President Leonel Fernandez held a birthday party for his Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (Funglode) last night. According to Hoy, the President looked back on the achievements of the think-tank with its new university branch. Funglode has sponsored countless conferences and activities aimed at fostering the Dominican Republic's development. Fernandez hinted that Funglode might evolve into a full-blown educational institution in the future. He said: "I have always thought that ideas are the starting point. If there are no clear ideas, there will be confusion during the execution of the project".
The President said that countries needed strategic thinking centers like Funglode, where issues like democracy and development could be discussed along with the problems that affect society on a daily basis. He reminded the audience that, "governments are always immersed in crisis and they do not have time to think".
