The Technical Secretary of the Presidency, Tem?stocles Mont?s said that if the government fails to capitalize the State Sugar Council (CEA), the Corporaci?n Dominicana de Electricidad (CDE) and the Corporaci?n Dominicana de Empresas Estatales (CORDE), these would be shut down. He told Hoy newspaper that the government cannot afford to continue to subsidize these state entities. The government successfully capitalized the state four mills, Molinos Dominicano and Molinos del Norte, part of CORDE. But there has been difficulties at advancing with the capitalization schedule of the CDE, the state electricity utility.
