In the face of several complaints from citizens about the high prices of basic basket products, the President of Fuerza del Pueblo, Leonel Fernández, called on the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, to recall the expression used by the late PRD leader José Francisco Peña Gómez from “People first.”
A call for President Luis Abinader to remember the words of José Francisco Peña Gómez “the first people” in these times of crisis, “the first people” and therefore remind him of one of our governments, “Eating first” , expressed Fernández.
The former President of the Republic also called on the current head of state to maintain aid and social programs in the face of uncertainty and economic regression caused by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
These were parts of Fernández’s words in his closing remarks at the first internal congress of the Fuerza del Pueblo, called “Professor Juan Bosch’s People’s Congress.”
