- Thread starter dv8
- Start date
Leonel wants to return to ?steal, increase corruption and destroy the country?
The World Knows
The international press is reporting about Leonel's painful implications.
Sin Compromiso
En el exterior se publica sobre Quirino
The Guardian informa de ataques de Quirino a Leonel
The national press, however, is not so outspoken....
... but they can now quote foreign newspapers... :laugh:

there is no other option but PLD. PRSC is nonexistent and the rift between PRD and newly formed PRM is so deep they'd rather vote for the devil than each other. one may still recall a 2003 poll from one of dominican radio stations about voting in upcoming election where more listeners declared they'd rather vote for the devil than hipolito. the devil won 14 to 2, btw.
Power Hungry
Unfortunately, it is LF who wants by all means get back to power.

the truck with speakers was riding today around Las Terrenas and inviting people for some kind of fiesta...sponsored by LF and his party;-)
PSB is losing a lot of credibility if they allow themselves to be used for such partial polls. All but one are negative answers and the negative answers are formulated in a way to put things in the minds of the inquired.
On the PLD losing if it's not Danilo who's candidate: they'll win whoever they choose as a candidate, no doubt about that. I think it's a hard choice: a corrupt president with vision for the country or a less corrupt (or better in hiding it) that has no vision and wants to give in to the NGO's, multilateral commissions and the UN because he's to weak to stand for his country. I'm slightly in favor of Leonel as the next president.
I'll be back to considering going back to Europe if hipolito will be PRD's candidate and by accident wins the elections.

Last time I saw, Leonel did just that. Never was an administration more friendly to NGO's, weak-kneed with the UN/multilateral commissions or the open borders crowd, yet at the same time, never was the country more attacked by said sectors. Weren't you living here from 2007-2010 by chance? And by the way, regarding "vision", I wouldn't call concentrating in the capital with the Metro and such while neglecting the rest of the country for the most part as having one. And the first line of the Metro wasn't even built on the more congested East-West path between the capital proper and Santo Domingo Este, so that should tell you volumes about his so called "vision".

Statesman or 'Hablador'?
Hmm, do you mean to say that LF has a vision and DM has not?
Sure, Leonel (or Ladronel as many people call him) does envision himself as a great statesman... but people rather see him as a 'grande hablador'. :tired:

Seems we have a very interesting dual of strength going on in the ruling party.
LF in Nagua and North Coast on the 'stump'
Whilst DM lets his constituency.......the majority........plead his case.

Has he been out-manoeuvered? Probably yes.
Politics is unfair at times....IMO the country has found a leader to take them forward.....but not for long enough.

Agreed. DM will never ask for a change in the constitution alone. But he would surely abide, if demanded by the will of the people and a growing bandwagon, as demonstrated in the Cibao Arena today which has probably upstaged LF.
IMO I suspect LF has played his cards better to negate this potential threat but probably with a resultant loss of party unity.
An interesting game of chess.
Putin rigged the constitution so he could get an additional 8 years after his 4 year break with his PM subordinate holding the fort in the interim
yop, you are right. but most the nation loves him so he has legitimate power anyway....
Yes, I believe Leonel has more vision than Danilo. The only good thing Danilo has done so far is giving money to education. That's still not having a vision. Especially when you see how they're spending it, now they give bad education in more schools and areas than before!
Leonel focused on the capital realizing that there's where the money will have to be made, in the capital is where the steady 6-8% growth of the economy since the end of the 90's has been taking place. If Leonel would have invested in education instead of infrastructure that growth wouldn't have been possible. Instead of starting in the long term problem he first fixed the short term problem, which took him 12 years. Now Danilo is his placeholder starting to implement the long term plan. I wouldn't be surprised if Leonel's next 4 years will be his best four yet.
/PICHARDO mode (but I do believe this)

The PLD will just put anybody as a candidate to win the election, whoever is needed, whoever the people want. Remember, despite all the competition within the party, they are smart enough to stick together.
It doesn't matter who will be the next president, as long as the PLD stays in power, their hardcore members will be fine.
