Listin Diario political analyst Orlando Gil observes in his column today that in his speech at the Dominican Fiesta on Sunday what appears to have happened is that President Leonel Fernandez has put the presidential campaign of his party rival Danilo Medina at the service of the defense of the government.

Gil says that the slogan Fernandez offered to Medina, "Memory Against Forgetting" (Memoria contra olvido), makes apparent that the central axis of the campaign will be the promotion and defense of the Fernandez government.

Gil comments that judging by Medina's facial expressions and body language during the event, he was not too happy about how things went. "The event was supposed to be for him, even though it was headed by President Fernandez, and the objective should have been to put the government at the service of the campaign, and not the other way around, as has happened, in that the campaign was put at the service of the government." The PLD presidential candidate is now on a tour of Brazil to study the achievements of the Brazilian government. Brazil has been a major financier of the Fernandez administration, with major public works under way with Brazilian export funding. Medina will study the Brazilian development model.
