Eduardo Estrella of the Dominicans for Change party (DxC) has announced his support for Luis Abinader of the PRM in the May 2016 presidential election. On Sunday, 13 December 2015, during a general assembly of the DxC held in Santo Domingo, Estrella swore in Abinader, declaring that, “the time has come for a change in the model of impunity, corruption and biased justice implemented by the PLD”.
Estrella said that the main issue at stake in the 2016 election was the country’s future. He said it was an opportunity to leave behind the PLD’s style of government, and that it is a time for change and moral and ethical regeneration in the Dominican Republic.
He called for President Danilo Medina to submit a bill to eliminate the recent increase of the ITBIS tax on basic food products and for an immediate reduction in fuel and electricity prices. He said the Dominican people are victims of alarmingly high prices to maintain the government’s wasteful spending and fiscal greed. He also called for an in-depth and comprehensive reform of citizen safety and of the judicial system.
