Amable's circus

[NewsWhore]

Amable Aristy Castro was finally sworn in as senator for the province of La Altagracia yesterday, and before the ink could dry on the newspaper articles reporting the act, he immediately resigned his post. Castro pointed out that the country's Constitution does not oblige a Senator to be sworn in to office, and that although the Senate's own constitution says that elected senators have a 90-day period for swearing in, that constitution is not above the country's. Castro said that the PRSC, which has one month to do so, will present a list of three possible candidates to replace him. German Castro Garcia, who according to Hoy newspaper is Castro's cousin, currently tops the list. German also replaced Castro the last time he was elected and resigned the post. This is the third time Castro has been elected as Senator for La Altagracia, and then promptly resigned in order to continue as head of the Dominican Municipal League.
