The former candidate for senator for the National District, Rafael Paz, reported his incorporation into the People’s Force as a member of the Political Directorate of that organization, where he has also been appointed to lead a new secretariat for digital transformation, civil society and the private sector.
Paz, along with his team, was sworn in at a ceremony at Funglode. after an activity that had been convened at the Embajador hotel was suspended. “We do this as a manifestation of solidarity and respect for the Castillo Semán family, with whom we have emotional ties that go back three generations, and especially with whoever was our adversary in the fight for the Senate of the National District in the 2020 elections, Vinicio Castillo Semán”, said the politician.
In that sense, he added that “However, as I am true to my word and promised society to define our political situation today, I inform that I have decided to accept Leonel Fernández’s proposal to join the People’s Force as a Member of its Political Directorate. Together with me, in a first stage, more than 500 members of our political team in the National District are incorporated”.
“The unity that we seal today is fundamentally programmatic in nature and is based on the mutual vocation to exercise politics on the basis of ideas and knowledge,” said Paz.
He added that the fundamental reason that led him to take this step is the firm conviction and common commitment “with President Fernández to promote knowledge and training as essential bases of political and citizen exercise.” Paz maintained that he has a shared vocation to promote a society of opportunities and rights where progress as a result of work, effort and the promotion of talent are the norm.
