Rafael Alburquerque, Vice President and PLD presidential hopeful, spoke to the nation last night and warned his fellow PLD party members that there is a definite threat that the PRD will return to power.
"In view of the threat that the return of ineptness and disorder to power, I appeal to the conscience of each man and woman of the PLD to actively assume the defense of the nation. This is not a time to sit back and relax. The few who do so will have this weight on their conscience. It is time for action and participation," he concluded. His message was transmitted on several TV channels last night.
El Caribe speculates that the message was aimed at President Fernandez's followers who have said they would remain neutral in the run up to the primary and that they would only join the electoral campaign once the candidate is chosen. Alburquerque said that there was a need to defend the achievements of the PLD governments headed by Fernandez at all cost. "Only that way will we preserve Leonel's leadership in the PLD," he said.
"To sit back and relax would lead to defeat for the PLD in 2012. That is unacceptable." The presidential election is set for 20 May 2012.
Alburquerque said that if elected President he will expand health coverage to all citizens, strengthen social protection programs and stimulate job creation in the private sector.
He pledged to maintain macroeconomic stability, tackle crime and drug trafficking. He also said he would work to transform and modernize education in the country, a process he said the Fernandez government has started.
The primary is set for 26 June. The other PLD pre-candidates are Danilo Medina, Francisco Dominguez Brito, Radhames Segura, Franklin Almeyda and Jose Tomas Perez.
