Electoral definition puts out smear campaign

The definitions of the supports candidates Hipólito Mejía of the PRD, and Danilo Medina of the LDP are are materializing early when missing days to the JCE to declare open the electoral process, but this leaves out the dirty campaign.

Upon ratification last Sunday the powers that the President of the PRSC, Carlos Morales Troncoso, sign pacts and alliances with other political forces, with a view to the elections of 20 may, the organization aims to support Medina.

Perhaps many reformist leaders fear that go alone to the upcoming elections might be a leap into the void, given that its surveys and others that have been published in recent months assigned a score of less 5% to that organization policy.

The PRSC has been accustomed to the convenience of power and President Leonel Fernandez has given reward in their three regimes by the support received from the two organizations, even in life u000aDr. Balaguer, chose the "good path".

With the debate between Mejia and Medina on support for the respective nominations, when you think the electoral definition seeks much before the tournament that any of them might happen in the first round, the decision of the PRSC would be important to.

Contrary to those who opposed within the PRSC to the powers granted Morales Troncoso, including Amable Aristy Castro and Ito Bisonó, would-be presidential with his own projects, many leaders and activists link the future to the peledeísmo.

It could be paradoxical but the same Sunday social democratic revolutionary party, who heads Hatuey De Camps, which gave it powers to negotiate with other parties the presidential candidacy to that leader, heard many attendees cry by Mejía.

De Camps offered some very strong statements against President Fernández and his regime, u000acollected some Internet media but that printed newspapers not described, perhaps as desacatadas and out of the Press Act.

These statements, here not cited for the same reasons, would imply that the PRSD, a detached of the PRD and minority party according to the results of previous elections, will go own way or will leave their followers released vote.

Such a decision is not detrimental to other than the candidate Mejía and to the PRD because that candidate and in Camps, as says, they held talks in which there was talk up the composition of a new Government that could lead to Mejía.

The same day of Camps launched the barrage against the regime and the President, the candidate of the PRD attacked the first lady and vice presidential candidate of the LDP, Margarita Cedeño, saying that "you don't know anything, he doesn't know where is Gurabo", his hometown of.

"Is the beginning of" u000a"a cannibal campaign", said a television commentator, perhaps in anticipation of the fact that the press will have to sift reckless accusations, in a country where recourse to the law on defamation motivate an uproar for reasons policies.

Although President Fernández concurs not as a candidate for the upcoming election, many of the attacks are directed to him and not to the candidate Medina, benefited recently by two independent surveys that are favorite front Mejía.

According to the latest polls of Insight S.A. and Penn, Schoen and Berland, enterprises to the group without Medina is slightly above Mejía but sufficient as a victory. Cedeño de Fernández appears as the most valued.

To disaggregate the data provided by the survey of the group without, highlights the fact that candidacy Danilo-Margarita, he has taken to Mejía of young people, many of them new voters who favor u000apreviously thought in favor of the ex-President.

Tras BIS and PPC
believed that the binomial Danilo-Margarita will seek other support here in late February when the JCE declared open the campaign. Between the parties without definition so far, are the BIS, detachment of the PRD that supports the Government, and whose leader, Jose Francisco Peña guava will soon receive powers to negotiate.

Another is the Christian people's Party, led by Héctor r. Peguero Mendez, which meet its Convention to grant powers to the leader to negotiate.

Is anticipated that Peguero Mendez, whose party has modest positions in the Government and which is considered to be strong in the border region, will support the binomial Danilo-Margarita.

The advantage of having the BIS and the PPC in the so-called progressive bloc that Medina is reviving, is that the first preserves part of the legacy of Dr. Peña Gómez. The second praises of being the only one of 27 Parties recognized that u000acomplies with the law 340-06 on procurement and contracting of goods, according to El Nuevo Diario, published Saturday 13 of December.
