PRD presidential candidate Hipolito Mejia's warning that he would confront corruption if he wins the presidency in 2012 was answered yesterday by administration officials who said that he was not morally qualified to do this. The official reaction came from Presidency Minister Cesar Pina Toribio and Vice President, Rafael Alburquerque. In addition, the presidential candidate for the Alianza Pais Party, Guillermo Moreno, does not believe in his promises.
Pina Toribio told Diario Libre that the former President does not have the moral fiber to address corruption. "But this is a debate that we are going to leave for when the real campaign begins; there will be a lot of things with which to answer Mejia and others that will remind the country of his administration. Just the case of Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo should be sufficient to shut him up". Using irony, the official said that he was surprised with the "transformation" that Hipolito Mejia had undergone over the last eight years.
Alburquerque, who is also a pre-presidential candidate for the PLD, disqualified the former President from attacking corruption, saying that he (Mejia) should first submit the officials of his administration who committed alleged acts of corruption to justice.
Guillermo Moreno said that it would need more than words to make his promises believable, such as is the case of pursuing the corrupt and investing 4% of the GDP in education.
