SANTO DOMINGO.- The selections of  the candidates to the General and Organization secretaries in the opposition PRD party has led to a new internal crisis, with demands from those who seek the positions and ex president Hipólito Mejía, whom yesterday demanded that the president elect Miguel Vargas look for a solution that guarantees the organization’s unity.

Mejía said that just as a solution to the position of the presidency of the PRD was found, the same will have to happen with those positions as well, which he affirmed are extremely important. "That cannot be so, we cannot stretch the election to those posts another year."

He said he’s not satisfied with the work carried out from the party’s Secretariat of Organization.

The ex- president said the PRD’s current situation led him to send a letter to Vargas requesting solutions, but didn’t specify.

According to a copy of the letter obtained by newspaper Diario Libre, Mejía told Vargas that he signed the pact to stage the Convention in an escalating manner, in the understanding that it "wasn’t to squash the aspirations of any candidate."

MalditoGringo,

If you look at his academical achievement he is a lot more intelligent than most think.
Don't believe everything you hear.
"Mejía received a high school diploma Loyola Polytechnic Institute in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic, graduating in 1962. Two years later, he attended special programs at North Carolina State University in the United States.
At age twenty-four, he was appointed director and undersecretary of the national Tobacco Institute. In 1978, has was appointed Minister of Agriculture under the government of President Antonio Guzmán Fernández. During this period, agri-business incentive laws were passed and programs to promote rural agriculture development and technification were undertaken."

I've said it before, this guy is coming back. He's thinking that people have forgotten all the corruption and graft that happened in his administration, he's betting that the economic crisis will make people think he wasn't that bad compared to the current choices.

Or he's thinking that people haven't forgotten but now that they have had an opportunity to compare....

So for you is better to make fun of the well qualified and bad spoken than making fun of the well spoken and badly qualified. Now that's funny.
