Santo Domingo.- A thick haze surrounded Dominican Republic’s opposition PRD party headquarters as hundreds of its rank and file tried to enter a meeting of the entity’s Political Commission by force, with at least one death origilnally reproted by local media, but later updated to serious condition.
Former PRD general secretary Orlando Jorge, had announced the death of Mejia suporter Socrates Ureña, from gunshot wounds, in addition to several people hurt.
The incidents prompted antiriot police to hurl dozens of tear gas canisters into the crowd, which dispersed to nearby streets.
Former president Hipolito Mejia headed a motorcade to PRD headquarters which surrounded the area, as police stood between them and the interior of the building.
Several injuries have been reported as the rival factions pushed and shoved in front of the building on the busy Churchill Av.
Spokesman for PRD president Wilfredo Alemany condemned the situation he affirms was cuased by Mejia, and acknowledged that they were overwhelmed by the event. “The country doesn’t deserve this, we didn’t foresee this turn of events.”

Many didn't pay attention to Hipoloco, when he forecasted: "politica de masas", which meant going back to the old days of resistance against Balaguer, when riots and strikes prevailed, and the country was under constant civil demonstrations and upheavals.
This latest show of civil disobedience gives a hint, of the Hipoloco plans, to demonstrate his disregard to the laws, his mounting disrespect of the present PRD authorities, and head on confrontation to the Danilo government.
Hipoco is a sore loser, and does not care to sink the DR into a state of civil disobedience. Maybe he is longing, for the DR authorities to arrest him for inciting riots.
Unless a firm stand is taken to put this "jefe de turbas' under a short leash, riots will continue and get worse and worse.

So far 10 wounded, and the Hipoloco supporters have taken the control of the PRD headquarters.
The police is trying to enter the building, and take control of the situation. Miguel Vargas was seeing exiting in a hurry, through the back entrance.
This latest attempt of civil disobedience, is a sorry spectacle of the usual PRD modus operandi.

And yet some here on DT actually wanted the PLD to lose the last National Elections!
What a National Tragedy that would have been!
Consolidation of Democratic processes and the Rule of Law are seldom established in such a small length of time. Arguably DR has ONLY witnessed approximately 10 years or so of democratic life since the Caudillo era ended with the last of the historical Caudillos, Balaguer, What happened in 1978 with the forceful political transition was engineered by outside pressure, namely President James Carter. And then again in the early 1990's under William Clinton. The machinations that brought the PLD to the Presidency was also a Cuadillo enterprise, and one can also say that Hipolito's victory was greatly aided by the last Caudillo's graces.
So it's only very recently that the DR has had any notion of life without a Caudillo and the political immaturity, as witnessed in the chaos of the PRD, is on live media for all to see.

Read some Dominican history and you'll see why DR is currently NOT being run in a Caudillo Era.
"Which is the worst PLD or PRD. (?) It is both a political and social tragedy that the voters have no other choices. "
It might be a social tragedy that voters don't have other choices, but those ARE THE FACTS.
Getting to Denmark takes a considerable time, and DR is barely out of the Caudillo Era politics. There are still some lingering issues-NO DOUBT, but in the main, the institutionalization of the democratic process is working itself through. As the technocrats gain greater strength, DR will show better institutional control. But it will take time. And of course, there's nothing written in stone, as the old expression states.
In our current era, the PLD has demonstrated itself to be a better organized and structured political machine. In 2016, Danilo will very likely hand over the Presidential powers to another PLD candidate.

Josean...when you weed through the constant hatred...makes some valid points....but when asked about Moreno...backs off. This is no different than the PRD...PLD...PRSC...supporters here who spin whatever for whatever reason.

What I have found and ALL THE WORLD knows is that when he was National District Prosecutor during Narco lie-one’s first term 1996-2000 he tried to go after the corrupt politicians, public officials and Lie-onel fired him.
To me that’s gives him a lot of credibility until proven otherwise. Plus he left the PLD Latrine as soon as it started to smell!

i see a very sad scenario on the horizon. Danilo is . from all appearances, a well meaning guy. he is a guy with good breeding, and not from the same chopo class as Leonel, and Miguel Vargas. sadly, his efforts are going to be sabotaged by two factors. firstly, the old guard is not going to give up the feeding trough without a fight. they want to get their hands on the purse strings, at least one more time. they are going to work behind the scenes to make sure that the reforms that Danilo tries to institute meet with very limited success, if any at all. secondly, the economy is going to implode, and bring about social unrest and disillusionment. as is normal of human behavior, the blame is going to be laid at the feet of Danilo, which will give the opening for the return of King Leonel. all you need to do is to read the postings in this site to realize that the perception level of the rank and file Dominican is subterranean, in regard to politics.

