00:30Simultaneously in our YouTube channel, Telematutino11RN.
00:33Then you can at any time of the day see the comments, the interviews.
00:38Also in the digital OI, you go and at the bottom are also the interviews of each day.
00:45And in my social networks too.
00:47We have a lot of topics.
00:49Let's see how we pack them in no more than 15 minutes.
00:54Our guest today is Mr. Janel Ferreras.
00:57He is a marketer, geopolitical expert, academic, diplomat, author of many books and works.
01:06Let's see, because there are many topics of interest, both internationally and nationally.
01:14Well, yesterday, former President Danilo Medina went to a program, RCC Media, El Sol de la Mañana.
01:23It had been years since the former president and president of the PLD attended a program.
01:29He dealt with the case of his brothers and said that his brothers are victims for being his brothers.
01:36No.
01:38The first mistake is that his brothers could not sell him to the state.
01:44It is true that this is not penal, as you said.
01:47But the purchase law establishes that there are certain ties of consanguinity,
01:52through which, if you are an official, your cousin, your brother, your wife, your son,
01:58cannot do business with the state.
02:01Much less the president's brothers.
02:04Now, to make that a criminal case, I don't get into that.
02:07There are some processes in which, in the end, it will be known if there was overvaluation,
02:13if there were preferences, if the purchase law was violated.
02:18But that is the reality.
02:21They are not imprisoned for being family.
02:23You may complain that they have only infiltrated your government,
02:27because they are not only your brothers.
02:30It is the former minister José Ramón Peralta.
02:33It is the former minister Gonzalo Castillo.
02:37They are his brothers-in-law who have not been promoted.
02:40There is even one of his brothers-in-law who has 3 billion pesos
02:44frozen in the Dominican financial system since 2020.
02:50So, things are not like that.
02:54On the other hand, there is an episode in history
02:58that was the call of Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State of the United States,
03:04in the first government of Donald Trump.
03:08Pompeo called and talked to President Danilo Medina.
03:14And the next day, he spoke to the country,
03:17announcing that he was not going to change his stance,
03:21that he was not going to modify the Constitution,
03:24and that the internal process would be generated.
03:28Again, he says that Pompeo, what he told him was,
03:34that if you are going to do something, do it within the framework of legality.
03:39And he replied to Pompeo that he has always acted within the framework of legality.
03:45But we all lived that process.
03:50That was yesterday.
03:52Even Carlos Amarante amended the plan.
03:57Because let's remember the attempts to modify the Constitution.
04:02Let's remember Leónel Fernández in the esplanade of Congress.
04:09Let's remember the then-candidate,
04:13although he had not yet been a candidate,
04:16Luis Abinadera, making mobilizations.
04:19And it is true that he lacked the votes,
04:22but they were going to be bought, because that is done.
04:26Hippolyte Mejía made the constitutional modification in 2003.
04:35There were ten votes that were missing.
04:38Remember the deputy Botello, with a loudspeaker, denouncing.
04:47So, as Carlos Amarante says,
04:52the president called, long before all this,
04:55he called the aspirants.
04:57And he said, get out, I'm not going to aspire.
05:00But it's a lie.
05:01There were the rallies of the reelection
05:03and the rallies of the constitutional modification.
05:06And in that, even the business community joined.
05:10And many people who are now with Abinader
05:15joined that procession.
05:18But that is the reality.
05:21The modification did not occur because of something Mike Pompeo said.
05:26That is definitely the case.
05:30And Carlos Amarante says that then they saw the reality.
05:36All the support for Gonzalo Castillo.
05:38Let's remember that one of Gonzalo Castillo's files,
05:41which I think has not been processed,
05:43was that of the asphalted.
05:45He asphalted the whole country,
05:48from grade to grade,
05:52to get the support of the mayors.
05:57That is the reality.
06:00Because this is very recent.
06:02History cannot be reversed.
06:04But it's good that the former president assumes his role as an opponent,
06:09the question of the level of indebtedness.
06:12This government has been the champion of indebtedness.
06:16The one who indebted the country the least was Balaguer, who did not indebt it.
06:20And secondly, Leonel Fernández.
06:24Danilo Medina did commit the sin of modifying the composition of the debt.
06:30When Danilo assumed power in 2012,
06:33most of the Dominican debt was multilateral.
06:39It was with governments, it was with the World Bank,
06:43it was with the BID.
06:45And from a bonus issue that Hippolito Mejia did from then on,
06:49it started.
06:51And today, 90% of the debt is a bonus.
06:55And the bad thing about bonuses is that they are never paid.
06:58You pay interest on the bonus.
07:01And when the bonus is won, you have to hook it up again with another bonus.
07:05And if the rate is higher, it's even worse.
07:10That's the reality.
07:13He's doing his role as an opponent.
07:16On the other hand, today there is a very interesting report
07:22by the journalist Doris Pantaleón in El Listín Diario,
07:26where she highlights or compares how,
07:31between 2020 and 2022,
07:344,384 people died from COVID.
07:39But in that same period, 8,599 people died in traffic accidents.
07:46The Dominican Republic is one of the countries in the world
07:50where more people die by accident.
07:52You or I more easily die in an accident
07:56than by a cardiovascular issue,
08:01or by cancer, or by a shot, or a criminal,
08:05or by a police officer not shooting.
08:07Like these days, when a police officer shot a woman
08:10who was in a car with her children.
08:13You go out on the street and your life is in danger.
08:17And nothing has been done about it.
08:21And I want to refer to a recent, very serious case
08:27of an accident, which was not an accident.
08:31It's the case of that young woman who appears on the screen.
08:34Aida Nicole Reyes Gómez.
