Luisín Mejía supports Santiago Matías’ move towards the creation of the Dominicanos Primero party
Renowned businessman and sports leader Luisín Mejía described the launch of the new political organization “Dominicanos Primero,” led by Santiago Matías, as a strategic and wise decision. According to Mejía, the businessman and communicator’s ability to mobilize people is a determining factor that gives him a competitive advantage in the complex process of recognition before the Central Electoral Board (JCE).
For Mejía, the biggest obstacle facing emerging movements is capturing a solid base of followers, a requirement that Matías has practically overcome thanks to the community he has consolidated through his digital platforms and entertainment projects.
Santiago Matías made the right decision to form his party. He would not have the inconveniences that others have, which is looking for followers, because he will have them, and authentic followers.

A path with real possibilities of success
The sports executive admitted that Matías’ foray into partisan politics came as a surprise, especially after his previous experiences in other spaces. However, he positively values that the businessman has decided to chart his own path with an independent structure.
- Santiago Matías has already formally filed the registration application for “Dominicanos Primero” with the JCE.
- The official recognition process has already begun and is projected to be completed in the coming months.
- Mejía maintains that, in the face of any administrative challenge, Matías’ platform has the capacity to present the necessary structures and candidacies to comply with the law.
Despite acknowledging that the traditional political system exerts considerable influence on these validation processes, Luisín Mejía remained optimistic about the future of the project. “I believe he will achieve it, regardless of the fact that political power is what makes the decisions,” the leader stated, highlighting that Matías’s leadership is a consolidated benchmark in the sector where he operates.
With this move, Santiago Matías formalizes his intention to directly influence national public life, transforming his media influence into a structured political proposal under the name Dominicanos Primero.
