Reformistas in government reject party suspension

The PRSC leaders sanctioned by their party on Monday for participating in the PLD-led government have unanimously refused to leave their posts and to recognize the suspension of their party functions. Alfredo Mota Ruiz, civil assistant to President Fernández, Arístides Fernández Zuco, governor of Las Américas International Airport, Vitelio Mejía, director of the Civil Aviation Board, Annie Felipe, director of Passports, and Gimmy García Saviñon, advisor to the President on sugar matters, all refused to recognize the statutory authority of the PRSC’s Executive Committee to suspend them and called upon PRSC leader, ex-President Joaquín Balaguer, to clarify his own position about Reformistas serving in the PLD government.
