Partido de la Liberaci&oacute;n Dominicana candidate to senator, Melanio Paredes now has the support of the PRSC candidate to deputy in Congress. Hern&aacute;ndez is a former PLD activist and poor agronomist who was turned into a millionaire after former President Joaqu&iacute;n Balaguer lured him to the PRSC and appointed him Minister of Agriculture and then senator for San Crist&oacute;bal. He had won the PRSC primaries for senator last month but President Joaqu&iacute;n Balaguer inscribed Jos&eacute; Osvaldo Leger for the post. The PRSC leader assigned Hern&aacute;ndez the No. 1 deputy position, which means he will make it into Congress, with or without the support of the party. Hern&aacute;ndez made headlines last year for allegedly using his position to acquire Dominican Agrarian Institute lands. Hern&aacute;ndez and his brother are now major residential property developers in San Crist&oacute;bal. Political analysts say that Hern&aacute;ndez will do all possible so that Leger, who supported Pe&ntilde;a G&oacute;mez&#8217;s aspirations to win the presidency for the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD) in the 1996 presidential elections, but returned to the favor of Balaguer in time to be appointed PRSC candidate to senator, receives the least of votes. The PRSC has always won in San Crist&oacute;bal, except for a time when internal problems within the party resulted in a win for the opposition. It is expected that the PRSC internal problems will translate into a loss for the party this time around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Tito Hern&aacute;ndez (Partido Reformista Social Cristiano for San Cristobal) has made available all the billboards he used to promote his PRSC pre-candidacy for senator for San Crist&oacute;bal to an opposition party candidate.
