Former Mayor of Santo Domingo Rafael (Fello) Subervi has announced his aspirations to return to head the National District municipality position in the May 2016 municipal election. During his acceptance speech he asked what the PLD administration under Mayor Roberto Salcedo has done with so many funds. He said the law obliges the city governments to invest 75% of its revenue in public works and only 25% in staff, as reported in Diario Libre.
Subervi was mayor of the National District for the PRD in 1986-1990 and then again in 1994-1998. At the time, the city government was responsible for Greater Santo Domingo.
