The widow of the former leader of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano favors that senator re-elect for Santo Domingo, Milagros Ortíz Bosch be the presidential candidate of the PRD in the year 2000 elections. Mrs. Peggy Cabral viuda Peña, who was active in politics herself when her husband was alive, presides the Federación Dominicana de Mujeres Socialdemocratas (Fedomusde). Commenting on the results of the Hamilton & Staff survey commissioned by Hoy that places Senator Ortíz well ahead of her fellow party members, Cabral said that it proves that Ortíz was not in the post because of the support she received from PRD leader, the late José Francisco Peña Gómez. Peggy Cabral said she would like to see Ortíz Bosch as the next candidate because she is a woman and for her great accomplishments as politician. Nevertheless, she said that the low preferences attributed to Hatuey Decamps, Rafael Suberví Bonilla and Hipólito Mejía could easily be turned around when the political campaigns began.
