Santo Domingo.- Dominican republic president Leonel Fernandez was received by Spain prime minister Mariano Rajoy on Tuesday, accompanied by wife Margarita, before a meeting at Moncloa Palace in Madrid.
The meeting marks the first high level encounter scheduled during his 10 day tour of several European capitals, slated to conclude in Brussels.
Locally Fernandez has been criticized for taking along to Europe and entourage of at least 27 people, which led some media to demand disclosing whether the tour is paid with taxpayer money.

Joseano..
Why Hipolito went to meet to "el chapo" Guzman 3 month before the election time?
What he said he was in a "feria agropecuaria" en Sinaloa but NOBODY , even the G.M. of it, said they ever saw him?
Why your political candidate took all tax payers money ( millions $$$) to do political campaign, , but instead pocketed that money?
This is not speculation.. that's the fact

Having Leonel Fernandez go on a self promotion farewell tour to further his future ambitions, is a disgrace and a slap in the face, to DR taxpayers, specially to millions of Dominicans below the poverty line.
This pompous peacock, grandstanding with other monarchy bums and blood suckers, is hideous and repugnant, more so because our country can not afford these displays of free spending excesses.
We all hope that bad boy Leonel best times are in the past, and they are not coming back.......ever!
PS: Danilo will make sure of that.
From: Dominican Republic
Why in their 8 year has the PLD not put most of the PRD crooks your talking about in jail?? Vic?
I'll tell you why... It's a huge house of cards, where they all have the goods on each other, if one politico tries to bring down another one they would both end up going down.. Nice system keeping the inept in their jobs as long as they have the dirt on everyone else, they spend all their time digging and not working at their over payed jobs...
Why is Margarita there? shouldn't she be back here getting ready for her new post?? Or are all the bag-men positioned already to keep Danilo in line?
From: Dominican Republic
Well said G..

That is the 72 trips that that corrupt president has made. 72 vacations and more than $2000 million pesos spent to bring nothing to our poor country.
I am sure he is trying to bribe Rajoy to free Arturo del Tiempo, ( one of his narco friends).

General, it is always so good to have you speak your mind, though you do not do it enough. some things are an insult to a populace. this oaf is going to be out of office in a few weeks, yet he is on a globetrotting tour, meeting world leaders, at the public´s expense. i hope we have seen the last of this bum.

I am not sure of anything, but I sure hope that Danilo will try to get ALL Dominicans on his side, and be a radical change from the usual MO of the PLD fat cats.
He will have ONE chance to make the public understand that he is not the same as his predecessor, and that is the week after he is sworn in. He needs to make clear that the party is over, and the ones that stole monies and participated in acts of graft and corruption, no matter what party they belong to, will be prosecuted, including LF. He needs also to clean house and retire, all the previous PLD ministers as if they belonged to another party.
Otherwise he will be a stooge and a proxy for LF to continue his pursuit of another term in 2016.

General, he has a golden opportunity to make a radical statement, and establish his legacy. it is low hanging fruit. with such a horrible predecessor, it should be really easy to improve on things, and give the country some relief.

It is low hanging fruit depending on the testicular fortitude of Danilo to make a statement. If he makes the same mistake that Juán Bosch made in 1963, when he hesitated to get rid of the Trujillo military, that later deposed him, that blink cost Bosch his presidency, as the Trujillo gorillas realized that Bosch was weak, and could be pushed out without much trouble.
Danilo needs to make a statement and show that there is no more business as usual, and that the old ways are finito and a thing of the past. This is the only way that the expectations of the populace will support his mandate, and the many necessary and unpopular economic measures that he will need to put in place.

Doanilto, Danilito. this is what everyone is chanting, how many countries did Leonelito left for you to visit. Is Leonelito passing on his taylor to you and included in the national budget. People forget fast and just after winning the fraudulent election Danilito made a statement that said " during my campaign I made no promises, but I do have some compromises ". Don't expect Danilito to be any better than his teacher but do expect him to out-do him in hiding his intentions. Political compromises means that he must insured his supporters a government post and others an expanded business deals with his government. He will not be a president for the middle class and least of all for the poor. He made no promises to the poor nor to the middle or upper middle class. So, his compromises are with whom?

You are absolutely correct when you tell DT to stop this nonsence,it sounds akward (his Par) may

I was really just suggesting that DT should use the word equal, instead of par. The headline should read- Dominican leader meets Spanish equal......... or- Spanish counter part.
