| The so-called "chat show" was an illustrious announcement of what is out there. |
Billed as "Conversation" event held in the auditorium of the Hotel Aligio last Saturday morning was anything but. Sponsored by the Alliance of Tour de Samaná the event was attended by Mr. José Ricardo Taveras, general director of migration, accompanied on board by Mr. Fausto Forchue, Civil Governor of weeks, the Mr. Juan José Morales Cisneros, MP PRD Samaná province, by Mr. José Alexis Martinez, mayor, by Dr. Maria Vanderhorst, vice-mayor, by José Oscar Orsini Bosch, president of the Light and Power Co. and the charge provincial migration whose name was not offered to the audience.

The meeting was attended by representatives of labor groups and choferiles, members of the local press, some employers and a broad representation of stakeholders in the subject, thanks to an invitation in writing, radio and television by the Tourism Business Alliance Samana, Inc.
The discussion group as a method of knowledge sharing is a participatory design in which guests express ideas, answer questions and extend the knowledge base on a given topic in an open, friendly and even somewhat informal.
Unfortunately, Saturday's meeting was not anything like that but that was mainly to invite the audience to express their feelings about Haitian illegal immigration which were easily predictable and concluded with a disturbing statement by the director general of immigration, a member of the National Progressive Force Vincho Dr. Castillo and who would expect all he said.

As there was not really a conversation between the audience and an exchange of ideas with Migration director after his talk, could not delve deeper into the issue, or express ideas alternate, or talk about the disturbing ideas about culture and identity of the director general of immigration, which leave much to be desired from the most important aspects of the topic.

For me it was an excellent idea to have a conversation about one of the most hotly debated national issues and make here in Las Terrenas, but it was a bad decision to abandon the announced format and convert it into a presentation that one can only conclude that Haitians illegals are the causes of all our local problems.
is easier to do that than taking the time to really talk about the problems and open the minds and ideas above the individual expressions of the audience. Nevertheless, it was very valuable to discover what is in the minds of attendees and in the mind of the CEO and speculate what might be in the mind of Mr. Orsini Bosch primary sponsor of the event.

But it was a pity that instead of turning the event into a truly participatory process of mutual learning, sharing experiences, concerns, alternatives and options, which seemed to be the aim was simply look for reasons to bring the bus and start migrating Haitians be here for all of Las Terrenas problems are resolved once and for all, something that can do (and looks set to do) the Mr. Ricardo Taveras, as stated and implied in his talk.

| A "chat show" involves the exchange of ideas. |
If that was the original intention conversatorio then do not call, but identify it as a way manipulated so that the director of migration can justify what is clearly going to happen in the days following.
Tourism Business Alliance With Samana and thank Mr. Jose Oscar Orsini Bosch again for showing us the best way to dispose of our social problems.
Oh my country!
