This is a parody of the notorious PLD campaign ad, apparently made by Candelier's opposition party:
YouTube - Leonel Conpocam
This is the actual spot that caused all the fuss:
YouTube - Spot publicitario Leonel Fernandez
It was pulled this week, probably more to do with the fact that it had outlived its useful life anyway.
Yesterday's DR1 news:
PLD pulls TV spot
After much hue and cry, the PLD party has announced that it is removing the controversial television spot featuring the President and an active military officer, who is also a professional actor. While stating that "no one can be forced to do something that is not covered by the law, nor prohibited from doing something the law does not prohibit," Spokesman for the ruling PLD party, Cesar Pina Toribio, who is also the presidential legal advisor, stated that the PLD would refrain from political propaganda if the other parties also cease their campaigns. Other party spokespersons were not so cordial, and told reporters from El Caribe newspaper that there was no reason to take their messages off the air, since they did not violate the Electoral Law.
