Orlando Gil, political commentator of El Siglo newspaper, speculates that with the late Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez gone from the PRD, there could be a reshuffling of the affiliations of several senators. He mentions senator Fernando Alvarez Bogaert of the Unión Democrática, Ginette Bournigal, PRD-Puerto Plata and Bernardo Alemán, PRD-Monte Cristi could become PRSC allies in the near future, disregarding PRD party directives. Bournigal’s husband was once senator for Puerto Plata for the PRSC.
