The PRD's participation in the "Summit for National Unity" convened by President Leonel Fernandez and inaugurated yesterday, remains in limbo after the second postponement of the meeting where the party's political commission was scheduled to discuss the issue. Reporters from Diario Libre said that the reasons for the suspension swing between "heaven", trying to gain a consensus that defines the party's position on the summit, according to party president, and "hell" with accusations of political irresponsibility from the group led by former presidential candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado.
Ramon Alburquerque reassured reporters that the cancellation of the meeting came about due to a lack of "a consensus and harmony." In a radio interview he said, "We party leaders have the obligation to hold constructive meetings, when we see that there is no consensus on a sensitive issue, we postpone it as many times as necessary."
Listin Diario reports that Ivelisse Prats de Perez, representing the PRD, attended the alternative summit organized parallel to the government event.
