Recent Years
After his expulsion and subsequent election loss, as a political analyst, Parga has not held his punches when commenting on Puerto Rico's government, being particularly critical of Thomas Rivera Schatz, President of the Senate. Parga has gone as far as calling Rivera Schatz a "poisonous pill" and "a coward". In 2010, Parga said in an interview that "being a legislator in this island is worth nothing. When I was young, I would stand in the Senate gallery and dream about being a Senator. It used to be something prestigious."
Parga is currently a political commentator on Radio Isla, a local radio network, and serves as a consultant to current Secretary of State McClintock and the Office of Legislative Services of Puerto Rico.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“These young women have had four years of very special space.... This has been special space. This has been safe space. But when they graduate, they will begin to deal on a daily basis, all day long, month after month, year after year, with the realities that still haunt our nation.”
—Johnnetta Betsch Cole (b. 1936)
“Where has it all gone? I remember that twenty years ago there were geese and cranes and ducks and grouse here, clouds of them!... And there are far fewer animals. Wolf and fox are rare, brother, not to mention bears or mink. There used even to be moose!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