08:38Aida, 21 years old, was a brilliant student
08:41of marketing and technology.
08:43She graduated in April of this year.
08:46On February 26, she was in her Jeep,
08:51a Jeep that was passing through Churchill.
08:54The traffic light was green,
08:59and a drunk woman, a drunk woman,
09:03took the traffic light in red,
09:08gave it to the Jeep, the Jeep turned around.
09:12She tried to run away, but as a rubber band
09:15got stuck, she had to stop.
09:18Do I say her name?
09:21Yes, Raquel Guzmán Torres.
09:24She is the wife of a former congressman,
09:29but I'm not going to say his name,
09:32because it's not her fault.
09:34But the serious thing is, ladies and gentlemen,
09:37kind television viewers, that 9-11
09:40took 45 minutes to arrive.
09:43There were even people who wanted to take her
09:46to a nearby hospital, and the police
09:48didn't allow it.
09:51She died, she lost a life.
09:54But the serious thing about all this
09:56is that the family demanded that they
09:59do the alcohol test on the lady,
10:03two tests, and they gave her 0.68 and 0.77 grams per liter.
10:09The law says that when it's more than 0.50,
10:12you shouldn't drive.
10:15Do you know how serious the case is?
10:17That the Public Prosecutor's Office,
10:19listen to this, the prosecutors,
10:21asked to exclude from the case
10:24the data of the alcohol level of the driver.
10:28The family had to take to the streets yesterday
10:31with banners in Churchill,
10:34because they not only have the pain
10:36of the loss of Aida Nicole Reyes,
10:40but also the pain of wanting
10:42to set the person free.
10:44Gentlemen, in the United States,
10:46a drunk person goes through a red light
10:49and causes death.
10:51And that's an involuntary homicide,
10:53and they sentence her to 20 years.
10:55Listen to this, they're moving
10:57so that nothing happens to that lady
11:01who caused the death
11:04of a bright young woman
11:06who had a bright future.
11:08She's driving drunk.
11:12That has to have consequences.
11:14She has to pay for that imprudence.
11:17But that's this country, gentlemen.
11:20I join the pain of that family,
11:22because I'm a father, and I'm a grandfather,
11:25and I live in fear.
11:27My older grandchildren go out,
11:29they go to parties, of course,
11:31they take them and look for them.
11:33I have that fear.
11:34She was driving normally,
11:36the traffic light turned green,
11:38and there was a drunk lady
11:40who took the traffic light
11:42and hit her so hard that she threw up.
11:45Let's see what happens here,
11:47because this has to be followed up.
11:49This can't stay like this.
11:51It can't stay like this.
11:55Because that wasn't a pure and simple accident.
11:57There was an imprudence
11:59and a violation of the law.
12:03On the other hand,
12:06let's go to the fourth blow,
12:08as my friend, economist Rolando Reyes,
12:10says in his article,
12:12first blow, second blow, third blow.
12:14Let's go to the fourth blow.
12:16Look, Minister Hito Bisonó
12:18has been making efforts
12:20to install
12:22in the Dominican Republic
12:24companies
12:26that process
12:28drivers,
12:30semiconductors,
12:34which are key
12:36in chips,
12:38and chips today
12:40are used for cell phones,
12:42for vehicles, for everything.
12:44And I think that's why
12:46the Dominican economy has to go
12:48towards high-tech industries.
12:50But what happens?
12:52Donald Trump,
12:54in an act where he announced
12:56that a Taiwanese company,
12:58the world's leading company in chips,
13:00is going to invest
13:02100 billion dollars
13:04to install them
13:06in the United States.
13:08But he asked Congress
13:10to eliminate the incentives
13:12that were established
13:14in Biden's government
13:16for the installation of semiconductors
13:18industries.
13:20And here,
13:22Hito Bisonó and the president
13:24were going to launch that initiative
13:26taking advantage
13:28of the incentives of the United States
13:30to the industries.
13:32Even the Secretary of State
13:34of the United States
13:36in his visit
13:38said that semiconductors
13:40are vital,
13:42that the Dominican Republic,
13:44because of the Neshoring issue,
13:46was important,
13:48and that they were going to support that initiative.
13:50Of course, he didn't know what Toronto was thinking.
13:52That's why I wrote an article
13:54saying that Neshoring
13:56is at the forefront of Trump's policies.
13:58Trump wants the industries
14:00to be established in the United States,
14:02not in Mexico, not in the Dominican Republic,
14:04not in the United States.
14:06And that's why
14:08the tariffs are in Mexico.
14:10He
14:12put on stand-by
14:14for a month
14:16the issue of vehicles,
14:18because Ford and General Motors
14:20have plants in Mexico,
14:22which, taking advantage of the Free Trade Agreement,
14:24decided to invest,
14:26but they manufacture automobiles.
14:28Mexico has a production capacity
14:30of 5 million vehicles,
14:32exports 3.7 million
14:34and 2.7 million to the United States,
14:36but they also import parts
14:38of vehicles.
14:40So today,
14:42the investment is paralyzed.
14:44No investor dares
14:46to come to the Dominican Republic
14:48or any other country to set up an industry
14:50because they don't know
14:52what Trump is going to come up with.
14:54That's the situation.
14:56Finally,
14:58or not finally,
15:00this is the penultimate blow,
15:02the Reserve Bank announces
15:04its MyPymes fair.
15:06This is an important fair.
15:08We have to give support
15:10to the micro,
15:12to the small, medium-sized companies,
15:14which is the real industrial fabric.
15:16That fair has an interest rate
15:18of 1.5, which is very low
15:20today, because the active rate
15:22for the medium-sized companies
15:24is 15 and something.
