Minister of Sports Jaime David Fernandez has announced an ambitious program to fight crime with sports. He announced that his priorities are to implement mass sports programs, maintain sports installations nationwide, back sports and cultural clubs nationwide, and use sports to prevent disease and mitigate crime.
He announced he would work closely with the business sector, the Olympic Committee and communities, and would support the country's leading athletes, emerging athletes and past sport heroes.
He said that the focus of his efforts would be to use sports to unify barrios, towns and the provinces and that sports would be a tool for social peace.
In a recent press interview, Luguelin Santos, winner of the silver medal in the 400m dash at the London Olympics, called for attention to Dominican sports facilities. He said that Puma, one of his sponsors, had proposed holding a Grand Prix in Santo Domingo, but this was not possible because of the poor conditions of the track. Luguelin Santos now trains in Puerto Rico.
Fernandez was vice president during the first Fernandez government (1996-2000) and Minister of Environment from 2004-2008.
