The former president of the Republic, Danilo Medina, when leading a massive swearing-in of new presidents of the Intermediate Committees of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), urged them to present the candidates for municipal and congressional elective positions in the 2024 elections.
“You have to work fast. They should already be looking for who are going to be the party’s candidates for trustee, aldermen, deputies and senators and what they have and believe they can win an internal contest that they start their work now, “said Medina.
Similarly, the president of the PLD urged the 984 new leaders of the Intermediate Committees to concentrate all their efforts on the October 16 Consultation to outline the presidential candidate who will represent that organization in the next presidential elections.
He announced that from the year 2023 when the PLD has resolved its candidacy, the ruling party will see the purple party “in the streets, alleys, fields and mountains of the country.”
“We only have one challenge, only one, that we do well on October 16. If we make that Consultation and we are well, I assure you that the partner who is elected, will be climbing the steps of the National Palace as the new president of the Dominican Republic, “he stressed.
Medina maintained that the presidential candidate and the municipal and congressional candidates who are elected in the Consultation will have the machinery of the Dominican Liberation Party behind them to achieve victory in the 2024 elections.
While the general secretary of the PLD, Charles Mariotti, attacked the ruling Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), assuring that his political organization will not take a step back in the face of the sieges that the current government has maintained for two years.
“The PLD has been besieged for two years, but without taking a step back; We are not going to go backwards, on the contrary, we will continue advancing with firm and determined steps”, emphasized the PLD general secretary.
He exhorted the new and old members of the PLD to work tirelessly, “without stopping in their final goal of returning to power to continue developing the work that characterizes the Purple Party.”
During the swearing-in ceremony, recognition was given to Euclides Gutiérrez Félix, a member of its Political Committee and one of the founders of that political organization.
Prior to this activity, the head of the PLD Youth Secretariat, Michael Matos, highlighted that 56 percent of the new members who have joined the Dominican Liberation Party are young people under 35 years of age.
He stressed that youth are going through a difficult situation because “currently there are more than 700 thousand young people who neither work nor study.”
They celebrate the birth of Juan Bosch
Yesterday, the Dominican Liberation Party carried out several commemorative acts in the framework of the celebration of the 113th anniversary of the birth of its historical leader, Professor Juan Bosch, which is the PLD Fellowship Day.
The acts began with the traditional offering “A Flower to the Professor”, in the Ornamental Cemetery of La Vega. While in the capital, the celebration began with the raising of the national and PLD flags, and a floral offering before the bust of Professor Juan Bosch at the National House of the PLD.
“Meet the lame man sitting and the blind man sleeping”
The president of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), Danilo Medina, said that the two years that this political organization has been in opposition is enough to know “the lame man sitting and the blind man sleeping.” “Don’t take anyone out of the game, everyone is useful, leave it there, but don’t be mortified because if a colleague isn’t working, just look at his face and don’t forget it,” he stressed.
