Former President Leonel Fernández, who is the president of the ruling Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), has said the party is not exempt from complying with the law and that he has ordered the 2017 financial report of the use of the party’s funds to be submitted to the Central Electoral Board (JCE), following the suspension of the disbursement of funds to the PLD along with another seven political parties that had not filed the required financial reports.
He said that the financial controller of the party, Francisco Liranzo, was working hard with the secretary general and presidency of the party to complete all of the information as to the expenditure of public funds by the party so that the document could be submitted. He had been waiting for bank statements that had now arrived.
On Monday of this week, 11 June 2018, the JCE had suspended the issue of funds to eight parties due to the fact they had not submitted their accounts.
The other parties involved are the Popular Front (FA), Provincial Movement of Current Youth (MJP), Democratic Alliance (ADP), Independent Revolutionary Party (PRI), Independent United and Progress Movement (MIUP), Alliance for the Rescue of Barahona Movement (ARBA) and the National Citizen Volunteer Party (PNVC).
