President Leonel Fernandez has yet to officially announce his plans for re-election, but this isn't stopping a delegation of high-ranking government officials from making a trip to Europe to promote this possibility. Industry and Commerce Minister Francisco Javier Garcia, Labor Minister Ramon "Monchy" Fadul, National Lottery administrator Ramon Rivas, director of the Office of Supervising Engineers for State Works Felix Bautista and Presidential Palace press secretary Rafael Nunez flew to Europe yesterday to meet with political activists in Dominican communities in Europe to discuss Fernandez's re-election. The delegation will meet with Dominican emigre community representatives in Spain, Switzerland, and Italy. The meetings will begin on Saturday in the Spanish capital, Madrid. On Sunday the group will travel to Zurich, Switzerland before making their way to Genoa, Italy later in the day. This is the second trip by government officials supporting Fernandez's 2008 re-election. Francisco Javier Garcia recently traveled to New York on a similar mission.
