PRSC presidential candidate Amable Aristy Castro has challenged President Leonel Fernandez and PRD presidential candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado to a debate where all three would discuss the 10 main issues affecting the country. Aristy explained that among the topics on his agenda are poverty, cost of living, unemployment, safety, crime, the energy crisis, education and health. Aristy, quoted in Hoy, said that the debate would allow the public to hear each candidate's proposals and solutions. Aristy added that civil society and media outlets could organize the debate, and said that he was pleased that the two major presidential candidates have excluded him from their "corruption and who insults better" contest. Aristy is quoted as saying, "Dominicans don't want to know who is more or less corrupt, or who is more or less rich, or how they got their fortunes. They want to hear how candidates will solve their problems".
Vargas Maldonado is also promoting the debate. Notwithstanding, spokespersons for President Leonel Fernandez have not expressed any interest in their candidate taking part.
Fernandez is known to be by far the best speaker of the three leading candidates.
