Presidential campaign funding mystery

[NewsWhore]

The source of the PLD's pre-presidential campaign funding is a mystery, or at least a secret. The Central Electoral Board (JCE) admits that it has the figures for the campaigns but say that these are "still being studied". Diario Libre writes that the public has only been made aware that in the first month after the PLD's internal pre-candidacy process began, President Leonel Fernandez spent RD$25 million, Danilo Medina spent RD$18 million, and Jose Tomas Perez spent RD$11 million. JCE Administrative Chamber head Roberto Rosario said that he doesn't have the exact figures for the three PLD presidential pre-candidates' budgets. Diario Libre also points out that when the PRSC and the PRD presented their pre-presidential candidates to the JCE, their campaign budgets were announced immediately.
