In his column today, Listin Diario political analyst Orlando Gil explains the reasoning behind chemical engineer Hector Rodriguez Pimentel's appointment to the strategic National Hydraulic Resources Institute (INDRHI). Rodriguez aspired to the PRSC presidential nomination, does not side with either PRSC candidate Amable Aristy, or the party's former presidential candidate Eduardo Estrella. "INDRHI is a corporation with offices all over the country, and now Rodriguez Pimentel will be able to serve Reformists who may decide to campaign and vote for President Fernandez's re-election and not for Amable Aristy's candidacy or Eduardo Estrella's political project.
