Letter to Johnny Pujols
By: Charles Mariotti
Today, at the end of the period in which I assumed the General Secretariat of the Dominican Liberation Party, I hand it over to my colleague Jhonny Pujols, with the peace of mind of knowing that I am leaving it in good hands.
I want to remember, and everyone has witnessed it, that I had to be Secretary General in one of the most difficult stages that the Dominican Liberation Party has gone through.
However, those turbulences never daunted me, because the trust in my companions encouraged me not to faint; The great legacy left by our party to the Dominican people, in their government efforts, raised my morale; and faith in the future of our country, constantly inspired me.
My dearest and appreciated Jhonny, Dominican society is becoming more demanding every day and increasing its quality standards regarding the role of institutions, especially political parties. For this reason, to the extent that we continue to show the strengthening of the PLD, confidence in us will increase and the population will value us as the party of the best governments. In this sense, I want you to know that you will never be alone, that, regardless of the intensity of possible turbulence, you will have your companions. As for me, rest assured that I will be your eternal flight attendant.
I only make one request: navigate, walk and fly with a sense of body so that everyone feels included, promoting unity and party cohesion. Let us be an open-door party, closely linked to the people, in their demands and dreams.
The PLD has this great responsibility before Dominican society, and I am sure that we will assume it successfully.
