Catholic priest Santiago Bautista has criticized President Leonel Fernandez for making no comments on the WikiLeaks revelations of corruption among senior military and police and suspected complicity with drug trafficking that led to the revocation of visas of several Fernandez administration government officials, as reported in acento.com.do
An earlier WikiLeaks document also revealed cases of visa revocation affecting senior officials in the previous Hipolito Mejia administration.
The priest said that the government is obliged to clarify to the Dominican people with "deeds, not words" everything related to the information released in those documents.
In addition, the priest said that after seven years in power, President Fernandez could no longer blame the country's problems on the previous administration. He concluded that Fernandez is being poorly advised on how to deal on these issues. The priest at the Colonial City's Las Mercedes Church also criticized the wasteful-spending and luxury vehicle exemptions granted to legislators.
He made these statements while answering questions from journalists who attended a press conference where the Archdiocese of Santo Domingo announced the celebration of its 500th anniversary in 14 parishes of the Colonial City today.
