SummaryResumen
A feature on Santo Domingo under President Morales says the government pays out money daily at Santiago, La Vega, Moca, Puerto Plata and other towns to maintain peace, while recalcitrant citizens and even suspects are imprisoned, banished or summarily shot. It argues that export duties ruin the sugar planter and discourage production, even though tobacco from the Cibao is shipped to Germany and cocoa, coffee, wax, honey and gold washed from mountain streams all leave the country.
Un artículo sobre Santo Domingo bajo el presidente Morales dice que el gobierno reparte dinero a diario en Santiago, La Vega, Moca, Puerto Plata y otros pueblos para mantener la paz, mientras los ciudadanos recalcitrantes e incluso los sospechosos son encarcelados, desterrados o fusilados sumariamente. Sostiene que los derechos de exportación arruinan al productor de azúcar y desaniman la producción, aun cuando el tabaco del Cibao se envía a Alemania y el cacao, el café, la cera, la miel y el oro lavado de los arroyos de las montañas salen del país.
