Pedro wants to thank all those good and generous people who have helped him bring this vision to fruition, as he feels without their support and encouragement, understanding and assistance he would not have been able to reach thus far.

 Dominican Republic - SANTANA AND BAEZ
Santana responded to general discontent, prompted mainly by the deteriorating currency and economy, by resigning from the presidency in February 1848 and retiring to his ranch in the province of El Seibo.
Santana favored Santiago Espaillat, who won a ballot in the Congress on July 5, 1849; Espaillat declined to accept the presidency, however, knowing that he would have to serve as a puppet so long as Santana controlled the army.
President Báez purged Santana's followers (santanistas) from the government and installed his own sycophants (baecistas) in their place, pardoned a number of Santana's political opponents, reorganized the military in an effort to dilute Santana's power base, and apparently conceived a plan to create a militia that would serve as a counterforce to the army.

 Pedro Santana Lopes -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The situation inherited by Santana Lopes was little better, as the previous government led by Barroso had been able to comply with European Union directives regarding the deficit only by the sale of state property.
Santana Lopes was also unable to gain a popular reputation as a competent Prime Minister, being seen as a skilled politician with no talent for government.
This was because, although his appointment was in fact legitimate within the framework of the Portuguese Constitution, he hadn't been elected a Member of Parliament (as he was by then the elected Mayor of Lisbon).

SANTANA, Pedro (san-tah'-nah), president of Santo Domingo, born in Hincha, 29 June.
Santana was re-elected president in 1853, and again defeated Soulouque's invasions in 1855 and 1856; but the credit of the government de-dined, and he resigned early in 1857.
The internal struggles continued, and, despairing of his ability to preserve peace, San-tana opened negotiations with Spain, and, on 18 March, 1861, the incorporation of Santo Domingo with the Spanish monarchy was proclaimed.
