Azua Deputy Rafael Calderon, now a former PRD member, said he had expected to be kicked out of the PRD, adding that he had already drafted his letter of resignation, but hadn't submitted it because he was in Azua. He says the PRD wanted to add drama to the situation, which is why they announced his expulsion at their Tuesday meeting. Calderon told the press he doesn't have a patron or suffer from a slave complex, and says he doesn't have to take anything from anybody.
Today's El Caribe reports that Calderon is now being offered the senator seat for the ruling PLD party. Calderon was a close aide of former President Hipolito Mejia, now a dissident within the PRD under presidential candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado.
