Milagros Ortiz Bosch, also a pre-candidate for the PRD
nomination, fired off a salvo herself on Sunday. According to the report in the
El Caribe, she said that both Mej?a and Leonel Fern?ndez were incompetent to
rule the country. In her surprising press release, the Vice-President slash
candidate, said that neither Leonel nor Hip?lito Mej?a were able to renovate the
Dominican society and neither showed any capacity to understand today?s society.
She said that neither one can govern for another four years because they are not
in harmony with the aspirations and expectations of the Dominican people. Ortiz
Bosch made her statement to refute the claim by Leonel Fern?ndez that the PRD
government was characterized by vulgarity and brutish behavior.