15:26That's for six months.
15:28And the fair,
15:30the small business
15:32can go to any branch
15:34of the Reserve Bank
15:36and this will last two months.
15:38They facilitated
15:40last year,
15:42around,
15:44I'm looking for the data
15:46in my memory,
15:48of
15:5035 billion.
15:52I hope to put more money
15:54because we have to give support.
15:56One of the problems of the MyPymes
15:58is the financing, but it's also
16:00the many bureaucratic obstacles
16:02and the taxes and the advancements
16:04and the ITB, which makes it difficult
16:06for people to formalize.
16:08Finally, I invite you to my article
16:10this week, which is titled
16:12Interest Rate Supplemented
16:14to the Exchange Rate.
16:16Here we have always had a very high
16:18interest rate. Despite that, the economy
16:20grows, but it grew at a time
16:22when public investment was very high.
16:24For us, until 2008,
16:26the active rate, average
16:28and weighted, that is, the rate at which
16:30the banks lend, average, was
16:3220%.
16:34Only in 2008
16:36did it go down to 12
16:38and 13% in 2017.
16:40But of the 22 in advance,
16:4215 and something, despite
16:44the efforts of the Central Bank,
16:46the rate in February,
16:48average, was 15.7.
16:50Very high.
16:52That's the weighted rate.
16:54Consumer loans
16:56are above 20%.
16:58The mortgage holders have another rate.
17:00It depends on the type of loan.
17:02Now, why is this generated?
17:04Because the Central Bank has had
17:06a policy of favoring
17:08the stability
17:10of the exchange rate
17:12at the expense of the interest rate.
17:14And as you hear,
17:16the bank says, it injected liquidity
17:18and facilitated resources to the banks,
17:20injects liquidity on one side
17:22and takes it out on the other.
17:24But I invite you to read my article
17:26that is on the digital page of El Periodico Hoy,
17:28El Periodico Hoy Físico, and also
17:30on my social networks.
17:32We're going to commercials.
17:34Don't miss the interview with Mr.
17:36Luis Rivera, who is a multifaceted man.
17:38He's a marketer.
17:40He's an expert in geopolitics.
17:42He's a diplomat.
17:44He's an academic.
17:46So, with him, we have current issues.
17:48All current issues.
18:06El Periodico Hoy Físico
18:08El Periodico Hoy Físico
18:10El Periodico Hoy Físico
18:12El Periodico Hoy Físico
18:14El Periodico Hoy Físico
18:16El Periodico Hoy Físico
18:18The telematutino interview
18:20is an important event.
18:22We have a relatively young man
18:24with extraordinary versatility.
18:26He's a marketer.
18:28He's a diplomat.
18:30He's an academic.
18:32He's an expert in geopolitics.
18:34He's a conference speaker
18:36at an international level,
18:38projecting the country.
18:40He's a drone pilot.
18:42He's also a communicator.
18:44There are many things.
18:46Mr. Janel Ferreira,
18:48I thank you for accepting
18:50the invitation to the telematutino.
18:52I think the gratitude is ours
18:54because you represent one of the people
18:56with the greatest projection
18:58and, above all, a protagonist
19:00of the last 50 years of Dominican journalism.
19:02Even though I didn't study journalism.
19:04No, but journalism is an exercise.
19:06I'm a civil engineer
19:08and an economist.
19:10Janel, let's start
19:12with the issue of Donald Trump,
19:14which is what has occupied
19:16all the newspapers.
19:18The issue of tarpaulins,
19:20the impact.
19:22I already commented on the idea
19:24of manufacturing semiconductors here.
19:26No investor in the United States
19:28will risk investing
19:30outside the United States
19:32with Trump's line
19:34that it has to be there
19:36to face the problems.
19:38What do you think of Trump's policies?
19:40Look, in principle, Donald Trump,
19:42when he's campaigning,
19:44sets up his campaign command
19:46on three fundamental axes.
19:48First, the pacification of the world.
19:50I had found it in a war process
19:52both in the Middle East and in Asia.
19:54The war between Russia and Ukraine
19:56and the conflicts of Israel
19:58that is never to fly,
20:00the Revolutionary Guard, the Houthis,
20:02and now the last conflict
20:04in the Golan Heights.
20:06The second element of Trump
20:08was to dynamize the American economy
20:10that understood that it had had
20:12a reception under the administration
20:14of Joe Biden.
20:16And the third point,
20:18and no less important,
20:20that affects us in Latin America,
20:22was the end of the so-called
20:24return to Mexico,
20:26through this disgrace
20:28of 2.0 communication,
20:30where people see you in New York
20:32going to an academic activity
20:34and seeing you eating a hot dog
20:36and saying, well, I'm going to the American dream.
20:38Because Valbuena says in the movie
20:40that the dollars are on the ground.
20:42That's not true.
20:44The American economy is a horizontal economy
20:46that allows you to progress,
20:48but there is a component in the United States
20:50that people have to know about in the Dominican Republic.
20:52No one progresses without working.
20:54That's not true.
20:56You have to work and work a lot.
20:58And in fact,
21:00the Dominican diaspora
21:02that has progressed in the United States
21:04has a very beautiful story of sacrifice,
21:06of getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning,
21:08of beating the snow in the winter,
21:10of sacrificing yourself.
21:12All that growth
21:14is based on a sacrifice of work.
21:16So the one who is lazy here
21:18and goes around Mexico
21:20thinks that being lazy he is going to progress.
21:22You have to work.
21:24So Donald Trump has changed
21:26an economic matrix
21:28that was possibly supported
21:30in the recent past
21:32of a war economy
21:34by an orange economy.
