El Caribe?s ?En la cosa? column reports today that a meeting was held at which President Hip?lito Mej?a would have been open to negotiate his withdrawal of his bid for the Presidency in exchange for a position in the PRD that would free him from the possibility of a heavy double burden: division of the PRD and electoral defeat. The columnist points out that the economic problems combined with the divisiveness within the party has generated a wave of uncertainty among the closest followers of President Hip?lito Mej?a.
Meanwhile, President Hip?lito Mej?a said yesterday that he agrees with everything in Vice President Milagros Ortiz Bosch?s PRD pre-candidacy launching speech, except in passing on to her the presidency of the country.
