Diario Libre and PUC MM will analyze today the challenges for the Law of Parties
SANTO DOMINGO. The approval of the Law of Parties continues being one of the principle worries of sectors of the country that understand that they should begin regulating now the electoral campaigns in the administration of funds to the political parties.

Today, the Diario Libre newspaper and the Pontifical Catholic University Madre y Maestra (PUC MM) will hold a panel with the objective of analyzing the advances and challenges for the approval of the Law of Parties and Political Groups which has been now waiting for 16 years in the National Congress.

The panel is set to begin at 5:00 p.m. in the AO-3 Hall of the St. Thomas Aquinas campus of the PUC MM, and it was announced that the key speakers would be Deputy Henry Meran, the chairman of the Joint Commission that is studying the legislation for the Law of Parties, and the executive vice president of the Institutionalism and Justice Foundation (Finjus), Servio Tulio Castaños Guzmán.

The rector of the PUC MM, Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, and the director of the Diario Libre, Adriano Miguel Tejada, said "that there are many questions in Dominican society regarding the scope of this law and its role in the institutionalization of the political life of the country."

They explained that, once the speakers have finished, there will be a debate with the participation of invited political leaders and jurists.

They each agreed that the panel is pertinent at this time during which an election period Is approaching, one which will imply the election of officials at all levels of the Dominican State.

The legislative project for the Law of Parties has also moved the emerging parties to make sure that their positions are not left out.

Recently the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), in the voice of the former Vice President Rafael Alburquerque, who coordinated the proposals of this party in reference to the project, accused sectors of the civil society of wanting of law at their whim and in order to benefit political sectors. However the Finjus answered the PLD accusing the parties of not wanting to be regulated.
