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:
“But to wish is first to think,
And to think is to be dumb,
And barren of a word to drop
That to a milder shore might come
And, years ahead, erect a crop.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
