The president of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Jose Ignacio Paliza has had some hard explaining to do regarding Boanerges Sánchez Nolasco (a.k.a. Warnel Sánchez, W La Letra, Doble W), a party member who aspired to be senator for the largest opposition party in eastern Hato Mayor. Sánchez had campaigned for pre-candidate to senator for the PRM for the province of Hato Mayor.
Jose Ignacio Paliza, who is the senator for Puerto Plata, said that the party had carried out all the usual background checks on Sanchez.
It now happens that Sánchez (a.k.a. “Warnel”, W La Letra) is on the list of the US Treasury Kingpin Act-designated individuals for being part of the Drug Trafficking Operation of capo Cesar Emilio Peralta.
The show business promoter and budding politician happens to be the brother of a former spokesman for the party in the Chamber of Deputies, PRM deputy Rolando Sanchez.
The president of the PRM, Jose Ignacio Paliza, denies that Sanchez was a pre-candidate. He said the party had reserved the senator seat for the province. But Paliza did not name who the party had in mind for the nomination.
