PLD rejects Williams

[NewsWhore]

The PLD's Political Committee has rejected Senator Alejandro Williams' application for his candidacy for re-election in the 2010 senatorial campaigns. The decision was based on the fact that Williams had "betrayed the party". Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez explained that Williams' case required special attention because of its history. This has been the only public reprimand for Williams after it was revealed that the senator hardly ever attended Congressional sessions and instead spent most of his time working at his dental clinic in New York City. Once the story was leaked he was accused of hiring "goons" to intimidate the journalists who were covering the story. Neither the PLD nor the senate reprimanded Williams, who at the time appeared to have walked away from the scandal scot-free.
