President Fernández denies he will take time off

President Leonel Fernández said it is not true that he will take a three-month license from his duties as reported by Hoy newspaper yesterday. The President of the Republic supposedly was to take the time off to campaign for Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) presidential candidate, Danilo Medina. Medina was his campaign manager when he successfully ran for President in 1996. Fernández said he will neither take vacations nor days off from his duties.
