Leaders of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) yesterday lamented the violence that occurred in different parts of the country during the electoral process to elect new congressional and municipal representatives.
The mayoral candidate for the National District PRD, Alfredo Pacheco, described as regrettable the events recorded mainly in Cambita, San Cristóbal, where he died on that party activist, Paula Andres Asencio, who received multiple gunshot wounds during an incident at the polling place located in Pedro Domínguez Grarabito school, where three others were injured .
"Except for minor situations, I have every confidence in the authorities of the Central Electoral Board," said Pacheco when he showed up to vote at the table 402 of the school Santa Martha, at Christ the King, just after 11:00 am. He said that during monitoring by each of the National District polling stations observed an atmosphere of democracy. After learning
of the facts, the LDP secretary general and candidate for reelection as senator for the National District, Reinaldo Pared Perez, urged the militants of his party to avoid the provocations of the PRD and flocked to exercise the right to vote, with the certainty that victory is sure of that organization and its allied forces.
She said that while in the electoral processes, there are always people who go in order to provoke and create problems, colleagues and supporters of the LDP should not be provoked and should remain calm.
Referring to the violence, the leader Danilo Medina PLD indicated that they occur because in this election is at stake six years in Congress and municipalities, and many people are reluctant to leave their posts and others seek him with great eagerness.
"Sometimes you do not have the wisdom enough to understand that this is a democratic process should be seen as a party and if you will win the popular support encouraged by the vote, but violence does not lead to a vote," he said.
The Senate candidate for the PRD and former Vice President Milagros Ortiz Bosch, said he voted convinced that the civic will strengthen the democratic system Dominican.
Meanwhile, former President Hipolito Mejia said he hoped the PRD out "reasonably well" at the congressional and municipal elections in the race yesterday, in order to strengthen democracy.
