After weeks of planning by Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, a meeting that was to include top members of the country's main political parties, Nunez Collado himself and President Leonel Fernandez fell through, after the PRD delegation decided not to show up. PRD heads held a meeting at 11:00am yesterday to discuss whether to take part, and in the end they announced that they wanted an agenda for the meeting, and therefore at the last minute decided not to attend. Monsignor Nunez Collado relayed the information to President Fernandez who announced that he would be willing to have another go at a meeting once he returned from his trip to the United States. Ironically, Diario Libre is reporting that it was the PRD that had urged for the meeting to take place, and Senate leader Reinaldo Pared Perez said that it was in the PRD's best interest to have shown up. The meeting, which had been set for 5:30pm yesterday, was aimed at seeking a consensus on several political and economic issues.
