On occasion of the 44th anniversary of the founding of the Dominican Liberation Party, which was based on the rejection of the parties then in existence and belonging to the system, the party appears to be in a deplorable situation, where not even the political leadership of the party and its main leaders seem to respect or believe in the organization that was built with such great sacrifices by good Dominicans headed by Juan Bosch in 1973, says J. Osiris Mota a founding member of the party.
According to Mota, party leaders such as Danilo Medina, Leonel Fernandez, Reinaldo Pared Perez and others pay little respect to the party’s motto of “Serve the party to serve the people.” He said that consumerism and the vices of the petit bourgeois, so criticized by party founder Juan Bosch, are those that dominate the daily lives of the party leaders today, above all in those who key positions in government.
He noted that in the latest party congress, the reforms that were decided upon have not been acted on. He criticized the cover of impunity under which many in the party act doing so much damage to the party organization. Mota goes on to question whether the party that presented itself to the population is the same party that is now ruling the country.
Along these same lines, El Dia’s editorial on 20 December 2017 observes that the ruling PLD party is repeating traits of the PRD that its founding members had criticized. The PLD was formed by PRD dissidents.
