Hi guys, you with Barry here and it's my pleasure to welcome three-time mayor of Cabrera, Jorge Cavoli. Our subscribers, I believe you know, come down and visit through the DRScapes that we're doing this YouTube with and one of their key issues is security. Can you perhaps go a little bit deeper into some of your ideas that you want to channel into this that can ensure that the town remains fairly safe and things of that nature about how to do it? Okay, in the two and something terms that I have been mayor of the city, we have never had a single foreigner killed. Never. When we went out of office for six years, we had several foreigners killed. I think that at some point the local authorities lost the grit on the town. They maybe believed Cabrera was such a safe town, such a family town that that was not a concern security and the crime surprised the authorities. In my opinion, you cannot lose the grit on that problem. You have to increase the levels of supervision on the police. You have to increase the level of supervision on the town and we have to develop and attitude toward security. The people, but first of all the authorities, you know. So you know, I'm very cautious with that. I have my eyes always on the police here, on the every thing that happened here. And when people see you over putting your eyes and your hands on everything, they know they know they're being watched. And I don't think that the crime rice that took place here was originally born in Cabrera. I would agree with that. I think we had some outside influence, you know. But everybody, the people from town and the people that are looking to the town, they have to know that we are watching, you know, that we're on, you know, we're supervising everything having to do with security here, you know. And I think that helps a lot, you know. We're in permanent contact with the police. You know, they know we're interested in improving that area here, you know. So everybody works extra, you know, and give their best. You know, and I think this is going to be very helpful. If we have something going out of our hands and I have to knock on the door of the federal government, I'm very willing to do it, you know. And they know that. And I've been talking at different levels, you know, with police authorities about the situation of Cabrera, you know. We cannot admit the security situation to go out of our hands, you know. Cabrera cannot be hurt anymore with such, you know, terrible news, you know, that we saw in the past. It has, on that, on the past term, increased a little bit. There was a little bit of a rage on it, but it seems to have subsided immensely about the violence in terms of the foreigners and what have you. But I think that's running rampant in the world, though. Not just, you know, anyone particular town. I mean, it seems that violence and crime is economic politics change. It seems to be a duality, a personality, if you're not with me or my enemy. Instead of, you know, okay, we lost the election. Now let's support the person who won. As a nation, people have gotten into an individual type mindset. Would you agree? Yeah, I agree. Do we do? It's, I personally do not see it as an unsafe place compared to many of the places I've lived compared to Canada, compared to the states. If you look at what's going on daily, these things are happening. So the object is to catch it before it starts and keep it at that level of sacrifice. You're right. You should run for a mayor. No, no, no, no, no, no. I couldn't, I couldn't, and I don't have the wisdom to do it. I have the feel, you know, that when that, when people know you have your eyes and your hands on everything, you know, that helps a lot with the crime because, you know, they know they're being wise, you know, they know that we take care of the town, they know, you know. So, so we don't have to, we have to keep on that track, you know. I've always said crime and stupidity are pretty close cousins. Yeah, it's up to people to learn how to take care of themselves as well. And we have to educate people as well. That's a big thing. People need to know in town, I'm going to make sure most of people know it. Know that, that, that the crime, you know, affects our family, affects our economy, you know, and affect the tourism, which is, you know, a very important area of our town, you know. What about, I'm listening to you mention tourism several times, but what about a key not only tourism, residential, right? That's, that's where I'm going because that's where the dollars stay. Yeah. It's a big country and big hotel chains are wonderful and we need them and big projects are wonderful. We need them, but much of that money leaves the DR, residential, investments of homes, building homes, creates employment, creates gardening, creates services, maintenance, and that money seems to stay more localized. And to me, that's very important for the economy. If the money leaves, there's no real benefit. Can you briefly talk about, I want to make a brand new town for foreigners, you know, but it already has been made a part of my vision. Absolutely. Yes. Well, an open mind is a wonderful thing. Yeah. And that, I want foreigners to feel at home here, you know, in Cabrera and to be close to the authorities, you know, so they can talk to us and we can listen to them, you know. I think that's very important, you know. You've always made yourself well right now, guys. It's like a train station here with everybody wants a little piece of Jorge and here he is taking his time. Mind you at his own house. So that says a lot about the family too. Until next time, this is Barry and the Art. Get jam the other side.
