Who is Eduardo Estrella?

Rafael Eduardo Estrella Virella is a civil engineer, entrepreneur and dominican politician. He served as Secretary of State for Public Works and Communications of the Dominican Republic during the second term 1991-1994, of President Joaquin Balaguer and also he served as Senator for the province of Santiago de los Caballeros during the period 1994-1998.

Estrella is one of the few dominicans politicians recognized and highly valued for his honesty and cleanliness during the years he was in the public exercise, and out of these. He was the first presidential candidate of the Social Christian Reformist Party after the death of its leader, Dr. Joaquin Balaguer, after being elected in March 2003 as a presidential candidate of that organization. In 2007 he resigned from that organization to build a new party, since Social Christian Reformist Party was attached to the current government of Dominican Liberation Party and what he firmly opposed during the years, thus forming the Dominicans for Change Party, which currently is the president.
