This time it was the Bishop of San Pedro de Macoris Francisco Ozoria Acosta who is saying that presidential re-election should be removed from the Constitution because it has been unlucky for the Dominican Republic. According to Hoy, the Bishop said that by continuing in power, politicians take advantage of their positions to line their own pockets. The Bishop was clear when he said that he was against re-election as a matter of principle, whether it was in reference to Joaquin Balaguer, Hipolito Mejia or "whoever." Ozoria pointed out that many who are currently defending the re-election process used to be firmly opposed to such a policy. Ozorio said that depending who is in power appears to influence people's stance for or against re-election, and that the reaction against the statements made by the bishops of La Vega and Mao-Montecristi was the result of partisan self-interest.
