Hippolytus seems to agree with Miguel Vargas

Ensure that his party unify around the candidacy, something difficult after the National Convention which elected it, could be no doubt why the ex-President Hipólito Mejía reached an agreement with the engineer Miguel Vargas. Mejia would test his wisdom and experience as a politician and head of State, to understand that if things would be difficult to ensure that he wins the May election in the midst of the brega, they could be worse to maintain hostility with Vargas.

That former President Mejía said last week that it maintains a 20% over Danilo Medina, candidate of the LDP and other allied parties, may not respond to the current reality following the proclamation of the pro-Government candidates, but a battle cry campaign.

When the former President was chosen in the Convention on 6 March, will soon be one year, I was running alone, it had before it the uncertainty about what would happen to the candidacy of the LDP and the u000awear of a Government of 7 years and hit by the global crisis, was palpable.

If candidate Medina has risen from the post which gave polls four months ago it would be understandable to judge by all the expressions of support of the regime with President Fernández at the helm, as well as the unified party machinery.

Fall predictions
one of the assumptions of the pre-campaña was that Fernandez was run. Another was that he would not support, when Medina was chosen. Both fell and theme of attacking the regime and his party only was the erosion of the power. The choice of First Lady Margarita Cedeño of Fernandez, a valuable asset as it had not been any leader of the LDP, according to the polls was a blow, yet has no full development to one month of the formal start of the campaign.

Vargas pain
said that the engineer Vargas has a pain very u000alarge since that was proclaimed to Mejía prematurely at the end of the March Convention and, moreover, because made it the President of the Organizing Committee, Enmanuel Localidades, had as person honored, although an old adversary. The brega which occurred subsequently interest that organizing, solidarity Commission of the account with Localidades to pursue clearly the choice of Mejia, in an effort that, oddly, endulzó the palate of the leadership peledeísta and Dr. Fernández.

The regime argued that was chosen Mejía, had the most vulnerable of the two candidates, and therefore held that the Convention of the PRD was conducted with the open standard. Vargas I was afraid because he was apparently less weak against a campaign refusal.

Mejía has clung almost from the beginning of his campaign to the assumption that does not need to Vargas and recently said that up to 99% of the membership of the party is firmly behind its u000acandidacy.

the reality is that, as Vargas, many perredeístas are "sitting", but not only by the dispute between the two leaders, but because the party has been dragging crisis and bankrupt, despite the oxygen of the JCE that helps the parties recognized.

The PRD has a long history of indifference and contempt for its people. When former President Jorge Blanco they subjected to justice, he stayed with the support of family and intimate. The same happened to Rafael Flores Estrella. When the renowned leader Fabio Ruiz so prosecuted the case Renove, the perredeístas were not to see Najayo.

Recently Dr. Fernandez pulled out of ostracism to a relevant personality, Dr. Milton Ray Guevara, chosen as President of the Constitutional Court. Ray Guevara had been one of the drafters of the new Constitution. His party had not distinguished. The pain of Vargas has much to do with the indirect u000alaunched by former President Mejía but above all for the driven to run on the political gossip rumors that slander it him and members of their families more nearby.

Mejía must trace
Mejía has to go back and to achieve this must come to an agreement with Vargas, which apparently he wants at himself because he knows if he could not count on their personal resources, it would at least have the support of the bureaucracy perredeísta and 1% that could make the difference in a hard-fought election. Apparently the campaign and strategists Mejía aimed to President Fernandez and the regime, based their ability to go back in an attack on the administration. They forget that the candidate is Medina, working day, afternoon and evening for your point
