Public employees forced to campaign for Mej?a from DR1 Daily News.
"The List?n Diario reports that Enmanuel Esquea Guerrero, the former presidential legal advisor and a present aspirant to the PRD?s presidential candidacy ticket, said that government office employees are being obliged to participate in presidential re-election support meetings and caravans. He said that key PRD politicians are checking to see if employees attend and threatening those who do not with their dismissal. He also said that, in some public offices, deductions are being made from employees? paychecks and funneled to the PPH faction that promotes the re-election of President Hip?lito Mej?a. Esquea has been vocal with his personal opposition to President Mej?a seeking re-election, on grounds that this is against party policy."
This is legal in the DR? There is no law against an incumbent party from doing so?
