Do you know why nobody mentioned Leonel? because he doesn't have a political trajectory, he is a lucky guy who inherited Balaguer's power.i think its interesting that nobody has mentioned Leonel in any way yet?
Pte. Balaguer knowing that he was arriving to end of his political career and that at his 96 years of age there it was not more chance for him and for his political party PRSC so in a big effort to save the nation from been governed by a Haitian born (Jose Francisco Pena Gomez) signed an unification with PLD for the political elections of 1996.
Name of the patriotic unification:
Frente Nacional Patriotico....
This was the slogan used in all the political meeting at this time.
Todos los caminos malos estan cerrados !!!
