Balaguer leaves Houston hospital

Former President Joaqu?n Balaguer abandoned the Methodist Hospital of Houston Texas after two weeks of intense medical check ups and a treatment to help him regain mobility in his legs. The 93-year old politician is a patient of Michael DeBakey. Dr. Balaguer traveled to Miami where he will continue to recover. No date has been given for his return to the DR. Dr. Balaguer’s PRSC recently scored a major win with the election of PRSC senator Amable Aristy Castro to the post of secretary general with the support of the ruling PLD party. The win gives the PRSC a position of strength. The party lost the presidency, the congress, and most city governments. Despite being at the present time a minority party, the voters of the PRSC are expected to mean the difference between who wins the next elections.
