Hoy newspaper reporters asked President Mejia his opinion on the negative perception of most Dominicans regarding his government (see http://www.dr1.com/daily/news050201.shtml). "Those are momentary attitudes which have to be respected," said the statesman. When asked what could be done to vary the negative perception, President Mejia responded, "Well, I hope you will change the government at the end of this period." By Constitution, President Mejia cannot run for re-election. His term continues for another 3+ years.
