Former President Leonel Fernandez criticized the government of Hipolito Mejia for lacking a vision of where the nation is headed. He said this creates frustrations for the population. "People had hopes, they had many expectations of this PRD government, after 14 years out of government. It was understand that all those years would have served to reflect, to have innovative ideas, fresh projects. It is apparent this is not true," said Fernandez. He was interviewed on the "Al Atardecer con Mayra" TV program of Supercanal, Channel 33.
