The Senate voted to reject the creation of the proposed Matias Ramon Mella province, following observations made by President Leonel Fernandez. The idea for the new province, the latest in a series of new creations, came from former senator Tonty Rutinel Dominguez (PRD). Senators also refused to grant municipal status to the communities of La Victoria, Guaricano, Sabana Perdida and San Jose de Mendoza, and municipal district status to hacienda Estrella, Guanuma, and Los Castillo and Los Adon. The rejection carried the warning that the country could not continue with the process of "atomization" of the nation's territory. Diario Libre said that the negative vote was unanimous.
