Campaigning has turned dirty only days before presidential pre-candidates Miguel Vargas Maldonado and Milagros Ortiz Bosch square off in the PRD convention. Ortiz Bosch says that Vargas is running a dirty campaign by spreading rumors that she will not be running for the party's ticket on Sunday. Ortiz Bosch says that rumors that she would be pulling out of the convention are false and believes that they were started by members of Vargas's campaign committee and radio and TV commentators who work for Vargas. Ortiz says she has received phone calls at home asking her why she would not be running. Ortiz claims that Vargas's actions are a desperate attempt to discredit her and a way of hiding the fact that the party will choose her as their presidential candidate. She says that if anyone should remove themselves from the convention it should be Vargas. In response, Vargas says that he is guaranteed to win on Sunday and says that Ortiz's claims are "the screams of a person who feels they have lost". Vargas says that he does not need to spread any such rumors, considering that preliminary polls, according to him, have him ahead 87% to 11%.