21:36In the end,
21:38when we see in the commercial balance
21:40what it represents for Mexico,
21:42Canada and China,
21:44but especially for Mexico and Canada,
21:46which are the peripheral countries
21:48where there is an important free trade treaty
21:50between those states
21:52and where a large part of international trade
21:54used the territory of Mexico
21:56and Canada to manufacture and assemble
21:58parts to obtain
22:00that ease of free trade
22:02with the United States.
22:04China was the triangulation.
22:06Exactly. But what happens?
22:08There is a 10% for Chinese products
22:10and another 10% is added
22:12to reach a 20%.
22:14In the case of Mexico and Canada,
22:16there is a 25%.
22:18What does the trade of the United States
22:20represent with respect to them?
22:22For example,
22:24Canada in 2023,
22:26its exports to the United States
22:28represented 76%
22:30of the consolidated.
22:32In the case of Mexico,
22:3478%.
22:36That represented for Mexico
22:3837% of the GDP
22:40and for Canada 19%.
22:42But what about the United States?
22:44The United States exports
22:46to Mexico and Canada
22:48less than 3% of the GDP,
22:50which represents that in a war
22:52of sparrows, Mexico
22:54and Canada are losing to Donald Trump.
22:56Donald Trump has to be seen
22:58in the context of ...
23:00But internal prices increase.
23:02But they increase in a brief process.
23:04It is not inflationary as they say.
23:06No, no, no. And also what it seeks,
23:08you said it wisely in the intro,
23:10is to change the habit
23:12of consumption of the North American.
23:14It is not only to bring
23:16that international capitals
23:18set up companies in the territory of the North American.
23:20Companies that went
23:22abroad for a matter of
23:24lowering labor costs.
23:26But the North American who puts
23:28a vehicle, for example, Chevrolet brand
23:30or Ford, it does not matter to them,
23:32which is of North American origin
23:34and that vehicle costs $ 40,000.
23:36The equivalent of those
23:38brands, if you are going to look for a Toyota
23:40that is manufactured in Mexico, for example,
23:42or a Nissan that can be assembled in Canada
23:44and they put 25% of the
23:46swing to a vehicle that costs
23:48$ 50,000, it will pay
23:50$ 62,500.
23:52So the North American who has the money
23:54to buy a vehicle that has
23:56parallel competencies, prefers to buy
23:58its original brand to save
24:00$ 12,500. The original brand that is manufactured
24:02there, because if it is manufactured in Mexico
24:04and in Canada, it will pay more.
24:06Because that's why they gave the price a month,
24:08Ford and General Motors, which are in Mexico.
24:10I think that in the end,
24:12Trump is looking to make a great
24:14commercial pact
24:16to negotiate favorably
24:18towards the North American economy,
24:20because Trump is not going to bet on the economy
24:22of war. I have always said
24:24that this war conflict, for me,
24:26is a failed extension
24:28of diplomacy,
24:30but it also generates great resources
24:32for a war industry.
24:34Because most of the military
24:36zone of the world, especially
24:38the main countries, the United States,
24:40Germany, the Kingdom of England
24:42and France, increased
24:44by 600%.
24:46Every missile that detonates in the Gaza Strip,
24:48or in Ukraine,
24:50or in Donbass,
24:52even a woman who
24:54sells bananas in the mines pays for it.
24:56Why? Because it is an interconnected economy,
24:58and when the price of fuel rises,
25:00or of energy, because there is
25:02an oil conflict in the world, because the passage
25:04of Bad El Mande,
25:06the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal,
25:08increases the maritime fleet,
25:10we all pay for it.
25:12The increase in the world,
25:14in an interconnected economy, is everyone's responsibility.
25:16Even a greenhouse
25:18in the mines market
25:20has to do with that war economy.
25:22So the world could not
25:24continue to bet on that conflict.
25:26I think that Trump, in that part,
25:28is right, and I don't know
25:30to what extent we,
25:32in the case of the Dominican Republic,
25:34have to bet on what affects us,
25:36that war component,
25:38that arancelario component.
25:40We have to make an urgent plan here.
25:42We have to
25:44bet on our strength.
25:46It is true that there was
25:48an international policy of the United States
25:50so that the peripheral countries,
25:52especially in Biden's administration,
25:54were used as special areas
25:56for the manufacture of that nanotechnology.
25:58Because that's where the world goes.
26:00We are talking about artificial intelligence.
26:02Those 17 elements of the periodic table
26:04that we now have,
26:06possibly, a settlement
26:08in the southern region of the republic,
26:10especially in the area of the hole of Pelempito
26:12and Cabo Rojo,
26:14we have to apply
26:16rapid intelligence in that trade war.
26:18Our diplomatic capacity
26:20must become
26:22a kind of urgent lobby
26:24to be strong in what we are.
26:26In what? In tourism.
26:28We have to plant the land.
26:30We have an advantage,
26:32Núñez.
26:34The Dominican Republic will always have water
26:36because the cold winds from the north
26:38will collide with the warm ones from the Caribbean.
26:40And in that central mountain range there will always be water.
26:42We have to make a plan of reforestation,
26:44of care.
26:46As long as they don't let it be deforested.
26:48Of course, but it is already a human component.
26:50There is a combination
26:52between the grace of nature,
26:54the components of the divinity of God
26:56for the Judeo-Christian believers like me,
26:58and the human component,
27:00because I will give you the tools,
27:02but if you don't take care of them, you won't have them.
27:04If we make a plan,
27:06and that's why I think that
27:08in the case of former president Joaquín Balaguer,
27:10he had a great vision
27:12regarding environmental protection.
