President Leonel Fernandez formally closed the process of public hearings on the constitutional reform proposals during a ceremony at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) late on Friday. The coordinator of the Constitutional Reform Commission, Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, said "the reformed Constitution and the suggestions that are accepted will constitute an important contribution to the resolution of problems by institutional means."
