Two-year term proposed

[NewsWhore]

The coordinator of the Constitutional Reform Commission, Msgr. Agripino Nunez Collado, has proposed that through a political agreement, the candidates for Congressional and municipal positions in 2010 could be elected for just two years and that the 2012 elections could be moved closer to the Presidential election. He opposes the proposed extension of the Presidential term, as reported by El Caribe. Msgr. Nunez Collado also stated that he wants to believe that the demonstrations in support of President Leonel Fernandez's re-election have not been approved by the President. He specified that if the head of state is in favor of re-election he has not mentioned it in any of the meetings about the constitutional reform.
