PLD presidential candidacy hopeful Danilo Medina highlighted on Saturday that the re-election event would serve to demonstrate the strength of the party. He said he would not refer to the re-election of President Fernandez because it is "a hypothetical issue" and that he would comment on it when it is not longer a hypothetical issue, when it becomes a real issue. The 2010 Constitution bans President Leonel Fernandez for running for consecutive re-election.

Medina made it clear that he wished to avoid confrontation with fellow party members who are also seeking the PLD presidential nomination. He said that he wants to be the candidate of all the PLD members.

Participants with a high profile in the Medina campaign event in San Cristobal included legislators Gustavo Sanchez, Nelson Guillen, Radhames Camacho, Jose Cabrera and Elpidio Baez.

Medina said he expects to win the PLD presidential candidacy and called on the PLD to support him to become the next President. He promised to redistribute the wealth that has been created during the Fernandez administrations.

Medina was speaking on Saturday, a day before President Fernandez received signatures from over two million supporters who want him to be the PLD candidate in 2012.

Danilo Medina said that in the present circumstances and global situation with rising fuel and food prices, the DR needs a President with his feet on the ground, who is clear about the criteria of what has to be done in the country. He backs a transformation of the farming sector and said that the country is in a position to be the breadbasket of the Caribbean, as reported in Hoy.
