Former President Joaquín Balaguer, leader of the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano (PRSC), said when interviewed by journalists during a visit to the tomb of his mother at the Cristo Redentor Cemetery: "No, no, I am not aspiring to anything," he said when asked if he would seek the PRSC presidential candidacy for the year 2000 elections. "I am at the service of the PRSC and I await instructions from the party." He added, "only God knows about those things." He said he agrees with party directors that are calling for the party to meet to determine the presidential candidate for the year 2000 elections. "I agree. The party has to, at the right time, meet in an assembly to take the appropriate decisions." he said.
