The PRD’s internal party reconciliation committee is holding a summit meeting today. While President Hipolito Mejia is scheduled to attend, most of his big-name rivals for the PRD candidacy have said they would not be present. The most forceful rebuttal came from PRD party president Hatuey Decamps, who said he would not engage in any dialogue with Mejia until he abandons his re-election ambitions. Ivelisse Prats de Perez, who is organizing the event, said that the presence of the party president was imperative, and that “democracy is made by everyone”. Rafael “Fello” Subervi Bonilla was less negative, saying that all problems have a solution. “I have always been positive. Even when you are dying, you have to believe you can be saved,” said Subervi, although he was at the same time non-committal about attending the summit, claiming he had not yet received his invitation. Vice-President Milagros Ortiz Bosch is another prominent figure who claims not to have been invited.
