The Director of Budget, José Rijo Presbot, said that for the first time the municipalities will pay the royalty to their employees on December 5, so they will not have to borrow for these purposes.
Rijo Presbot assured that this practice was eliminated since last year and the mayors will no longer have to go into debt.
The official added that all people (around 1,350,000 citizens), also for the first time, will receive a royalty through the Supérate card, a program that was previously called “Eating is first” and was RD $ 800, while now They are RD $ 1,650.
“We are making every effort. We are subsidizing fertilizers so that agricultural products do not arrive more expensively, we are subsidizing flour and we are subsidizing prices so that increases from abroad do not affect us so much, but direct aid is consigned in the Christmas voucher “, explained Rijo Presbot, al add that all these aids are contemplated in the budget.
