COPPPAL meeting opens work sessions
Leaders of the PLD and the PRD take part
SANTO DOMINGO. The XXVIII Plenary Meeting of the Permanent Conference of Latin American and Caribbean Political Parties (COPPPAL) got underway this weekend. High level leaders of the PLD and the PRD are taking part.
In the opening ceremony, PRD president Miguel Vargas Maldonado reiterated the belief that the best way to reform the Constitutions is through a Constitutional Assembly.
In this vein, he referred to the fact that he signed an agreement with President Leonel Fernandez because it was worse to be cut off than to participate with coherence and pro-active capacity in a real reform. As a positive result of the pact he cited the elimination of consecutive reelection.
Meanwhile, the secretary general of the PLD, Reinaldo Pared Perez, emphasized the role played by the COPPPAL in overseeing democracy in Latin America and highlighted the agreements reached between his organization and the PRD that have sponsored the reform of the Constitution within a context of total and complete democracy.
He also highlighted the fact that the parties that make up the COPPPAL should take on a firm and determined commitment to reach a greater economic, social, and territorial cohesion that allows an improvement of the regional development indicators.
Approval of PRSD membership
In yesterday's session, the COPPPAL assembly unanimously approved the entry of the Social Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRSD) as a member of the organization.
Hatuey De Camps said he appreciated the decision of the full session because he had requested admission two years ago. The PRSD became the third Dominican party to join the COPPPAL.
Politicians love the big causes
The president of COPPPAL, Antonio Cafiero, underlined the fact that politics is man's "most noble" profession and is not marked by any personal or group interest, but rather because "they have love" and they love the great causes. He said that politicians make up a "different race" and are made for the struggle. "In my country there has appeared a number of "politicians" that aspire to the highest positions with have made a career of politics and we tell them that if they want to get into politics making use of the fortune made in other areas of their life, this won't make it."
