Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic president Leonel Fernandez will decide before April 10 if he’ll seek a new term with the ruling PLD party, the main promoter of the chief executive’s re-election, Felix Bautista, revealed by phone yesterday to newspaper Hoy.

The PLD Central Committee has announced the selection of its presidential candidate for April 10.

The also San Juan province senator said Fernandez’s reelection coordinating team asked the Public Notaries Guild to certify the 2.2 million alleged signatures collected to spur the chief executive to accept a new bid.

Bautista, who’s also the PLD’s Secretary of organization said what’s most important in last Sunday’s rally is that those signatures are political-electoral assets of the party. “And whomever the candidate, we have the control of that amount of voters in the country and abroad. We know how their name, where they live, which is their Cedula and how to communicate with them.”

He noted however that the electoral register has more than six million voters and the 2.2 million signatures represents only 33% of the voting population.

I feel bad for Danilo Medina and too many others men in the PLD,now They are victims of the aberration that MR FERNANDEZ has developed.

Once again ignoring the constitution. If LF wants to run again they need to amend it to allow him to run. If he gets to run again I will not support him.

I feel bad for el profesor BOSH,LEONEL has killed ideologically.He. Will not rest in peace.Leonel is a dictator now. Who was who by then? 1990 Leonel qualified BALAGUER as a dictator and he went to Washington to complaint.

What a HORRIBLY SAD DAY for DR if it happens that the SNAKE is re elected. We know Fernandez has no dignity or integrity. We know he is a low life bottom feeder. Will the people of my country allow this to happen? We have suffered the consequences of this despicable human being and his 12 years of Presidency. He is a disgrace to the PLD, a disgrace to the Dominican Presidency, a disgrace to the mother that birthed this mojon vestido, a disgrace, a disgrace, a disgrace. He is despicable and I detest him in every way possible. He is a fraud he is not a man he is a snake, a filthy queen perpetrating a fraud in every possible way.

I just don't understand what type of dirty political trick to confuse many is this one. I don't pay attention to the game about Leonel Fernandez using tactics to be a candidate. Listen to this out there! He has to let some other friend in the party to run the rummors, because he needs to get passed the selection of the candidate for the PLD in order to support the winner. He could even decide to be one of the candidate, knowing he will be eliminated. That way he didn't have to support any other before the internal election. Got it!

Tu sabes lo que es eso son las mismas tacticas balagueristas,fomenta la ignorancia en la sociedad para despues sacarle provecho,como es que este tipo esta hablando de reelectcion y ese pueblo desangrandose en las calles,leonel no ha tenido los cojones de poner orden ni en la policia.no hay una institucion que halla resuelto su problema,los periodistas hacen el trabajo de la fiscalia y la procuraduria no hace nada,y son tan ridiculos que el ladronazo de bautista esta encabezando las supuestas des millones de firmas.
