President Leonel Fernandez has inaugurated the Presidential Gallery and the Government's Cabinet Office at the National Palace, with a total cost of RD$9,246 million. The gallery includes portraits of Dominicans who have led the country either on provisional, temporary or constitutional basis. Leaders, who held office in periods where the country lost its sovereignty, like the annexation to Spain and during the American invasion of 1916 for example, were removed from the display. The Presidential gallery ends at the Government's Cabinet Office, which includes pictures of Antonio Guzman, Salvador Jorge Blanco, Joaquin Balaguer, Hipolito Mejia and Leonel Fernandez. The hall also has two video conferencing screens, microphones, laptop connections, and other software.
