Agripino says ‘no’

Yesterday’s papers published a paid full-page advertisement consisting of a letter from prominent PRSC member and president of the municipal league (LMD) Amable Aristy Castro. The letter was addressed to Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, who has distinguished himself as a mediator in several national platforms, such as the Dialogo Nacional. Aristy Castro sought to have Monsignor Nunez Collado mediate in the crisis that is threatening to split the PRSC. The papers are reporting today that the Rector of PUCMM University met with PRSC leaders yesterday and declined to act as a mediator for both the PRSC and the PRD parties, on the grounds that it would be inappropriate for him to intervene in the affairs of a particular political party. In his opinion, the PRSC has a greater chance of reconciliation than the ruling PRD, which according to Monsignor Nunez Collado, is in a state of “irreversible” crisis.
