A member or supporter of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD). Historically, they marketed themselves as the moral and intellectual elite of Dominican politics, but are often viewed as arrogant and intolerant. They are known for maintaining a polished image through massive media spending while being accused of perfecting the art of hiding corruption. (The PLD is one of the three main political parties in the Dominican Republic and held power for sixteen consecutive years until 2020).
Before they criticized the NGOs run by congressmen that handled over 100 million pesos, and now they create a monthly slush fund (barrilito) of 250 million. They assign themselves salary raises of up to 4,000 percent to prevent corruption. They discredit anyone who opposes their plans.

(Leonel Fernández is a major political figure who served three terms as president and is often associated with the modernization of Dominican infrastructure).
