Although the Summit organized by the President has received a great deal of media attention in recent weeks, it has emerged that many members of the public have limited knowledge of the summit, its intended goals and many of the summit's more important details. El Caribe held an unofficial public survey, questioning students, housewives, taxi drivers and vendors in order to assess basic awareness of the summit. The results were surprising. According to housewife Inocencia Salazar "La Cumbre" (Spanish for summit) is a place between Villa Altagracia and Bonao. Aside from an impromptu geography lesson Salazar said that, "this country is full of problems." Student Juan Reyes described the summit as a "meeting of many presidents," implying that everyone was a "leader" and nothing would get done. El Caribe reports that many of the people interviewed asked the journalists to inform them about the conference. Universidad Dominicana student Altagracia Marte said she knew there was some discord with the PRD, but admitted not knowing exactly what the summit was all about.
