Vice President Milagros Ort?z Bosch, a pre-presidential candidate for the ruling PRD party, as of today has left her post as Minister of Education to concentrate on her campaign. Her duties will be assumed by a ?triumvirate? in the Ministry, selected by President Hip?lito Mej?a, who approved her leave from the post. Although she said she was grateful to the President for allowing her to take leave, she said it was not necessary for other pre-presidential candidates in ministerial positions, such as Tourism Minister Rafael ?Fello? Suberv? Bonilla, to follow the same course of action. It is rumored that PRD party vice president and academic Ivelisse Prats de P?rez will be installed in the post, but she has so far denied these speculations.
