If Hipolito proclaims himself a candidate you can be sure that the PLD will win in 2016.

Where is Trujillo's grandson? He needs to emerge, it's time for a change.

Hipolito Mejia announces he will not go to PRD convention



SANTO DOMINGO -. Former President Hipolito Mejia said Friday he will not participate in the next PRD convention.

Also called on his followers not to take part in "this farce."

He said that two years ago, has made all efforts to unify the organization and to be an option in 2016, "but everything has been in vain."
To do this, he explained that it was addressed by representatives of the Churches, members of civil life of the business, the media, international leaders and friends of the PRD, "but we can not get the other group to see reason" due to the "arrogant and undemocratic" attitude Miguel Vargas, president of the PRD.

Mejia also accused the judges of the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE) of being "complicit Vargas.
He argued that "the Superior Electoral Court and the current JCE the country will be led to a new electoral slaughter. Therefore must face specific actions to stay corrected that situation and there is no opportunity to repeat."

He said that he will face an opponent Vargas. "We decided to participate as a PRD in the broad opposition front Convergence for a Better Country, composed of political parties, popular organizations, civil society and individual citizens committed to the best interests of the Dominican people," he said in an address from the Instituto Jos? Francisco Pe?a G?mez.
"This agreement will allow space for PRD and the people prosecute the struggle and demands for political, economic and social demands that are pressing them," he said.

Also described as "perverse" the so-called pact signed blue ties between it and the president Leonel Fernandez, who was responsible for the crisis that crosses the white party.
He said the agreement was designed with the intent to remove the PRD competition and perpetuate the PLD in power.
In this regard, urged leaders and PRD to do everything necessary to "recover" the party.

Even hipolito will win from Trujillo's grandson

I don't know, I'm told he has a good following. If only the majority of the people can get pass the Trujillo name.:ermm:

He will need a strong campaign to promote change and to ease the fear of dictatorship.

Dv8: You probably don't know the history of The PRD that well, but this is what this party does over and over. It's a miracle they've won any elections in spite of being the largest party in The DR. The PLD itself was created by a split of the original PRD which was created by Bosch, but he left and founded the PLD when The PRD got too corrupt for his taste.

Political parties such as "La Estructura", PRI, PRSD (Hatuey's party), etc have all been created as the result of internal splits. Its a party of big egos and people who don't know the meaning of the world cooperation. People who are sore losers and often result to violence to resolve their conflicts.

As much as I don't particularly like The PLD I hope the PRD continues to lose until the old guard retires, passes away, etc and new blood takes the reign or even better some kind of new party with a better vision of the future emerges.

suarezn, i am aware of the history of PRD and PLD. it was actually the most successful political split ever because bosch was very charismatic and managed to pull his people out of PRD and then gain more supporters. interestingly enough, PRSC that governed DR for many decades (balaguer) was also overtaken and crashed by PLD. in 1996 leonel won the election against both PRSC and PRD and that was probably the last time all three parties were in the presidential elections with similar strength. PRD won in 2000 and from 2004 it's PLD again. PRSC never got up again...

in any case, this is why PRD is divided yet does not part completely. even hipolito is scared to leave. big party equals big money. leaving means struggle. and it will be difficult to have everyone in his fraction pull out with him. it's an interesting lesson in dominican politics.
