PRD secretary general Orlando Jorge Mera is criticizing comments by Senate leader Reinaldo Pared Perez and Attorney General Radhames Jimenez about the Sun Land case, saying that their statements demonstrate that both are acting according to the wishes of President Leonel Fernandez. The PRD accuses the government of violating the Constitution by taking on a US$130 million debt on behalf of Sun Land without Congressional approval. Earlier this week Jimenez said that the Sun Land case was a pure political chess game, which Jorge Mera seconded, and said that in the highest parts of this government there is no real interest in finding out what really happened in the Sun Land case. Quoted in Listin Diario, Jorge Mera added that Perez's comments constitute a new manifestation of the serious institutional deterioration that has taken place during Leonel Fernandez's presidency. He added that that Pared has been disrespectful to the Constitution and to the democratic process. Presidential candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado reminded Pared Perez that the case is in fact in the Supreme Court. Using the case as political leverage, Vargas added that it was the PRD that presented the case documents to the Supreme Court and to the IMF.
