Santo Domingo.- Ex president Hipolito Mejía on Monday challenged his colleague Miguel Vargas, president of Dominican Republic’s opposition PRD party, to clarify money laundering convict Sobeida Felix’s allegation that the latter received at least US$300,000 from her paramour, Puerto Rican kingpin Jose Figueroa Agosto.

Mejia said he doesn’t believe that candidates are unaware of the source of campaign contributions, referring to Vargas’ denial of links with Figueroa.

"I’ve never had dealings or ties with Mr. Figueroa Agosto, name which then hadn’t been identified by authorities in illegal activities," Vargas said in a statement yesterday.

Mejia’s statement upon arrival at the José Francisco Peña Gómez Institute will stoke the months-long showdown with Vargas for control of the PRD, in the wake of the opposition party’s defeat in last year’s presidential election, when Mejia was its candidate.

This high stakes burro is throwing stones from his glass house, so they will boomerang and hit back his bald head.
There is a big "I am with stupid" sign with an arrow pointing to Hipoloco El Burro and "captain" Quirino, that is still waiting to be clarified. Mr. Hipoloco El Burro, would you mind telling us about it?

Generoso and Vic,

Interesting that Josea has been sooooooooooooo out of touch these last few days AFTER THIS STORY BROKE.

I wonder if there's a correlation? Dready, can you help us out here?


Generoso,

What do you think about a part of the PRD membership abandoning ship and going over to the PLD?

If this were to happen, a Super Majority Party will have advanced in DR.


Josea is having a BERRY bad few days guys.
