Leonel resigning got me in a good mood...I think I will pop some wine tonight...the country needs new faces period...
Many are saying Zolo is vastly more corrupt than Fernandez.Leonel resigning got me in a good mood...I think I will pop some wine tonight...the country needs new faces period...
I hope not, but the rest of Latin America (Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador, Venezuela, Honduras, Bolivia, Ecuador, and to some extent Puerto Rico) are all in current state of unrest - it does not take much to think the DR could follow in those Footsteps
I can assure you that Dominicans are not as concerned regarding this possibility as expatriates are. It will work itself out, as always, just in a different direction.....or party for that matter.
The PRD needed to separate itself from Hipólito Mejia, and this has finally been done.

Never will happen. The DR populace are 10,000,000 Pavlovian dogs beaten into a state of reasonableness. Not beaten in the sense of physically beaten. Beaten in the sense of hearts and minds. The masses are quelled.I hope not, but the rest of Latin America (Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador, Venezuela, Honduras, Bolivia, Ecuador, and to some extent Puerto Rico) are all in current state of unrest - it does not take much to think the DR could follow in those Footsteps

But Leon is 7 years older than Gonzalo...has been around longer...
I wonder what my in laws will do now. They marched in every parade during all the elections in the last 16 years decked out in purple supporting Leonel (and Danilo because Leonel told them to) and got their botellas in return.
Difficult choice to make now. Follow Leonel and risk losing their PLD botellas? Stick with PLD but be known as Leonel supporters? Interesting....
Uh oh....
Loiyalty to one man comes with risks.I wonder what my in laws will do now. They marched in every parade during all the elections in the last 16 years decked out in purple supporting Leonel (and Danilo because Leonel told them to) and got their botellas in return.

You mean there is a Dominican law that prevents her from resigning...how funny that is...an antiquated...
"The People's Force"
Leonel renuncia del PLD, dice en el 2020 «E’ pa’ fuera que van» y crea partido «La Fuerza del Pueblo»
Not sure how it impacts 2020---isn't there a law that says if you lose in the primary you can't run in a different party?---but the guy is obviously bitter.
Interesting times.
Gonna take a really large slice of some sweet pie to get him back on board with the PLD.
There are two laws involved. The Organic Law of the Electoral Regime 15-19 article 134 and the Political Parties law 33-18, article 49, paragraph 4.
Article 134 of Law 15-19 says that those people who have been nominated for an electoral position by a party, group, political movement or alliance, which they belong to, cannot be nominated by any other party, group, political movement or alliance, during the same electoral process.
And Law 33-18, in article 49, establishes the requirements to be a pre-candidate and in paragraph 4 says that the person aspiring to be a pre-candidate for a determined electoral event, representing a party, group or political movement, cannot participate as a candidate for another party, group of political movement, for the same electoral event.

Read that Leonel is negotiating with the Reformistas to be their candidate and then make a deal with the PRM to oppose the PLD. Straight from the Balaguer playbook.
