Former Vice President of the Republic and presidential candidate, Jacinto Peynado said yesterday that politics is big business in the DR. He was referring to the confrontations between the PRD, PLD and PRSC politicians, following the election of Héctor Rafael Peguero Méndez to the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, the members of the Chamber of Accounts and the judges of the JCE. "All that is only good for business, that is what politics is, business, business for those that are in it, for the PLD, for the PRSC, for the PRD, for those who should be in jail and are not, it is all business and the poor country… can fend for itself," he said. He said that the election of the judges of the JCE is irreversible. That what those judges have to do now is gain the credibility of the people. He is contrary to the reversal of actions. He asked, "A consensus of whom, of Balaguer, Leonel and Esquea? Do those represent the people," he asked. In his opinion, "No, they do not represent anyone." He said that as a citizen he considers himself an outsider of those three political parties, as he feels their directors do not act correctly, and he prefers to not lie to the Dominican people.