27:14Whenever we evaluate
27:16the historical entities
27:18of the Dominican Republic,
27:20one cannot get excited
27:22about things of light and shadow.
27:24The great contributions of men in the Dominican Republic
27:26have to be seen in time.
27:28If there is tourism, it is for Balaguer.
27:30If there is a frank area,
27:32the dams that we have,
27:3490% were made for Balaguer.
27:36Of course, so we have an advantage,
27:38but also a disadvantage.
27:40Our geographical condition
27:42gives us that advantage,
27:44but if we don't take care of it, we can have a lot of problems.
27:46We are an island.
27:48We are not part of a continental platform.
27:50So we have as neighbors
27:52a country that doesn't believe
27:54in those environmental elements.
27:56It's not true that Haiti was always...
27:58But I want to leave the subject of Haiti
28:00to deal with it specifically.
28:02I want to sum up with this.
28:04How do you see the situation in Europe?
28:06A Europe that was protected
28:08by the United States,
28:10and now everyone says,
28:12no, increase your defense spending,
28:14prepare yourself, because there is no doubt
28:16that Putin and Russia represent a risk for Europe,
28:18or for the European peripheral countries
28:20of Russia.
28:22I think that
28:24the conflict between Russia and Ukraine
28:26didn't start in Russia
28:28or in Ukraine.
28:30For me, there was an international lobby
28:32for that conflict to break out,
28:34because that has been going on since 2014,
28:36since the Euromaidan.
28:38So the Europeans, in the case of Germany,
28:40for example, Germany had
28:42one of the top economies
28:44in the entire European bloc,
28:46but that economy was sustained
28:48because it had cheap energy.
28:50But cheap energy represented
28:52a component of Russia
28:54that had practically
28:56a direct line to Germany,
28:58and the energy components
29:00had a low cost.
29:02When they decide to connect,
29:04in the end, the beneficiaries of that conflict
29:06were China and the United States.
29:08Today, the Europeans have a tragedy.
29:10Most of the European leaders
29:12are in conflict with the social base
29:14that governs them.
29:16If you look, for example,
29:18at what happened in Germany,
29:20the leaders were in third place,
29:22and now they practically have
29:24a divided society.
29:26Yes, exactly.
29:28Because the world is looking
29:30for everything that has been known
29:32in the opposite direction.
29:34That's why there are great changes.
29:36Look at how a government
29:38with a social-democratic thinking,
29:40when they go to elections,
29:42a person comes
29:44with a totally opposite speech,
29:46looking for salvation.
29:48And the Europeans have a tragedy
29:50like we have.
29:52Immigration.
29:54Yes, exactly.
29:56Immigration is highly dangerous
29:58because it is fundamentalist.
30:00They are people that you have
30:02living with you, but suddenly
30:04you don't know to what extent
30:06they are going to explode.
30:08Because of that belief of the Muslim area,
30:10of the Diyadists, of the Houthis.
30:12They don't adapt to society.
30:14No, they can't adapt
30:16because of their nature,
30:18which is contrary to the genesis of where they come from.
30:20Immigration is not positive.
30:22When you are brought to a territory
30:24and you carry your customs,
30:26if those customs are bad customs,
30:28then you are going to harm that society.
30:30So today Europe has a tragedy.
30:34Most of those powers
30:36have changed their eating habits.
30:38People who were in the middle class
30:40have started to buy
30:42products in special areas
30:44of Aranceles.
30:46And others have had to go
30:48to community hostels.
30:50And that has been a great shame
30:52for the Europeans.
30:54To have to eat every day
30:56through a practically
30:58terrorist contribution.
31:00In addition to the aging population.
31:02Exactly. They didn't believe
31:04the European population
31:06that represents humanity.
31:08When China and India
31:10have more than 1,200,
31:12more than 1,300 million inhabitants.
31:14Where Africa represents
31:16the largest number of young laborers.
31:18Where America,
31:20for example, the American youth,
31:22has a tragedy due to
31:24vices and musical decomposition.
31:26Where does the world look?
31:28So the Europeans have always been
31:30the cradle of thought
31:32of modern Western civilization.
31:34We are a Judeo-Christian heritage,
31:36but really the four countries
31:38that had the most influence
31:40in America were Spain, France,
31:42Portugal and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
31:44But today,
31:46Europe is not a model for anyone.
31:48The Europeans
31:50are looking for,
31:52within the peripheral conflicts,
31:54their salvation.
31:56But one does not see it in the short term.
32:00In the end, it is not known.
32:02I think that behind all these
32:04movements,
32:06there are two blocs facing each other,
32:08the G7 bloc and the BRICS.
32:10In the background,
32:12I think that...
32:14It is not China, but the United States.
32:16No, no, no, the blocs.
32:18And that is why,
32:20in the case of Turkey,
32:22which is the only country
32:24that is part
32:26of the NATO bloc,
32:28but already has a
32:30leading thread
32:32towards the BRICS.
32:34I do not know
32:36to what extent Donald Trump,
32:38with his administration,
32:40with his proximity to Russia,
32:42and with the distancing he has marked
32:44with the G7 members,
32:46will be able to dilute these tensions,
32:48but it is unbearable.
32:50All the countries of the world,
32:52especially us, in an emerging economy,
32:54had to sleep in three beds.
32:56There were only three beds in the world.
32:58You slept in the Chinese bed,
33:00the American bed or your own bed,
33:02and you can move around the world
33:04without a commercial connection.
33:06Interesting, Janel.
33:08We are going to take a short break,
33:10now that we still have issues
33:12with this young polyphysetic.
