Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) presidential pre-candidate Francisco Dom\u00ednguez had invited former President Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez to debate on Sunday, 1 September 2019. Fern\u00e1ndez was a no show. Dom\u00ednguez Brito left the podium for Fern\u00e1ndez empty and went ahead to present his proposals to followers and press as scheduled at 9am at the Hotel Embajador, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dom\u00ednguez Brito seeks to be the forerunner against Fern\u00e1ndez in the 6 October 2019 primary. During the primary, the ruling party will choose its presidential candidate. Polls indicate that the top three contenders are Fern\u00e1ndez, Dom\u00ednguez and former Public Works Minister Gonzalo Castillo, the last to enter the political race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dom\u00ednguez Brito said he sent an invitation to Fern\u00e1ndez and suggested this take place in a city hotel. He said the debate should focus on what each candidate proposes for the economy, social justice, crime, corruption and impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is time that we discuss the proposals,” said Dom\u00ednguez Brito during a press conference to announce the invitation to debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dom\u00ednguez Brito is one of a group of six PLD politicians that had agreed to carry out polls to determine who would run for the group in the primary against former President Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez. The six aspired to get the backing of President Danilo Medina. Recently new campaigner Gonzalo Castillo is announcing he has the favor of Medina and is running in the primary. The Central Electoral Board (JCE) has given the party an extension until 10 September to remove pre-candidates registered for the 6 October primary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
