President Danilo Medina enacted Law 193-19 that orders that the images of the founding fathers Juan Pablo Duarte, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez and Matías Ramón Mella be placed in all public institutions in the country.
The Presidency says that the law responds to the duty of the Dominican state to enhance, pay tribute to and highlight the merits and contributions made by the patriots who contributed decisively to the strengthening of the most authentic values of the nation. “The exaltation of the figures of our founding fathers contributes to keeping alive the values of national identity and the belief in a free, sovereign and independent nation,” stated the Presidency when announcing the signing of the law.
At present, public offices exhibit a photograph of the current President.
