Former President Joaquín Balaguer resumed his afternoon walks along the Mirador Park on Sunday, after weeks of reclusion. The nongenarian politician had suspended his walks after he caught a cold. Upon recovery, he continued to stay at home to avoid meeting with certain party members that seek nomination for the 1998 municipal and congressional elections and are unhappy with the results of the primaries. Interviewed at the Mirador Park, the former President said he would invite former Vice President Jacinto Peynado, and the political secretary of the party, Federico Antún Batlle, to a meeting with him at his home so that they could air out their differences in regard to the results of the primaries. The PRSC primaries have been described as "symbolic." It is expected that Dr. Balaguer will choose the candidates he pleases to represent the PRSC in the 1998 municipal and congressional elections.
