Piera Responde a la declaración de la Presidencia ", por lo patético"

SANTO DOMINGO, República Dominicana (defend.ht) - El periodista Nuria Piera dominicano lamentó en la televisión la noche del lunes que el presidente Martelly había recibido dinero de Dominicana senador Félix Bautista, después de su toma de posesión como Presidente de Haití.

Según AlterPresse, Piera was responding to the statement of the Haitian Presidency which amounted the report by Piere to "fanciful accusations brought unjustly against the Head of State" and the broadcast to be a "media lynching of the President of the Republic as part of a larger campaign to poison public opinion to sully the image of President Martelly and undermine his integrity."

Piera, interviewed in the program Telenoticias, said "I think it's a fantasy ... precisely the press release of the Haitian government is a fantasy..."

"It is natural that the Haitian government says no, I could not expect the opposite," Nuria Piera added.

The journalist said that in the Watergate affair, the authorities have also spent much time in contradicting the results of the investigation by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, then by the U.S. senate.

Nuria Piera noted that there is so far only words on the part of concerned while what she did was "an investigative work, about what happened in the countries (Dominican Republic) and how it has had an impact in Haiti because the Haitian president is involved, so pathetic."

Piera finds it particularly difficult to understand why Martelly continued to receive money after his accession to the presidency of Haiti. Otherwise, she explains, this would simply be a case where a Dominican politician, Felix Bautista, is supporting a Haitian politician.

The journalist highlighted as something strange that Bautista has received several million dollars in contracts for the reconstruction of Haiti.

Of $500 million [US], Bautista through his companies received $385 million [US], the report reveals.
