Today's Dominican Word: eh pa' lante' que vamos - A political slang slogan used by the Dominican Political Party of PLD. It stands for: "we're moving forward", "we're on our way to progress". I personally don't agree with how politics are run over all in the D.R. especially the shady business done by this political party of PLD. It's why I will use the slang slogan in a sarcastic way for today's DR word of the day.

Dominican: Eh Pa' Lante' que vamos....y sin luz, una juventud sin educacion, sin agua, y una poblacion con ambre y Eh' Pa' Lante' que vamos?...Sigan ahi votando Morado.
