BARAHONA.- The president of the People’s Force Party, Leonel Fernández, opined that there is a growing disagreement of the Dominican population with the current Government, to the point that the latest surveys indicate that 51 percent of them are willing to leave the country .
Fernández spoke here during a crowded event in the halls of the Resurrection and Life Christian Center, which was part of a two-day agenda that he develops in Barahona, Azua and Peravia.
“We have seen in the surveys what we have never observed before: 51% of the population surveyed say they are willing to leave the country, because they see no future in the Dominican Republic,” he stressed.
He opined that “when the majority of the population of a country says that they are willing to leave, it is because they do not see that there is a future in the territory where they were born, that is the worst that can happen.”
FORCE OF THE PEOPLE IN FIRST PLACE
He alleged that due to this disagreement of the population with the current Government, already in the southern provinces and in Greater Santo Domingo, the surveys indicate that the People’s Force is in the first place of preference of the electorate.
Fernández was received by numerous supporters shortly following 12:00 noon at the Vicente Noble intersection, passed through Canoa and Jaquimeyes until he reached the center of Barahona.
At the Resurrection and Life Christian Center he was received by dozens of people who, according to a note from the FP, are former reformist and PRD leaders who decided to join this entity and were sworn in by the opposition leader.
The amphitheater where they met was filled to capacity, so a huge number of people had to stay outside, in the front, the note adds.
Among the former leaders who joined the FP are the former trustee of Villa Central, Francisco Batista Batista; the former interim president of the PRSC, José del Carmen Acosta; former councilor Epifanio Pérez, former PRD leader Romilda Sufrón, Juan José Méndez, José Acosta, Omaira Mañón, Alcibíades Pérez, Manuel Santana, Manuel Cuevas, Vianna Cocco Peña and David Lama.
In addition, Elsis Casilda Díaz de Santana, wife of journalist José Altagracia Santana (Chino Video).
Speaking on behalf of the sworn in, former reformist leader Eugenio Pérez said that he decided to join the Fuerza del Pueblo because he sees in this organization “a light on the road” at a time when “the people are dying of hunger and the Dominicans are not eating”.
Fernández was President of the Republic in three periods (1996-1990, 2004-2008 and 2008-2012) postulated by the Dominican Liberation Party. He resigned from the latter entity in 2019 and on October 17 of that year he formed the FP, a party of which he is president and presidential candidate.
