President Leonel Fernández, on the campaign trail for his political party’s candidate, urged Dominican voters to avoid converting the 21st century into a "scenario of comics" by voting for PLD candidate, Danilo Medina. He was referring to the spontaneous and many times comic expressions that are part of the way of speaking of PRD presidential candidate, Hipólito Mejía. The PRD candidate ranks the highest in the polls. President Fernández spoke on the present and future of the DR during a conference held at the Santiago Cibao Theater on occasion of the 156th anniversary of the Battle of 30 March. He said that Danilo Medina is the only candidate that guarantees that the agenda of reform, transformation and modernization will continue. He says that he feels in the moral obligation to pass the torch to another man of his generation, to Danilo Medina, so that he can take Dominican society one more step ahead. He said the country has to decide whether to continue to advance or to move back.
