Vinicio Castillo warns about the political impact of Santiago Matías
Political leader Vinicio Castillo Semán has issued a strong warning directed at the traditional sectors of the Dominican Republic. According to the politician, there is a strategic error on the part of business elites and the conventional political class in attempting to disqualify the aspirations of Santiago Matías, widely known as Alofoke.
During a recent intervention, Castillo pointed out that these rejection tactics, far from weakening the influencer’s figure, cause a counterproductive effect. By trying to block his path, the power groups not only increase popular support for Matías, but also foster a scenario of tension and a dangerous social class clash.
Attacking Santiago Matías is a mistake; by doing that, you only make him stronger.

A phenomenon born from social discontent
For Castillo, the rise of Santiago Matías is not an isolated event, but a direct response to the discontent of various sectors that, historically, have felt marginalized and forgotten by the country’s governmental and social structures.
The leader stressed that if the established system does not analyze this landscape with due serenity and openness, it could face a disruptive electoral force. In his analysis, this current has the potential to generate significant surprises in the national political arena, given that it represents a voice that connects with a large part of the population that does not feel represented by traditional parties.
