José Martínez Brito analyzes Santiago Matías’ political transition after incident in the Colonial City
Lawyer and communicator José Martínez Brito, secretary general of the political movement Dominicanos Primero, offered an analysis of the recent altercation involving businessman Santiago Matías in the Colonial City. During an opinion segment, Martínez Brito described the incident, which involved an argument and the throwing of an object following a snub by a foreign citizen, as a significant mistake that should serve as a lesson in this new public phase of the businessman’s career.
Santiago, in some way, is going to have to change. He cannot be the streamer. And he has to move on to being the candidate.

Political maturity and new challenges
Martínez Brito underscored the urgency for Matías to separate his role as a content creator from his national leadership aspirations. According to the jurist, this transition requires a strategic restructuring of his inner circle, warning that the team accompanying a social media figure must evolve to align with the demands of a formal political project.
The analyst emphasized that rejection is a constant in democratic life and that candidates for elected office must develop the necessary temperance to handle adverse situations. Martínez Brito compared this experience to the daily life of traditional politicians, who face slights with politeness, noting that, unlike errors that compromise public funds, this event was personal in nature and did not affect State resources.
Dominicanos Primero moves forward strongly in the collection of signatures
Despite the controversy, the Dominicanos Primero project maintains an accelerated growth rate in its registration process. According to the report presented by Martínez Brito, the movement has reached 43 percent of its total goal nationwide, even exceeding expectations in various provinces.
- Monseñor Nouel: 138 percent of the goal achieved.
- El Seibo: 122 percent.
- Samaná: 116 percent.
- San Pedro de Macorís: 112 percent.
- Pedernales: 107 percent.
- La Altagracia: 105 percent.
The secretary general highlighted that, just during the last Sunday, nearly four thousand signatures were collected, which reaffirms the popular support that the organization maintains throughout the Dominican territory.
