Yesterday, Monday 21 January 2015, the Municipal Council of Santo Domingo East swore in the new mayor, Jeannette Medina, in replacement of former mayor Juan de los Santos, who was murdered last week.
Medina said it would be impossible to replace De los Santos and she would continue to work as he did. She went on to describe him as a committed worker, an extraordinary human being and a loving husband, father, brother, colleague and friend. She said that these and other virtues he had could not be replicated.
Medina went on to say that he was their mayor, it was his term of office, the people elected him and he had chosen her as deputy mayor.
She said that De los Santos had prepared the 2016 municipal budget and the development plan that just needed to be approved by the councilors. She promised to continue working on both of these projects.
