Abinader: There will be exemplary competition, but never division
SANTO DOMINGO. The aspiring presidential candidate for the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Luis Abinader, launched his campaign to secure the nomination yesterday, with an act in which he guaranteed that in spite of the competition there would be no division.

He indicated that the commitment is to not permit the errors of the past which have distanced them from the people and the voters. He said that in the next nomination convention "they have to take the nail out, without splitting the wood," in an illusion to a phrase by José Francisco Peña Gomez.

"Our leadership in the PRM will be the guarantee for both internal and external democracy, in the search for a consensus, and in civilized coexistence, and for this we definitely reject the diatribes and sterile arguments, the antidemocratic and impersonal actions," he said.

Abinader criticized the fact that Dominican society and economy have created wealth, but at the same time they have denied the majority of the people the opportunity to access a dignified life. He said that he doesn't have a magic wand to resolve all the problems of the country, but he does have the knowledge and the decision to search for and receive the best men and women to govern together. The PRM leader spoke before hundreds of followers that came together in the Volleyball Pavilion at the Olympic Center, among them his wife, his father, José Rafael Abinader and a delegation of 11 deputies from the PRM bloc in the Chamber of Deputies.

Among those that spoke were Vicente Sanchez Baret and deputy José Ignacio Paliza, who was wildly applauded when he said that "when the flock comes together, the lion goes hungry."

Representation

A delegation represented Hipolito Mejia, among them where his son Ramon Hipolito Mejia, Cesar Cedeño, Jesus Feris Iglesias, Sergio Grullon, Miguel Ceara Hatton and former officials of his administration.

Milagros Ortiz Bosch sent a letter excusing her presence, while Orlando Jorge Mera expressed his backing of Abinader.
