PRD wants dialogue televised

The executive body of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD), known as the Presidium, last night agreed to ask that political dialogue being undertaken at the National Palace at the invitation of President Leonel Fern?ndez be televised once the dialogue resumes this Friday. PRD spokesman Tony Raful told reporters that the measure was requested to "guarantee transparency" in the discussion of differences between the three major parties – PRD, the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and the Reformist-Social Christian Party (PRSC) – over the composition of the Central Election Board (JCE) and the election of the Secretary-General (SG) of the Dominican Municipal League (LMD).
