Diario Libre
SANTO DOMINGO. Former Secretary of the Presidency, journalist Rafael Nuñez, complained that political sectors are pushing forward a plan seeking the head of former President of the Republic President and president of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), Leonel Fernandez.
Nuñez, who works as a press assistant to Fernandez, said that regrettably the Attorney General of the Republic, Francisco Dominguez Brito is serving those sectors in order to damage the image of the former President.
"Attorney General Dominguez Brito has been persuaded by a group of journalist colleagues with whom he meets periodically, on the idea of before launching an eventual nomination bid, he should do it in grand style, which is to say leaving his post with a highly valued image for his actions," said the former official.
"And one way to leave highly appreciated by the public opinion is throwing all the power of the Justice Department against engineer Felix Bautista, a collaborator of Fernandez.
"Has a group of journalists which have advised him to go in that direction, some colleagues that have been on the other side of the PLD, that know the role they are playing because they are conscious that the objective is Fernandez."
Nuñez said that Dominguez Brito constantly receives advice from a group of journalists who are against the PLD, sectors whose only goal is to undermine the unity of the official party, so that they can repeat the history of other large parties.
He said that some journalists behind the scenes served the candidacy of Hipolito Mejia, passing along information and cooperating in order to defeat the PLD in the last elections.
"These people worked so that Danilo Medina would not be sworn in as the President of the Republic, but on this occasion they want to stop the man who holds the greatest electoral strength in the PLD, the one that has given five victories to the party and contributed to obtain a sixth in 2012," said Nuñez in a written statement sent to the editors of the Diario Libre.
"If the political sectors that are behind this campaign believe that we are going to step back from our strategic goals, they are making a mistake; we are going to go forward until Leonel Fernandez obtains the nomination and is sworn in as president in 2016," he said.
