Re-election debate steps up

Milagros Ort?z Bosch, Vice President and PRD Presidential pre-candidate, is quoted in today?s papers warning President Hip?lito Mej?a about the wisdom of running again. PRD President Hatuey De Camps, a vociferous opponent of Mej?a?s re-election who entertains his own presidential aspirations, declared yesterday that re-election is against PRD party rules. Meanwhile, PPH (Plan Presidencial Hip?lito, the PRD internal campaign for the current President’s re-election) activists have stepped up their activities, with prominent government figures like Agriculture Minister Eligio J?quez and Guido G?mez Mazara at the helm.
