Santo Domingo.- Just 12 days ago president Leonel Fernandez caught the country’s attention when his supporters, counted strictly as such, staged a rally in the Olympic Center to deliver a reported 2.2 million signatures calling for his reelection.

However the chief executive didn’t specify whether he’ll seek a new bid, which cast doubts on his political future even more, and affirmed: "I am the guarantor that those signatures become sure votes for the Dominican Liberation Party. I accept this support that you offer me and to endorse it to the PLD, so that the party decides what’s the future that corresponds to the Dominican Republic."

As the date in which the PLD Political Committee must choose its hopefuls for the presidential candidacy nears, Fernandez centers the country’s attention on his final position regarding the primary, and will need to state it in a clearer manner when he addresses the nation tonight.

The Head of State reaches the crossroad under a very special panorama; the citizens continue approving his job performance.

The activity with the signatures was a sort of proclamation and an expression of force prior to his party’s primary, and one which can define the PLD’s future, in office or out.
