President Leonel Fernandez spoke out against the Law of Primaries yesterday, saying it was pushed through Congress and approved without the consensus of the political parties, reports Diario Libre. On the other hand, PLD political mastermind and Presidential Secretary Danilo Medina supports its application. He told newspaper reporters that he is “totally in favor” of the new law, feeling it would guarantee the internal unity of the parties. He said the new law eliminates one of the major reasons for confrontation by enforcing the use of the JCE voter list.
