Hatuey: "I have never left the PRD"

SANTO DOMINGO. The president of the Social Democrat Revolutionary Party (PRSD), Hatuey De Camps, said yesterday that he has never left the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) and is willing to contribute to the unity of the party.
Interviewed by telephone, De Camps said that when there is an official proposal for him to take on the presidency of the PRD, he will address the issue, but he made it clear that he would not talk about speculations that nobody has put forward.
"I am a defender of the original principles of the PRD and let it be said that I have never left the PRD, I did the same thing that Jose Francisco Peña Gomez did when he founded, while the president of the PRD, he founded the BIS (Bloque Institucional Socialista) and Jacobo founded the PRI," he said.
He met with Hipolito
De Camps said that he met with former President Hipolito Mejia on the same day he met with the PRD president, Miguel Vargas, but some two hours later.
"It was a good meeting with Miguelito, afterwards I met two hours later with Hipolito Mejia, they were good meetings," he said.
DeCamps lunched with Vargas on 31 May in a restaurant.
He recalled that when he founded the PRSD he did it to preserve the principles for which he had fought, like Peña Gomez and former President Juan Bosch had done.
"I am not an obstacle, with pleasure I would contribute, for this I have met with Hipolito and I have met with Miguel in order to contribute to this unity," he stressed.
He said he felt that Vargas and Mejia are willing to achieve the unity and get out of the crisis which is affecting the PRD, but he estimated that what is missing a lot of times is the willingness to reach this unity.
"I thing that there is a willingness, at times what is lost is the will, and in addition they are obliged to reach an agreement, an agreement that is a pact, and afterwards those that are not in agreement, well they can say so and they can submit it to an open vote," he underlined.
De Camps estimated that if both leaders do not reach an agreement, they will allow the PLD to continue "taking over and doing all of their mischief which they have definitely been doing, far away and divorced from the original suggestions of the Bosch principles."
