HAVANA.-  Former Dominican Republic president Leonel Fernandez met with Cuba president Raul Castro Thursday, and discussed the role Cuba can play as interim president of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), among other topics.

Fernandez, who’s also president of Dominican Republic’s ruling party (PLD) also met with Venezuela Foreign minister Elias Jaua, who’s visiting his country’s convalescing president Hugo Chavez in Havana.

On Friday Fernandez plans to meet at the offices of his Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, FUNGLODE, with former Brazil president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, who is currently visiting Dominican Republic.

A source quoted by elnuevodiario.com said Lula will meet with Fernandez at 5pm, but with no access for the media.

Fernandez took part in the 3rd conference on the "Balance of the World" which concluded on in Havana Wednesday and attended by representatives from more than 50 American, European and Asian countries.

Another thing Lie-onel has in common with Trujillo!

Just like Lie-onel Myths are being exposed so are Trujillos!


Another lie from the Trujillistas falls apart: Chapita did not pay the debt

The dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina, better known as Chapita Abigeo, besides being a great thief and a murderer, also was a great liar, like all tyrants


From 1950 to 1960 he spent $1,417 million and raised $1.364 million, for a cumulative deficit of $53 million. As a consequence, left a public debt (external and internal) exceeding that amount, increasing the balance to $161 million in 1966.

Leonel Fernández is the most recent traumatic experience, in eight years (2005-2012) accumulated a deficit of RD$ 435 billion, an annual average of more than RD$ 50 billion dollars and more that doubled the debt of US$ 11,484 to $26 billion.

As the total debt of 11% annual growth exceeded average interest which paid for the debt, we went to pay the interest. It was what worried the IMF, warning that continuing deficits public finances would be unsustainable in the medium term.

Otra mentira de los trujillistas que se cae: Chapita no pagó la deuda externa

El dictador Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina, mejor conocido como Chapita el Abigeo, además de ser un gran ladrón y un asesino, también era un gran mentiroso, como todos los tiranos

Que hace ese come mierda de Leonel en Cuba, con el borracho come mierda de Raul??

Why is this a$$ H!$@# Leonel in Cuba, and why is he in the news?

He is probably paying the media to be in the news all the time, like he is still somebody.

Stop putting wussy Leonel Fernandez in the media, he is not important anymore for anybody.

I wish to see that jack ass disappear from public life forever.

At what point does an ex president of the Dominican Republic comes to grip with reality that he is no longer in charge. Leonel continues to steal the thunder form the sitting President. Shame on you Leonel, to think you didn't learn from the ethic behavior thought to you by Fordham University.
