When President Danilo Medina left for New York to attend the United Nations' Assembly, Vice President Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez was left in charge of the country. Now, the spouse of the former President, Leonel Fernandez Reyna is the acting President, but his title does not have a name as there has not been a first gentleman before.
Leonel Fernandez is the first man to be married to the President of the country. The last time the country had a woman Vice President was from 2000 to 2004. Then Milagros Ortiz Bosch acted as President when then President Hipolito Mejia was abroad. At the time the situation of the First Gentlemen did not arise because she was single.
El Dia reported that Acting President Margarita Cedeno did not attend her offices on Monday, a national holiday.