look at the number of morons here, like victor, who would be ecstatic to see Leonel return. so, just like people were willing to give an abject disgrace like HipolIto a second turn at the wheel, they will give Leonel a third. the country will , effectively, live on in a state of inertia. they will build malls, and have Starbucks, and Burger King, and Ikea. simpletons like those will call that progress. meanwhile, the reforms that Danilo wanted to institute will be forgotten. the 4% for education will be allocated, but will be used to build spectacular school buildings, complete with the kickbacks to political enablers. they will be populated by principals who can barely read, but have the proper familial and social connections. it is not pretty, folks. meanwhile, the people will be kept happy with news reports that we have the biggest and best of everything. we get more tourists than everybody else, every year. tell that good news to Puerto Plata.

You are absolutely right, Dready, but there are some very rare exceptions.
" too many people want a caretaker, a provider, a captain, a leader, and a provider."
Perhaps you should have included "a Hatian to do the hard or dirty work"?
It still begs the question, "why is it so?" The Catholic Church teaches that eternity in heaven comes not from good deeds, study or hard work, but from blind faith in Jesus and the church. The Evangelical Church teaches you don't even need wait till you die to have miracle cures and financial windfalls, however tithing is mandatory.

"Queremos advertir a Miguel Vargas de que de continuar con esto va a tener al PRD en la calle a tiempo completo"
So there's no end in sight.
"so i will not comment more"
No one asked you to comment in the first place.
You never made a comment on the topic but immediately you took issue with my comments:
"Written by: Ricardolito, 27 Jan 2013 2:16 PMFrom: Dominican Republic, vieja Santo Domingo
The last posting has no basis in fact but is the result of a disorganised imagination"
Always defending your MACHO Narco Lie-onel more than his wife Margarita does!
When Saint Danilo's followers demand the constitution be changed so he can have 4 more years and Narco Lie-onel's cast of criminals oppose it, these PRD squabbles will look like pillow fights!
Si Leonel fue Tres; Porque Danilo No Puede ir Dos?
Which is the worst PLD or PRD. It is both a political and social tragedy that the voters have no other choices. Who says the "Caudillos" do not run the show todays as well.
Read some Dominican history and you'll see why DR is currently NOT being run in a Caudillo Era.
"Which is the worst PLD or PRD. (?) It is both a political and social tragedy that the voters have no other choices. "
It might be a social tragedy that voters don't have other choices, but those ARE THE FACTS.
Getting to Denmark takes a considerable time, and DR is barely out of the Caudillo Era politics. There are still some lingering issues-NO DOUBT, but in the main, the institutionalization of the democratic process is working itself through. As the technocrats gain greater strength, DR will show better institutional control. But it will take time. And of course, there's nothing written in stone, as the old expression states.
In our current era, the PLD has demonstrated itself to be a better organized and structured political machine. In 2016, Danilo will very likely hand over the Presidential powers to another PLD candidate.
It is not conveniently a Caudillo era because it's your PURPLE Caudillo who controls EVERYTHING!
.....and of course, because you say so!
"There are still some lingering issues-NO DOUBT"
Speaking of the Delusional Understament!
You have a Guy who disappeared 130,000,000 US dollars from a loan he took without congressional approval, as required by the Constitution; he then lends 36,000,000 US dollars to a "entrepreneur" his own country, Spain, said he had no entrepreneurial record to justify such a loan and then he his arrested for international drug trafficking; he is then found to have taken a half a million pesos contribution from another international drug trafficker; and after these horrendous criminal associations which in any country with a minimal modicum of the rule of law would be enough to at least initiate a serious investigation; yet he is considered a serious presidential contender for 2016 and you tell me he is not a Caudillo?
Please!

