The secretary general of the PLD presented yesterday on TV a video showing the chief of the Dominican army, Major General Jorge Radhames Zorrilla Ozuna, holding an envelope with the emblem of the PRD party and removing from it a RD$20 bill as a charitable donation to an elderly man. The video was apparently shot during the major general’s tour of slum areas last Tuesday, 11 November, the day of national strike. Reynaldo Pared Perez formally requested that President Hipolito Mejia replace the army chief, who happens to be ardently in favor of the re-election of President Mejia. The PLD stressed that the Constitution bans members of the military from taking the side of any political party.
