El Caribe reports that the current crisis within the PRD party is still far from being settled. The paper says that the results of Sunday’s plebiscite would either endorse the Presidential bid for immediate re-election or discard it. Page 3 of Hoy’s Sunday edition carried a full-page ad taken out by the PRD in which it cited the step-by-step development of the anti-re-election movement since the party’s founding. El Caribe emphasized that the split was caused by the PPH’s insistence on the subject of re-election. Reporter Nicanor Leyba said that Presidential aide Siquio Ng de la Rosa used several of the local media to falsely announce the cancellation of the plebiscite. Pedro Catrain, a political analyst, told El Caribe that the crisis will become yet more profound because “solutions in a conflict based on principles are practically impossible.” On the other hand, Rafael Subervi is looking for some sort of patronage from the PPH, especially since his abandonment of the Group of Seven, now a group of six. President Mejia called the plebiscite “a joke.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
