“Don’t be crying,” Senate president tells losing candidate

SANTO DOMINGO. – Senate president Reinaldo Pared Wednesday said ex president Hipolito Mejia is mistakenly questioning the last election by crying, because the world has already legitimized them.

The former president and ex candidate of the opposition PRD party recently said of the May 20 elections, "president Leonel Fernandez stole them with fraud."

"There’s no name for that. He shouldn’t be crying and collect those tears and should do other things,” the lawmakers asked Mejia after a National Assembly session which ratified the elections won by Danilo Medina and Margarita Cedeño.
