Politico

Derived from the fake Latin Ladronasous (big thief), this is a peculiar character in Santo Domingo who talks nonsense, collects a salary for a ghost job (botellas), buys luxury SUVs (jeepetas), pays off their bootlickers (tumba polvo), and maintains a couple of mistresses. They can be found in positions like deputy, mayor, senator, police colonel, Catholic Cardinal, or President. (Botella refers to a person on a government payroll who does no work; jeepeta is a high-end SUV; tumba polvo is a sycophant).

To see the biggest cluster of politicos, check out a presidential motorcade heading to the provinces and you will see up to 200 jeepetas and luxury cars following their leader.

Política

Política is the process, ideologically driven by greed, through which a person can go from being a nobody to being rich in the Dominican Republic overnight. (This definition reflects a common cynical view of local politics as a tool for rapid, corrupt enrichment.)

Which is what has caused the country to be buried in the debt it is in.
