PLD general secretary Reinaldo Pared Perez has confirmed that there will be a meeting with the PRD president and general secretary this afternoon in order to discuss the stalemate at the Central Electoral Board (JCE), which came about after Miguel Angel Garcia's resignation from the Computer Center. He attributed the situation that affects the JCE to the fact that the PRD candidate, Hipolito Mejia, "is trying the patience (of the PLD)." The meeting with Miguel Vargas Maldonado and Orlando Jorge Mera will be held through the mediation of Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez and Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, according to Pared Perez. The meeting between the PLD and the PRD delegations is set for 4pm, but Pared Perez did not disclose the location.
In order to resolve the crisis in the JCE Computer Center, the opposition PRD has set out several positions, a reflection of the internal divisions in the party. On the one hand, presidential candidate Hipolito Mejia has demanded, on several occasions, that Computer Center director Franklin Frias should be fired, and had cast doubt on the credibility of the tribunal. In the meantime, the PRD leadership, during two visits to the election entity has suggested stances that have been classified as contradictory.
In the first meeting with the judges of the JCE Plenary, an official commission headed by the general secretary and the interim PRD president, Orlando Jorge Mera and Andres Bautista, last 7 October, they warned that their party "will be alert and not close the file on the JCE IT Director's resignation until things are cleared up." Nonetheless, PRD president Miguel Vargas Maldonado and Jorge Mera, in another letter to Magistrate Roberto Rosario, dated 9 November, supported the consensus solution and a dialogue with the parties about the problem, in contrast with the position taken by Mejia, who is calling for Franklin Frias to resign as a solution to the conflict. Yesterday Mejia said that "this is on the way to a full recovery. I think that this week there will be a way out. At least I think so. A constructive dialogue is under way."
