Vice President Rafael Alburquerque spoke up for the Fernandez administration to answer to criticism by the Catholic Church. He called the high wages in government and corruption in state the great challenges of the authorities, as reported in Hoy. He justified the silence kept by President Leonel Fernandez, arguing he will speak to the nation on 27 February during the state of the nation address. Alburquerque aspires to be the presidential candidate for the PLD in the 2012 presidential election.
The Catholic Church hierarchy in the Dominican Republic has warned that the country is living through a time of uncertainty, poverty, crime, impunity and other evils that impede a dignified human existence. In a message with the title "500 Years in the Defense of Human Dignity" issued on the occasion of the commemoration of the 167th anniversary of Dominican Independence (27 February), the Conference of Bishops said that in the face of a situation rife with theft, contract killings, drug trafficking, public officials involved in criminal acts, administrative corruption, political patronage and insecurity "we cannot build a country that is free, sovereign and independent as was conceived by the father of the nation, Juan Pablo Duarte."
The Conference of Bishops mentions that on 8 August the country will celebrate the creation of the first three dioceses in the New World and on 4 December the Advent Sermon by fray Anton Montesinos in 1511.
