Cardinal Nicolás Jesús López Rodríguez urged Hipólito Mejía of the PRD and Danilo Medina of the PLD to improve their political discourse, which he described as laden with diatribes and insults. "No one is interested in that kind of talk and in myself it produces a major discomfort," said the head of the Catholic Church in the DR. He would like the politicians to instead explain to the people their government programs, their solutions to the national problems. "I would like to see the candidates talking of substantial things, with serious arguments, that they be presenting solutions to the nation’s problems, not to say that this was done or not. The Cardinal spoke on his Sunday talk on the Roman Catholic Church Television Station, Televida, Channel 41.
