NEW YORK.- While the opposition PRD party back in Dominican Republic aims to root out the “traitors” responsible for its defeat in the May 20 polls, the ruling PLD also unleashes its witch hunt, but in the U.S., where “heads will roll” for losing the elections for Overseas deputies.
Senior PLD leader and Overseas minister Eduardo Selman will head a meeting aimed at seeking the ouster many PLD colleagues accused of being “treasonous.”
The tense atmosphere began several weeks before the elections, when the candidates to Overseas deputies started to notice a lack of effort by alleged supporters of their campaigns, prompting ex general consul and candidate Francisco Fernandez to denounce the “treason.”
Among the “traitors” figure several officials with important posts in the UN, the OAS and the in New York General Consulate.
The “treason” reportedly spread to several states of the U.S. electoral region #1, in which the PLD’s candidates to Overseas congressional seats suffered a sweep at the hands of the PRD, and the worse showing of the last three overseas elections.

Now is a good time to get rid of 70% of all the diplomatic corps, and reduce to a minimum our expenses in dollars.
good thoughts but makes u think the money saved will find its way for the poor in the dr?
Atabey will Finally lose His BOTELLAS!
I wish it were true that I was in on such largess, but sadly for YOU, I have my own Private means of sustenance.
Go try and collect your Hippo dung Josean; after a week after the elections, it's already started to putrefy in DR.
Machete Afilaos Night is upon us. :)
First you lost the DT Poll and now you let Narc-Lie-onel Down!
"I have my own Private means of sustenance."
Your wife’s 99 weeks of unemployment benefits are about to run out, you should have worked harder for a PURPLE MAFIA Victory in New York!
Their loss came as a result of expats getting bloody sick and tired of all their relatives constantly calling for fricken money and complaining about how bad things have gotten.
The only people whose lives actually improved over the last 8 years have been the 1 million PLD oligarchy that directly benefits from their political positions and or mafia controls over the government or servicing "their" needs and desires for their dirty money economy. .
So what else is new?
W\hat ?
Are you having some of that killer Haitian ganga?
Or too soon in the Brugal?
John, cheap booze will kill you.
I don't want to be a diplomat for DR for no reason. All the brown nosing, and dressing up in a suit is not for me. I am tired of suits and uniforms both.
I wouldn't have a heart to get a salary (if you are lucky every three months), and knowing that the dollars that they are paying me, could go to feed, shelter and educate a poor child in my beloved Republica Dominicaine.
