Medina continues to impress
Half way through his four year term, the Dominican Republic (DR)’s President Danilo Medina continues to enjoy record approval ratings. The public’s perception of Medina is so positive that there already is talk among his supporters of promoting a constitutional reform to allow him to stand for re-election in 2016 in order to ensure an unprecedented fifth consecutive term for the ruling Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD). The re-election rumours may be nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of his supporters, but the first time president has certainly found a government style that is proving to be an example worth emulating by his prospective successors.
