Santo Domingo.– President Leonel Fernández submitted a constitutional reform draft bill to congress that would declare hydrocarbons exploration and production of high public interest.
All natural resources situated in Dominican territory, including mining deposits, belong to the state and only can be explored and exploited by privates by virtue of the concessions or contracts granted under conditions determined by law, states Article 9 of the bill.
The government expects the development of hydrocarbons exploration and production will help the country reduce its dependence on imported hydrocarbons. The current constitution makes no reference to hydrocarbons.

1) With the huge increase in government revenues, is there any explanation for the enormous budgetary deficits other than the huge governmental wastes of money on employees and programs that are unnecessary?
2) If we are "sheltered" the US economic crisis, how come housing sales are down 70% and new housing starts are down 90%.
3) Are you ever going to do anything that does not directly benefit one of your supporters?
4) Ever think about that after saving the country from the disaster that you inherited from HM, you could have been the greatest president of all time, if only you would have put country in front of party?
5) Do you realize that this term has started off so badly that I have actually heard people saying out loud that they think that Mejia might be preferable to you?
It is seriously doubtful that he will be elected again andif he is, it will prove that Dominicans really don't want, nor deserve, an honest and forthright government.

oooo
This is most promising and most shocking that the bourgeois regime in Santo Domingo doesn't want ... for a change ... to give away or "privatize" its natural resources to the imperialists in exchange for a patronizing pat from the imperialists on a Dominican head or shoulder or behind.
The imperialists already insist that any oil or gas found in the DR belongs to the "private sector" or, that is, the domestic and foreign thieves operating in the DR, even though it's Cuban and Venezuelan engineers and geologists who are doing most of the promising explorations while the bourgeois parasites anxiously wait for the results.
The purple ones will be very insulted with your insinuation "about screwing in the rear" with Lie-onel's alleged preference for Big METROS in his tunnel!
