PLD deputies who support the election campaign of Danilo Medina returned to work today but on the condition that Medina supporters who have been fired because they support Medina's aspiration to be the PLD presidential candidate be reinstated to their posts. Alejandro Montas, spokesman for the PLD deputies that support Medina, said that the memo that was released prohibiting that persons be fired because they support Medina is a positive sign. Presidential hopeful Danilo Medina, speaking in Hoy newspaper, defended the deputies who abandoned the congressional session on Tuesday. He said that those who left had exercised a right to protest something they believed was wrong. Medina denies there is an internal conflict in the PLD and labeled that party as the most important in the DR. The situation stems from a heated debate that took place yesterday between PLD members, which led to 53 deputies leaving the Chamber of Deputies in protest. The ruling PLD party is majority in Congress.
