Fathers Luis Rosario, Rogelio Cruz and Rumaldo Peralta, of three slum area neighborhoods, proposed that politicians turn their political campaigns into blitzes to teach all Dominicans to read and write. Recently, Cardinal Nicol?s L?pez Rodr?guez said that Dominicans are sick and tired of the bickering of politicians. Monsignor Agripino N??ez Collado, the nation’s leading arbiter of political conflicts, also said that if politicians continue to act the way they do, the DR will soon have its own Hugo Ch?vez, the Venezuelan president-elect who was chosen when Venezuelans rejected the traditional political parties.
