Leonel Fernandez)
This article reads like it was written by the criminal Fernandez himself. How about some NPOV? 66.108.210.88 02:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Leonel Fernandez has been elected twice as the President of the Dominican Republic once in 1996 and again in 2004.
In 1996, Fernandez won a narrow victory as the candidate of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), over Jose Francisco Pena Gomez of the leftwing Revolutionary Democratic Party(PRD) affiliated to the Socialist International by 1.5%. He succeeded incumbent president President Joaquin Balaguer of the PRSC a Christian Democratic Party.
During his term, Fernandez' political agenda was one of economic and judicial reform. He helped enhance Dominican participation in hemispheric affairs, such as the Organization of American States and the follow up to the Miami Summit. During Fernadez's first term, the Dominican Republic enjoyed an average growth rate of seven per cent.
He was succeeded by Hipólito Mejía, the Revolutionary Democratic Party candidate who became President in 2000. During Mejía's term, the Dominican Republic suffered an economic slump with price rises, job losses and the collapse of one of the country's biggest banks leadong to the intervention of the International Monetary Fund. Fernandez stood against Mejia promising to stabilise the economy and won a convincing victory in elections held on May 16, 2004 with polls predicting that he would win 54 per cent of the vote as opposed to Mejía's vote of 36 per cent.
For the May 16th 2008 general presidential elections. Early ballot reports of 25% of the voting reports that Fernandez wins with a 54% over the 41% of the 2nd place candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado.

The following paragraph is unsourced and editorial in tone: "Many argue that his tight focus on technological development is often at the expense of basic needs such as food, health, and education and judicial reforms. Perhaps Fernández's biggest issue during both terms in office is his inability to resolve the country's chronic energy problems, as well as his unwillingness to contend with governmental clientelism and corruption. His position as legal counsel for the failed Banco Intercontinental during its spectacular collapse suggests his possible participation in the bank's alleged government influence peddling."
In particular the suggestion of corruption is not acceptable in a biography.
I will raise this issue as well as WP:BLPN. I prefer not to make any edits myself due to a possible conflict of interest, and so merely raise the issue for the community to resolve.-- Jimbo Wales ( talk) 13:54, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Nothing is said about this issue, which is pivotal, as Fernandez and his administration are constantly accused of corruption. I started a subsection on this, with sources. Is it incompatible with WP policies? -- Artery Stenosis ( talk) 02:12, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Accusations of political corruption have plagued Fernández's terms since 1996. It's been noted that it's corruption and the social exclusion of most Dominicans which keeps the country at its knees.
Mr. Fernandez is not on any of Harvard's published lists of honorary degree recipients. There is no public record of him ever receiving this degree. Shouldn't there be some burden of proof for claims of honors and degrees awarded other than the recipient's say so?
