Leonel Fernández and Senator Omar Fernández trade roles in Father's Day video

On Father's Day, Dominican Senator Omar Fernández posted a humorous video featuring himself and his father, former President Leonel Fernández, swapping their political roles for a day. In the clip, Leonel assumes the duties of a senator – reviewing legislative agendas, meeting with party members and even proposing a tongue‑in‑cheek law about Father’s Day gifts – while Omar pretends to be the party leader, wearing a suit, taking coffee and delivering a mock inauguration of new party members.

The video, shared on social media, includes an AI‑generated scene of Leonel seated in a congressional seat and ends with Omar’s message: “Respect, love and enjoy your fathers, as I do with mine.” The light‑hearted exchange was intended to celebrate fathers and showcase the family bond between the two prominent figures of the Dominican Fuerza del Pueblo party.
