On Monday night, the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, dismissed the then governor of the Samaná province, Elsa Argentina de León Abreu, after her comments about potential fatalities from the coronavirus.
De León Abreu had more than a year in the position, being appointed through
decree 340-20 , along with the other governors of the country.
Who is Elsa de León?
The former governor is a native of the Sánchez municipality, in Samaná, and began her career in politics twenty years ago, obtaining various positions regardless of the political organization that is in power.
In fact,
she had already held the title of governor of her province, between 2006 and 2008, being later appointed as Vice Minister of Tourism in the period 2008-2012.
Later she was elected to the National Congress as a deputy, forming part of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), serving as general secretary of that entity's block of legislators.
Likewise, during his time in the Lower House he served as a permanent member of the Environment and Natural Resources, Tourism, Communication, Interior Administration and Public Administration commissions.
Education
De León Abreu completed her primary studies at the public school in Las Terrenas, completing secondary studies at the Liceo Francisco del Rosario Sánchez.
After graduating, she studied law at the Central University of the East; International Relations and Economics for executives at the Catholic University of Santo Domingo; and Senior Real Estate Management at the Universidad del Caribe.
The comment
Decree number 704-21, which
removed the former governor , was issued days after she publicly stated that she would hold "a party for each person who died of Covid who was not vaccinated."
"I am the one who says that, for every death, from now on, from Covid, who has not been vaccinated, I am going to have a party," she said.
