Former President Hipolito Mejia says that the DR-CAFTA free trade agreement came into effect too late and that this delay has caused irreparable damage to the country's free trade zones. Mejia went on to say that President Leonel Fernandez was to blame for the delay because he believes that Fernandez wasn't convinced that the agreement was a "viable option" for the country.
Presidential candidate Danilo Medina is urging the government to implement a competitiveness plan in order to bolster national industries for the strong competition they now face from foreign markets. Medina warned that failure to implement such a plan will lead to the disappearance of many businesses and the loss of jobs for many Dominicans.
