Greatest corruption scandal in the Dominican Republic is happening right now.
International and local press remains silent.
After a mandate characterized by rampant estate spending, politicians getting lavish houses and cars, pensions of about USD$12,500 a month for top party officials for four years of work while still having a thousand of dollars government job in another position (Minimum wage is a little over $200), crazy salary hikes, blatant clientelism and tax evasion, millions and millions in government money to fund the official party’s presidential campaign, and many other things, the party ends and the people have to pay the bill.
The congress has approved a fiscal reform that basically screws the people, raising taxes in general and taxing basic food items, as well as small internet purchases that were one of the few ways to circumvent the abusive local retailers (You’d have to pay double the online price + shipping for basically anything).
This problem isn’t solved by taxing, it’s solved by making those responsible pay. Not a single politician has been put in jail or even tried, even those for whom there is incontrovertible evidence of ghastly instances of fraud and corruption. Today the reform was approved by a government controlled Congress in just 19 minutes with no room for debates. Dissenting congressmen were silenced and not given the opportunity to speak. A student was killed during riots in the state university and it’s believed to be the first of several deaths in the near future.
All because a central figure named Leonel Fernandez, until 84 days ago the President of 12 years, personally controls all of the State Powers: Government, Congress and Supreme Court. He also controls most of the media, so even the fourth state is under his power. It’s ironic since countries like Canada gave him an award as Statesman of the Year and named him “the Oracle of Santo Domingo” all because he let a canadian-based gold mining corporation named Barrick started raping the land and destroying the environment of the island. The people have had enough and we need your help, Reddit.Let us help make some noise so the eyes of the world get turned on our small country.
** 1st picture: Thursday November 8, 2012 | A college student named William Florián Ramírez (21) got shot by a police officer during a protest against the fiscal reform. He was carried that way.

I made a halloween image! YAY. I rename this pair. She will be Eve and the cat will be Hallow! BECAUSE I AM SO ORIGINAL.
I don’t really have ever celebrated Halloween, but I think it is a rather fun thing to do (for kids). When I was growing up I always wanted to celebrate it, just so I could dress up in costumes, but my mom never let us because it goes against Catholics or the church or whatnot. Oh welp.
Sighs, anyway I hope you like this! Happy Halloween people, send pictures of whatever you dress up for it!
