A meeting between the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE) and PRD presidential candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado was a non-event as ANJE members failed to turn up to the meeting, forcing Vargas to leave and tend to other business. Hoy reports that Vargas showed up at the Hotel Jaragua at 8:10am for a scheduled 8am meeting. The candidate waited for two hours with no ANJE members in sight. Vargas made his way up to one of the hotel rooms and at one point returned to speak to reporters. After no word from ANJE reps, Vargas left. Hoy quotes Carolina Luna of ANJE, who said that the group would be present when President Leonel Fernandez is present. According to ANJE president Pablo Piantini Hazoury, the reason members didn't show was because of "traffic" problems. Piantini said that ANJE's board of directors was present and that about 60 ANJE members were there, but nonetheless apologized to Vargas. Vargas has accepted the explanation and apologies provided by ANJE.
