The former President of the Republic and leader of the Fuerza del Pueblo, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez, has distanced himself from the speculations linking his son, Omar Fern\u00e1ndez, to a possible presidential candidacy, accompanied by the prominent communicator and businessman Santiago Mat\u00edas, popularly known as Alofoke, for the vice presidency.<\/p>\n\n
Faced with questions from the press regarding this hypothetical electoral formula for the 2028 elections, the former president was emphatic in pointing out that the current moment is not conducive to addressing candidacy issues. According to Fern\u00e1ndez, respect for the current legal framework is fundamental, as the electoral calendar does not yet allow for the formal start of campaign activities.<\/p>\n\n
We are talking about a long time. That is to say, the electoral and party law does not allow us to talk about those things.<\/p>Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez, president of the Fuerza del Pueblo.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Focus on institutional growth<\/h3>\n\n
Beyond the names circulating in public opinion, the political leader preferred to focus on strengthening his organization. Fern\u00e1ndez highlighted that the People’s Force is experiencing constant growth and increasing support in various parts of the national geography, which strengthens his expectations for the country’s political future.<\/p>\n\n\n
- The former president recalled that the pre-campaign period is stipulated for next year, while the official electoral campaign will begin in October 2027.<\/li>
- He dismissed the immediate relevance of current polls, reiterating that the political landscape must evolve according to the established legal deadlines.<\/li>
- He reaffirmed his commitment to the development of the party structure, ensuring that support for the organization is multiplying nationwide.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n
Commitment to social values<\/h3>\n\n
On another note, during a recent diplomatic event in which the Dominican Republic’s accession to the Geneva Consensus Declaration was formalized, the former head of state positively assessed this initiative. Fern\u00e1ndez described the agreement as a transcendent step for the nation, underscoring its importance in the protection of the family, childhood, and life.<\/p>\n\n
Finally, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez reiterated that, although the debate regarding future candidacies generates comments in various sectors, his position remains cautious, prioritizing compliance with electoral regulations over any media speculation regarding presidential tickets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
