San Juan, Puerto Rico, Mar 15, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The archbishop of San Juan urged the citizens of Puerto Rico to vote in the November elections and to leave behind the corruption of the past in order to build a more decent future, reported the Associated Press yesterday.
Archbishop Roberto Gonzalez Nieves said it would be a great tragedy if apathy were to take over and the election results did not reveal the will of the people. He also urged candidates to participate in a clean campaign, promoting dialogue, tolerance, respect, diversity, culture, education, and peace.
