Despite attempts by the PRSC leadership to try and smooth things over after clashes during the Executive Commission meeting, the situation has turned to "bright red" inside the organization, as reported in Diario Libre.
Yesterday, presidential pre-candidate Amable Aristy Castro announced that he was examining the possibility of convening 33% of the Executive Commission membership with the aim of annulling the results of last Sunday's meeting, where it was decided to choose the party's presidential candidate in an Assembly of Delegates instead of a party convention.
"It is not about what is convenient for a group of 100 or so employees of the Ministry of Foreign Relations. There were 353 (employees), they removed 129 during the voting, but they did not want to submit themselves to a close examination as we suggested, so that the notary lawyers could confirm the real members of the Executive Commission, but they were afraid, too," stressed Aristy Castro as he explained why he had left the meeting. He insisted that the majority of the people who were registered as members of the Political Commission are employees of the Ministry of Foreign Relations and of the National Housing Bank (BNV).
Meanwhile, acting president Joaquin Ricardo said he was confident of a quick solution to the situation, while at the same time assuring that there was no possibility of holding primaries in the PRSC. "They haven't even selected the people who would staff the voting stations and other organisms, and there is no time for that," said Ricardo.
