President Danilo Medina was in the southwest yesterday, Sunday 9 February visiting goat farmers, beekeepers and fruit and coffee producers in Villa Jaragua, Galvan and the Neiba mountain range. He approved RD$37 million for farm production, but stressed that the money would have to be repaid. “I am not improvising or throwing around state money. State money is money paid by the citizens and I have the duty to defend it. We want this money to reach the people and help them improve their living conditions,” he said.