33:32We continue with the story of Janel Ferreiras,
34:00as I have said on several occasions.
34:02He is a marketer,
34:04he is an expert in geopolitics,
34:06he demonstrated this in the previous segment,
34:08he is a communicator,
34:10he is a conference speaker,
34:12he drives drones,
34:14he makes documentaries
34:16to project the country.
34:18All the issues are global,
34:20but there is one issue
34:22that is perhaps the main
34:24issue of the Dominican Republic,
34:26which is the issue of Haiti,
34:28because Trump eliminated
34:30the TPS and the TPA,
34:32and it is likely that half a million
34:34Haitians will be deported,
34:36and when they are sent to Haiti,
34:38there is no doubt
34:40that they come to the Dominican Republic.
34:42How do you visualize
34:44this Haitian issue,
34:46and how do you prevent that,
34:48after two decades,
34:50the majority of the population
34:52is Haitian?
34:54Look, the main threat
34:56is that the Dominican Republic
34:58represents Haiti,
35:00but that is not new,
35:02it has always been like that.
35:04At the moment,
35:06there is a deep
35:08lack of knowledge
35:10of the Dominican-Haitian history,
35:12so with the maximization
35:14of communication 2.0,
35:16there are many people
35:18opining on the Haitian issue,
35:20and there is a thesis,
35:22a theory, that the Dominicans
35:24do not represent Haiti,
35:26and that is not true.
35:28There is no population
35:30that has treated Haitians
35:32better than the Dominican Republic.
35:34Now, what happens?
35:36Haiti represents a permanent threat
35:38to the Dominican society
35:40since the very creation
35:42of Haiti,
35:44on January 1st, 1804.
35:46Haiti was born,
35:48in principle,
35:50by a movement of the Spanish colony
35:52after the devastation of Osorio
35:54at the beginning of the 17th century,
35:561605.
35:58It turns out that
36:00the arrival of the Spaniards
36:02to the island of Santo Domingo
36:04coincided with an event
36:06at the beginning of the 17th century,
36:08sorry,
36:10of the 16th century,
36:12which was the thesis of Martin Luther.
36:14So, when that area
36:16of piracy reached the island
36:18of La Tortuga,
36:20at the beginning of the 1600s,
36:221700s,
36:24they began to traffick not only animals
36:26and skins,
36:28they also began to bring Lutheran bibles,
36:30the thesis of Martin Luther.
36:32That caused,
36:34I would say,
36:36an astonishment towards the Spanish colony,
36:38which was a Catholic colony,
36:40and did not want
36:42any kind of expansion
36:44of that Lutheran thought
36:46on the island of Santo Domingo.
36:48From there it reached the area
36:50of piracy, Braxambela,
36:52Mendoza, Mendoza.
36:54The devastations of Osorio.
36:56Yes, the devastations were at the beginning of the 1600s,
36:58when the populations were devastated,
37:00which is where the community of
37:02Vallaguana and Monteplata was born.
37:04The population of Monteplata and Montecristi merged
37:06and Monteplata was formed there.
37:08And from Vallajá and Lallaguana,
37:10then Vallaguana came out.
37:12Then that population was depopulated,
37:14as its name indicates.
37:16But it turns out
37:18that those pirates,
37:20Braxambela, Benjamin Hornigom,
37:22Anne Benn, and Edouard Altar,
37:24who is well known,
37:26there are people who know him
37:28for the satire and the series
37:30of the Pirates of the Caribbean,
37:32by Balbanegra and Captain Jasparro,
37:34but that was real.
37:36From there, then, the French
37:38stayed on the part of the turtle.
37:40And there are some important treaties.
37:42In fact, to know this story,
37:44I am bringing this general collection of treaties
37:46from my friend and professor, Ambassador
37:48William Pai Piantini,
37:50because there are the treaties
37:52that gave rise to this population,
37:54African in principle and then Haitian.
37:56These Africans did not arrive alone.
37:58These Africans were brought by the Europeans
38:00for massive exploitation.
38:02But it turns out that
38:04from the creation
38:06of the French Revolution
38:08in 1789,
38:10where that spirit of the free man
38:12was born,
38:14those ideas that were given
38:16in France were not well seen
38:18in the part of Saint-Domingue.
38:20Why? Because here
38:22production and wealth
38:24were generated
38:26from the very exploitation of man.
38:28It was the richest colony.
38:30It was richer than the 13 British colonies
38:32of what was later
38:34the United States.
38:36But we who consume coffee and tea,
38:38Haiti came to represent
38:406 pounds of every 100 that the world consumed
38:42at one time.
38:44But Haiti was born without identity.
38:46That revolution of 1789,
38:48the French Revolution,
38:50there is a mulatto called Vincent Oguet
38:52who was the son of
38:54a French white
38:56and an African black.
38:58He says, we, the mulattos,
39:00we have to have a little
39:02right because that French Revolution
39:04has already said that here we are all free.
39:06And he is pursued.
39:08He comes to the eastern part
39:10of the island
39:12and the Spaniards here take him,
39:14make him a prisoner and give him to the French
39:16and he dies with one of the most terrible
39:18deaths. They kill him with the wheel.
39:20But a year later, in 1791,
39:22is the day
39:24Haiti was born.
39:26Haiti was born on August 14, 1791
39:28with a pact
39:30called the Bois-Caimans Pact,
39:32led by
39:34a voodoo priest,
39:36an African voodoo priest
39:38and a witch called Cécile Fatima,
39:40who was the daughter of a white and a black.
39:42They have stopped in the oases of Sidi Danto
39:44and Ogun Balaga.
