Santo Domingo.- The Justice and Transparency Foundation (FJT) expects president elect Danilo Medina to keep his campaign promises in his program for government, but called on the opposition to be firm and critical, to in their view bolster Dominican democracy.

FJT president Trajano Potentini said once in office the new President must allocate the necessary funds for 4% of the GDP for education and fight government corruption.

It demands that Medina prevent the Dominican State from continuing to be the booty of war at the mercy of the winners after an electoral process.

The FJT also calls on the opposition parties to accept the ballots’ results favoring the PLD’s party candidate.

Potentini said the a consensus to approve a Political Parties Law are urgent to guarantee a greater democracy, institutionalism and respect  the popular will, adding that the Dominican electoral-political model is widely exhausted.

He is president elect... for the time being let him enjoy the win and get rested up (he is human)

Wait a bit before making demands if he doesn't fulfill his promises then criticize.

Words and promises mean nothing until acted upon.....


Now is the time for Danilo to step forward and out of the shadow of LF and make his mark on history..
I wish him luck as he has a long hard road to for full his promises made to the people that put him there....
The numbers are against him but with the public behind him he may just man up and put words into action.....
Bring back the true founders ideologies of his party and clean up shop, removing the corrupt inept incumbent politicos siphoning the public funds to their own benefit...

Stillhere, I don't know if you can remember that in Leonel first two terms the country was running smoothly and all of that happen because they used to say that Danilo was the brain behing it whom kept everything in order and make all the other governemet employees do as they were told and whoever did not comply it with that was sent out in a vanwagon. Danilo is an Economics and he will do good because he doesn't needs someone to read to him the contract and then make him sign it because he would be the one reading and making corrections where is needed.

"whoever did not comply it with that was sent out in a vanwagon."
mmmm ??

I do think Danilo will be much better and truly hope he can make a difference in his years in the top job... The animosity between him and LF from the past is well known and may just be what is needed to help remove LF's thugs and bag-men, bringing about true democracy and change for the betterment of ALL...

History is littered with deputies assuming executive role and growing in their boots - let's pray Danillo can become his own man and represent the aspirations of ALL his people.

At least he has that potential to represent all whereas his opponent certainly did not and as such was the better choice.

Suspect it will be a long process.......as is the case in all developing democracies

If this THEFT is allowed to Stand the Embryo of Dominacn Democacy will have been ABORTED!

This will be 1931 Redux!



All those that are lending their support and endorsement to this MISCARRIAGE of DEMOCRACY will have to answer to history as did all those who knowingly or unknowingly applauded the coming to power of Trujillo and Hitler.
