Ambassador to Argentina Cesar Pina Toribio has resigned from the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), according to a letter he sent to Reinaldo Pared Pérez. Reportedly, he has also submitted his resignation as ambassador to Argentina.
He has been the Dominican ambassador in Argentina since March 2017 after more than a decade as legal advisor to the President. Media reports say he is the sixth member of the influential Political Committee of the PLD to resign after former President Leonel Fernández left the party to form the La Fuerza del Pueblo.
In his resignation letter he said that although he thought that the PLD was a party where people could discuss ideas, exchange different thoughts and opinions, he now sees this is not possible.
Pina Toribio recalled he had been an active member of the party since 1986. Pina Toribio was legal advisor to former President Leonel Fernandez from 1996-1999 and 2004-2008. He was minister of the Presidency during the Leonel Fernández term of 2008-2012, and legal advisor to President Danilo Medina from 2012-2016. He later was appointed ambassador to Argentina.