39:46When they make that Bois-Caimans Pact,
39:48on August 14, 1791,
39:50they say,
39:52the god of the whites, of the French,
39:54they kill us, they humiliate us
39:56and they don't obey the clouds.
39:58So from there, the god of the blacks
40:00invites us to seek revenge.
40:02That is the night when they go out to kill
40:04all the whites.
40:06And they make the most terrible massacre
40:08known to the Haitian part of that time.
40:10A year later comes the knife war
40:12and they already achieve their independence
40:14on January 1, 1884.
40:16And they also destroyed the productive apparatus
40:18because they burned the ingenious.
40:20But they burned it, not because they wanted to burn it.
40:22They burned it because they were born without identity.
40:24Exactly.
40:26Haiti's great strength in time
40:28has become its main weakness,
40:30which is the cultural thread.
40:32That's why we see that in the Bois-Caimans Pact,
40:34in the ritual of Esiridantot
40:36and Ogumba Lagrigui,
40:38they bury a rooster in the ground,
40:40but they did the same effect
40:42under the conflict of the Dominican-Haitian Canal
40:44in the other days, they buried a rooster.
40:46Look how, a century later,
40:48the Haitians cannot disconnect their genesis,
40:50their genesis of violence.
40:52Why do the Haitians, when they kill
40:54Jovenel Moïse, they break his bones
40:56with fire weapons?
40:58Well, it wasn't the Colombians,
41:00it was the theory for the West
41:02to buy the plot.
41:04They break his bones because in the Haitian tradition,
41:06if they don't break his bones,
41:08he becomes a zombie
41:10and they chase him.
41:12Look at the population we are fighting.
41:14So, the Dominican Republic
41:16is also born with a pact,
41:18but our pact is different,
41:20it's the pact of the Trinitarians.
41:22In 1838,
41:24Juan Pablo Duarte,
41:26together with a group of young people,
41:28decides to make a society
41:30that wasn't secret because it was a model,
41:32because it was a fashion.
41:34It was secret
41:36because the Haitians at the time
41:38massacred them.
41:40One of the main demands
41:42of the Haitian domain for 22 years
41:44was that
41:46the citizen who caught
41:48Juan Pablo Duarte
41:50would get the rank of colonel
41:52and 3,000 pesos.
41:54That is a fortune for the time.
41:56So,
41:58we are born with that situation.
42:00We have lost our cultural thread.
42:02Here we don't know who is Duarte,
42:04who is Mella, who is Luperon, who is Sánchez,
42:06who was María Trinidad Sánchez,
42:08who was
42:10Concepción Bona.
42:12That theory of the Dominican flag,
42:14for example, is a
42:16miscounted construction.
42:18The Dominican flag
42:20is a redeeming flag of the French flag
42:22because the Haitians,
42:24when they are born with their republic,
42:26they hate France so much
42:28that they decide to cut
42:30the white of the French flag.
42:32They turn blue and red
42:34and that's how the Haitian flag is born.
42:36So, Juan Pablo Duarte tells
42:38María Trinidad Sánchez and Concepción Bona
42:40to put a cross
42:42of the Trinity of God
42:44in the center and that's how
42:46the Dominican flag is born.
42:48That's why I always oppose
42:50that the Dominicans degrade the blue and red crown
42:52for the center, not because
42:54it is a matter of racism.
42:56It is that the people who forget their history
42:58will be condemned to repeat it.
43:00And we are what we are
43:02for our history.
43:04We cannot forget our genesis.
43:06We are a Spanish heritage
43:08that arrives in 1492
43:10to these coasts.
43:12We founded the first city
43:14in Isabela, the first settlement
43:16in the Casicazo de Marién,
43:18the first city of Santo Domingo,
43:20practically ending
43:22the 15th century.
43:24But the Haitians arrive
43:26after the Osorio devastation,
43:28after the massification of slavery,
43:30where the African population
43:32represented 84% of San Domingo.
43:34Here we had
43:36a slavery, but softer.
43:38Yes, but the slavery of us,
43:40because there is this great detail,
43:42and how good you make that introduction.
43:44Look, the black Americans,
43:46the blacks of the Patanemo Bay in Venezuela,
43:48the blacks of Cuba,
43:50the blacks of San José de Mendoza,
43:52of Mandinga and of the Minas,
43:54and the blacks of Haiti,
43:56they are the same blacks.
43:58The only thing is that the other blacks
44:00were able to adapt to the Judeo-Christian component.
44:02The Africans remained a pure colony
44:04because of that resentment
44:06towards the French,
44:08and they remained trapped in time.
44:10That is the great detail.
44:12But the blacks of Brazil, the blacks of North America,
44:14the blacks of Jamaica, the blacks of Haiti,
44:16the Africans,
44:18they adapted and assumed the English language
44:20in Jamaica,
44:22the Portuguese language in Brazil,
44:24the Spanish language
44:26in San José de Mendoza.
44:28But the Haitians stayed behind
44:30and are still behind.
44:32The Haitians have not overcome
44:34that denial of their principles,
44:36and it is true that it is a tragedy,
44:38that shock
44:40that the French had on them.
44:42And it is true that to achieve their independence
44:44they had to pay a high price.
44:46All that is true.
44:48And it is true that most of the wealth
44:50of the Haitian people went to three territories,
44:52which everyone knows who they are,
44:54especially the United States, Canada and France.
44:56But there is a reality.
44:58The growth of Haiti in the Dominican territory
45:00represents our greatest threat.
45:02It is not possible that the Dominican Republic,
45:04in some provinces,
45:06of every 20 women who are born,
45:08who give birth to a child,
45:1018 are Haitians and 2 are Dominicans.
45:12That is a tragedy.
