Editorial writer Ines Aizpun of Diario Libre highlights today that garbage, and not re-election is the national problem. The managing editor of the leading newspaper writes:
“The problem is not re-election because the Constitution prohibits it and Danilo swore “before God” and before those around him in a public activity that would not be presented to a third election. (The networks broadcast the video so we do not forget it.)
“The problem, then, is not the re-election of Medina or the hasty policy of an untimely campaign. The problem is the inability to articulate a system of education, waste management and landfills that allows us to be, as we dream, the preferred destination of the Caribbean.
“It no longer amazes us, but travelers are scandalized by the naturalness with which we coexist with scattered garbage, with the ease with which we throw it to the street from a SUV, from the window of the house, from the balcony of a tower,” she writes.
