President Hipolito Mejia responded in a cutting way when asked about the recent comments of the legal advisor Guido Gomez Mazara regarding police repression of a march of physicians. Gomez Mazara described the police repression to a group of medics that would have marched from the Dominican Medical Association to the Congress to protest a social security bill as "excesses." President Mejia said, "That is not his problem, he is legal advisor, those are my attributions."
