A deal that will provide as many as 12 senators, 78 deputies and 65 mayors for the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano (PRSC) was struck yesterday, after the PLD and the PRSC broke off talks of any political alliance. The young leaders of both parties, Orlando Jorge Mera and Victor Gomez Casanova, told a press conference that the political alliance will have to be approved by party leaders from both sides. What the alliance means is that each party will support the other party’s candidates and that they won’t compete against each other. The deal is an effort to restore the PRSC to a position of importance and reduce the impact of a theoretical PLD upsurge in the upcoming elections. Neither of the two parties will compete against the other in the elections. Sources within the PRSC told El Caribe that the senate seats were assigned to Johnny Jones in the National District, Victor Gomez Berges in Santo Domingo province, Tony Rivera in La Vega, Victor Garcia Santos in Santiago, Felix Vasquez in Sanchez Ramirez, Amable Aristy Castro in Higuey, and Jose Hazim Frappier in San Pedro de Macoris. The agreement also gives the PRSC the senate seats for Barahona, Salcedo, Pedernales and Santiago Rodriguez. The PRSC political committee was due to study the deal yesterday and today, the party executive will consider it. The PRD executive committee will analyze the proposed pact today.
