PLD discusses reform

[NewsWhore]

The PLD Political Committee has approved the proposed constitutional reform that President Leonel Fernandez will introduce to Congress on 16 August. According to Listin Diario, the Committee leaves it up to President Fernandez to decide whether to change the Constitution so that he can run for President again. PLD Secretary General and Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez says that the PLD is against indefinite re-election. Pared explained that the party agrees with the status quo. The Constitution only allows for one consecutive re-election. There have been calls by the public and private sector for the current administration to postpone submitting the constitutional reform and focus all energies on pressing economic and social problems instead.
