In his pre-recorded speech to the nation last night Wednesday 17 June 2015, President Danilo Medina announced that if he receives the firm backing of the PLD and the support of the majority of Dominicans, he would run for a second term of office. He said he would make the announcement of his acceptance of the candidacy at the right moment.
The President said that he wanted to announce his “renewed willingness to continue fighting for more profound and positive changes for our country.” He said that what attracted him in the hypothetical case that he were reelected, was the possibility of bolstering the changes that “we are making in our country.”
“We may have four more years ahead of us, which would enable us to consolidate the educational transformation that is currently underway, to ensure that it will be irreversible,” said the President. In an upbeat tone, Medina declared that he would continue the work being carried out to improve the health and Social Security systems, in support of producers and farmers, in the tourism sector, as well as the trips into the countryside with his surprise visits, the credit to entrepreneurs through the Banca Solidaria, and continue the expansion of the 911 system. He added that he would continue the construction of infrastructure required for the development of production, and that he would maintain macroeconomic stability with low inflation.
“Definitely, we would have four more years to ensure that nothing and no one could turn back everything that we have conquered together,” he declared.
