President Leonel Fernandez met with PLD presidential candidate Danilo Medina and PRSC leaders, Carlos Morales Troncoso and Federico Antun Batlle last night, in order to deal with "issues of a political nature," as reported in Diario Libre. Both are high officials in the Fernandez administration. Morales Troncoso is Minister of Foreign Relations and Antun Batlle is general manager of the governmental Banco Nacional de Fomento a la Vivienda y la Construccion.
The meeting was held in the Diandy XVIII building, located on the extension of Mexico Avenue in the Esperilla sector of the National District.
Medina said that it was a political working meeting in which they discussed the process in previous elections and those that are coming up, with reference to the election campaign and looking at next year's electoral process.
The meeting, which began at 9pm and ended at 10:40pm, took place behind closed doors. It ended when Medina withdrew and gave some brief statements to reporters. The PLD presidential candidate denied that the issue of the vice-presidential candidate was on the agenda.
What did attract the attention of the press that waited in the area was that both Morales Troncoso as well as Antun Batlle, unlike Medina, tried to leave the building without being seen by reporters. They managed to do this just after 11pm when they mounted an operation with the help of the President's security detail and left at high speed in their big SUVs.
The President left the site at 10:50pm and greeted the reporters who were there awaiting of the departure of the Reformist leaders. The meeting between Fernandez, Medina and Antun Batlle comes a few days before the Assembly of Delegates that was convened by the PRSC for next Friday, for the election of their presidential candidate.
