A summit meeting between the DR's main opposition parties yesterday ended in a joint call for the current administration to adhere to the 2008 National Budget and to cease political patronage payments. The party leaders also asked for any fiscal exemptions to be submitted to Congress for review. The four participating parties also called for all promotional messages in favor of President Leonel Fernandez's bid for reelection to be removed from institutional government advertising. The parties asked for an audit on how PLD and re-election advertising is being paid for.
The PRD, PRSC, PRI and AP presidential and vice presidential candidates attended the meeting, and also called for civil society groups to contribute to the process of naming the government officials who have been responsible for alleged misuse of public funds.
PRD candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado, PRSC candidate Amable Aristy Castro, PRI candidate Trajano Santana and AP candidate Pedro de Jesus Candelier signed the joint declaration.
