Re-election supporters at public functions

[NewsWhore]

Several groups calling for President Leonel Fernandez to be re-elected attended a public function in Manoguayabo. The groups' requests were described as "spontaneous" by Presidential Press Director Rafael Nunez, who claimed that neither the government nor the President had anything to do with them. When Fernandez arrived at 5:50pm, an uncontrollable crowd started chanting the slogan "Leonel, four more years and then we talk". PLD Secretary General Reinaldo Pared Perez and Presidential Minister Danilo Medina both stated that the party directorate had not had any official discussions about their relations with the pro re-election demonstrations that have been taking place at public functions led by the President. Medina also explained that he had not resigned from his position in the Cabinet, and assured that his only political plans are within the PLD. Chamber of Deputies leader Julio Cesar Valentin said that both Fernandez and Medina are aware that groups unrelated to the PLD want to create confrontations between the party leaders. Pared Perez also reiterated that the demonstrations in support of Fernandez's re-election are spontaneous and have nothing to do with any influence or directive from within the party.
