Political analyst Rosario Espinal says that President Leonel Fernandez has not enforced any decisive measures against corruption. "A constant of President Fernandez's government has been to not to want to tackle or confront special interests either of the board of the PLD or of the country's powerful economic or social sectors," she said, during an interview on TV talk show El Despertador, as reported in El Caribe.
She criticized the way that Fernandez has given himself little leeway in dealing with members of his administration. She said that situation comes at a time when Fernandez's political opposition is "anemic and with as many weaknesses in the area of corruption."
Espinal's comments come only days after the President, in a meeting with members of the press, played down the existence of corruption in his administration, saying that it was weakness and irregularities, not corruption, that were the problems.
She forecast that the 2010 municipal and congressional election would be irritating to the population if the economy does not improve. She predicted that these would be times of excessive government spending.