45:14So, our productive apparatus
45:16has justified
45:18that the Haitian labor
45:20in three or four fundamental elements
45:22for our economy,
45:24such as tourism, construction,
45:26agriculture and informality,
45:28are Haitian.
45:30That is not possible.
45:32It is not because we are anti-Haitian.
45:34We are going to disappear.
45:36You give 20 years, I give 10.
45:38I give 10.
45:40The Haitians have already entered
45:42a stage of normalization of the invasion.
45:44If we are going to see a coconut
45:46on the street,
45:48the subconscious tells you that
45:50a Haitian is going to buy it.
45:52But the probability that a Haitian
45:54is going to buy it is more than 99%.
45:56And the fruit vendor on the corner too.
45:58But even the street vendors.
46:00Yesterday, when I got to my apartment,
46:02my daughters went to visit me
46:04to do a homework,
46:06and when I opened the window,
46:08there was a little Haitian plant.
46:10Right behind it,
46:12there was a little plant selling
46:14live chickens to kill Haitians.
46:16But there is a building in front of it
46:18where 100% of Haitians work.
46:20Can we live with that? No.
46:22Are we anti-Haitian?
46:24No, we are not anti-Haitian.
46:26We are not anti-anything.
46:28What we are is Dominican.
46:30And our only territory is this.
46:32We cannot go to Puerto Rico,
46:34or Venezuela, or Colombia, or Argentina
46:36to demand the rights
46:38of the Dominican Republic of Duarte.
46:40We cannot raise our flag.
46:42So, if we lose,
46:44because of birth conditions,
46:46the territory, because the demography
46:48and the geography
46:50indicate the future of the peoples,
46:52we are not going to move from here.
46:54But we are called
46:56to disappear
46:58if Haitian growth continues in that dimension.
47:00Unfortunately.
47:02So, the Haitians are not...
47:04Now there is a conflict
47:06in social media
47:08regarding Haitians and Venezuelans,
47:10which was seen as a joke.
47:12Gentlemen, Venezuelans are our brothers,
47:14not because they only speak Spanish.
47:16We come from
47:18the same genesis.
47:20We are a Taíno heritage
47:22that comes from
47:24Dorinoco,
47:26called the Arawaks.
47:28Before the Spaniards,
47:30the first inhabitants of the island of Santo Domingo,
47:32which were divided into medium Taínos,
47:34the great Taínos and the lower ones,
47:36come precisely
47:38from the shores of Dorinoco
47:40and the bay of Patanemo.
47:42But they are the Arawaks.
47:44But also, where does Juan Pablo Duarte die?
47:46He dies in Caracas.
47:48And what is the link
47:50between us and the Venezuelans?
47:52It is a historical link
47:54of the same populations,
47:56because the majority of those Spanish populations
47:58left Santo Domingo
48:00and Azoa de Compostela.
48:02Those who discover Mexico
48:04leave Azoa de Compostela.
48:06Those who discover Peru and arrive in Panama
48:08leave precisely Santo Domingo.
48:10A large part of the
48:12legal discussions
48:14in the colonial era,
48:16in the Venezuelan coast,
48:18were decided in the courts of Santo Domingo.
48:20So how are you going to ignore that?
48:22How are you going to confuse a Venezuelan
48:24with a Haitian for a beauty issue?
48:26No, it's not about that.
48:28Venezuela was in its oil boom.
48:30Many Dominicans
48:32emigrated to Venezuela.
48:34The Dominicans had three fundamental origins,
48:36or three
48:38populations where they emigrated.
48:40New York in the United States,
48:42Madrid, Barcelona in Spain,
48:44and Caracas, Venezuela.
48:46In fact, in Venezuela,
48:50in the last ten years,
48:52I have had to go to Venezuela more than 19 times.
48:54I even gave some
48:56free conferences in Venezuela.
48:58And I have a very affectionate bond with Venezuela.
49:00In Venezuela, there is a tradition that says
49:02that Dominican women are the women that women cook.
49:04Why? Because in the area of
49:06Venezuelan mining,
49:08the Dominicans, in the 70s and 80s,
49:10formalized fund business
49:12and taught
49:14that rice with guandules
49:16and that quinchoncho because
49:18it's the same thing. For us it's vegetables,
49:20for them it's flax. For us
49:22it's yautia, for them it's okumo.
49:24For us it's chinola, for them
49:26it's passion fruit, possibly.
49:28So, that
49:30very similar identity, we cannot
49:32forget it. Also,
49:34the Venezuelans in the Dominican territory
49:36were not responsible for the
49:38Moca collapse in 1805.
49:40The Venezuelans did not come here in 1822
49:42and did not occupy for 22 years.
49:44You cannot confuse
49:46Jean-Jacques de Salines
49:48and Tussauds de Louverture
49:50with Sibón Bolívar and Miranda.
49:54You cannot confuse
49:56the brotherhood with Venezuela
49:58because they are white and beautiful.
50:00No. Also,
50:02Venezuelan women
50:04in public hospitals
50:06do not represent 0.02%
50:08of births.
50:10Haitians in some provinces
50:12represent 90%
50:14of births. It's serious.
50:16Janel, what a shame you don't have more time
50:18but I'm impressed and I hope
50:20to have you here more often.
50:22Well, it's a privilege for me.
50:24Every time you need me, I'll be here
50:26because
50:28I grew up
50:30following the formality
50:32of your communication.
50:34I think it's important
50:36that your experience
50:38serves to link these new thoughts
50:40that we have.
50:42Again, thank you very much, Janel.
50:44Let's go to commercials.
50:46See you in the final stretch of
50:48Telematutino 11.