victor, blow me. you are in no position to decide who can stay, and who goes. you own nothing but a welfare ID card. secondly, this is an english speaking site, which discusses Dominican issues. it is not a Dominican site. moron.
YOu must admit...those of Dominican blood...that it is pressure from the outside that is bringing the shit to the surface. Leave it to the country...and everything is ...A...OK.
It is OUTSIDE pressure and investment that is calling for reform and accountability...not those of the barrio who due to the limits of education imposed on them for many years...still vote based on who tossed the bigger chicken.
Josean...when you weed through the constant hatred...makes some valid points....but when asked about Moreno...backs off. This is no different than the PRD...PLD...PRSC...supporters here who spin whatever for whatever reason.
Fact is...the PRD have some serious internal issues to deal with if they are to be considered leaders of this country in the future/
"but when asked about Moreno...backs off."
What do you mean?
BEHIND IT the Cardinal Lopez Rodriguez and the enemy's of liberty.
FIGHT THE ENEMY WHERE THEY ARENT !!!!!!!!!!!
FREEDOM.
"Narco-traffics and Leonel"
A distinction without a difference!
"I mean that obviously he has some dirt in his pockets...but you do not pursue that in the same intensity as others"
I have yet to find it, if you or anyone else can point in that direction I will be the first one to research and denounce.
What I have found and ALL THE WORLD knows is that when he was National District Prosecutor during Narco lie-one’s first term 1996-2000 he tried to go after the corrupt politicians, public officials and Lie-onel fired him.
To me that’s gives him a lot of credibility until proven otherwise. Plus he left the PLD Latrine as soon as it started to smell!
Are you saying he is the best of a bad lot???
No!
I truly believe he is a honest and noble man!
I don't subscribe to theory of the “Lesser of Two Evils” because you always wind up with EVIL of two lesser!
The real player here is the Cardinal, you need to find his selected ones beside Leonel.
in other words those immediate lieutenants of the cardinal.
Then your fighting your real enemy.
Perception,
Since 1492 we know that has been our fundamental enemy, well at least I believe that!
You don't expect US to serve justice without DR giving the evidence.
YOU GET THE EVIDENCE 8 THEN WE FRY THEM.
"FREEDOM ISN'T FREE BUT FOR IT'S WORTH FIGHTING"
Flash BREAKING NEWS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A Sunday Night Massacre!
“The decrees that created the DPCA are repealed”
SANTO DOMINGO.-The Attorney General of the Republic, Francisco Domínguez Brito, revealed that the decrees 322-97 that created the National Directorate of Prosecution of Administrative Corruption (DPCA) and 223-09 that appoints the director were repealed.
BICHO Castillo is going to have a coronary with what he will surely say is power grab by the Attorney General!
Read the rest:
Derogan decretos crearon el DPCA
almomento.net/articulo/129262/Derogan-decretos-crearon-el-DPCA
I cant understand why so many people vote for that group of thugs.
Miguel Vargas (La careta) and (wussy) Leonel Fernandez probably got together on this, to get rid of HIppopotamo.
That way the two of them can play politics with the country for the next 20 years.
Buying and selling the country to each other.
Open your eyes people, unite against Leonel cumming back for more, and against Vargas getting away with this.
I think Hipolito should go to the Partido Reformista, he has better chances over there.
Y los que nos gobienan no se quedan atras.
Es que no hay un tecer partido que haga desapareser al blanco y al morado?
El chapulin colorado????
Siganme los buenos !!!

"dready: You are not Dominican , you are not allow to have any comment , specially your negative ones over here! Go to jamaicantoday.com :)"
To which Dready responds
"victor, blow me. you are in no position to decide who can stay, and who goes. you own nothing but a welfare ID card. secondly, this is an english speaking site, which discusses Dominican issues. it is not a Dominican site. moron."
Dready, I think Victor was joking - he must be, surely?
Roy one on one more vote for the PRD than for the PLD its just the PLD uses TAX PAYER money to buy the rest of the votes they need from the so-called minor political parties!
zonyk157,
You are absolutely right, however since the PLD has the absolute control of all the branches of government they are the immediate clear and present danger to the Embryonic Dominican "democracy!"
I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT???.

A home run almost on a daily basis was great!!!
many times in the last few weeks major newspapers in new york read? alex rodriguez....... baseball officals have provided the dea with information???
in august oakland a's pitcher bartolo colon, who attracted scrutiny when he flew to the dr. with a doctor with a baca raton wellness doctor for a procedure not approved in the states, tested postive for testosterone, as did melky cabrera.manny ramirez two postive drug tests..... was linked to wellness clinics run by dr, pedro bosch and anthony bosch {father and son team}all above ball players above where connected to these dr's. and their wellness centers in the florida area.
skill and home runs and they should be put in the history books.??? man it was the drugs that hit the home runs not the players.
ok! maybe they where drunk when they went to bat.....

THANK U SIR.......
Human beings are selfish by nature, everywhere, however there is not the same moral decline as in this country. The factors you mentioned all have synergistic effects, but what is the root cause?
could it be the country is divided in too many ways???
You are absolutely right, Dready, but there are some very rare exceptions.
" too many people want a caretaker, a provider, a captain, a leader, and a provider."
Perhaps you should have included "a Hatian to do the hard or dirty work"?
It still begs the question, "why is it so?" The Catholic Church teaches that eternity in heaven comes not from good deeds, study or hard work, but from blind faith in Jesus and the church. The Evangelical Church teaches you don't even need wait till you die to have miracle cures and financial windfalls, however tithing is mandatory.
