Investigative journalist Rosa Encarnación was part of the team that worked on the “La Z con el Pueblo” afternoon talk show together with Andrés L. Mateo, Julissa Céspedes, Fafa Taveras, Eddy Alcántara and recently Esteban Delgado. The program discussed political, social issues and current affairs. Encarnación was the talk show coordinator.
A YouTube video of her 19 February 2019 talk show where she describes as free spending alcoholic beverage purchases in July and December 2018 for RD$1.7 million by the Administrative Ministry of the Presidency went viral last week. On the same show, Encarnación had also criticized the purchase of a RD$156,350 gold-laminated pen and another RD$8 million in restaurant vouchers.
Shortly after these facts were reported, Encarnación’s contract was changed leading to her resignation. In her seven months in this position, she has spoken out often in regards to government waste and perceived political shenanigans. She is being replaced by Esteban Delgado who is widely seen a solid supporter of President Medina.
Rosa Encarnación is also part of the “El Despertador” morning talk show of Noticias SIN.
