Former President Leonel Fernandez criticized the PRD without mentioning it by name. He indirectly accused the opposition party of showing a lack of respect for the events commemorating the bicentennial the birth of Duarte, the nation’s founder.
“What a contrast is seen today in the Dominican society, while the PLD family gathers here, raising the tricolor flag and honoring the memory of the immortal Father of the Nation, there are others conspiring against the health of the nation,” said the former President while heading a ceremony at the Altar to the Homeland in his post as PLD president yesterday, Sunday 27 January.
Fernandez said he regretted that the PRD was not capable of coming together in a civilized manner and “therefore they are eliminated from leading the destinies of the homeland forged by the ideals of Duarte, Juan Bosch, Ramon Matias Mella and Francisco del Rosario Sanchez.”
