President Danilo Medina and First Lady Candida Montilla spent Sunday, 26 January participating events honoring founding father Juan Pablo Duarte. They included a Te Deum at the Santo Domingo Cathedral. At the event, Cardinal Nicolas Lopez Rodriguez lauded Duarte as “the greatest Dominican in history,” who despite being betrayed on many occasions never gave up until he led the country to its independence. President Mejia also visited the Altar de la Patria, where he laid a white floral tribute in Duarte’s memory.
