dominican workers that work in the farms and in the construction, one part emigrates, the jobs left vacant will have to be filled by more Haitians. Furthermore, it is shocking that Spain has never, ever, looked for Haitian manpower to work in domestic service, in the fields or in construction...Not for nothing...."
In the first section of HOY on May the 7th the following headlines
First Grouip of workers travels to Spain
"The first group of 43 Dominican womenthat will work as domestics in Spain, left today on flight 088 of Air Europa...
Gonna be interesting....
