Hatuey Decamps, PRD party president, pre-Presidential hopeful and perhaps the most fierce opponent of President Hipolito Mejia’s re-election ambitions, has won a re-election of his own. Decamps was unanimously re-elected vice president of the Socialist International organization (IS) at their convention in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil yesterday. The Diario Libre’s back-page column “De buena tinta” by Adriano Miguel Tejada informs that the PPH (Proyecto Presidencial Hipolito) delegation to the convention were unable to stop their adversary’s re-appointment, as reportedly was their goal as the first step in a strategy to depose him as PRD president. “El Cacique” (the Chief) as Decamps is known, for his Taino namesake as well as for his leadership qualities, now has a better hand of cards for his return to the fray when he arrives back in the Dominican Republic, says Tejada, who can be contacted at atejada@tricom.net
