Armed Forces Minster Lt. General Ramon Antonio Aquino Garcia is warning all active military officials that they will be penalized for participating in politics, and could be relieved of their military ranks and duties. Aquino issued this warning to all branches of the Armed Forces. Aquino said that the Armed Forces are taking measures to ensure that military officials don't betray their duties in favor of the political process. Aquino's warning comes after the PRD made accusations that military officials were involved in PLD political campaigning. In response, Central Electoral Board (JCE) president Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman has asked the PRD to provide proof, and is quoted in Hoy as saying that such accusations are a cause for concern among the Dominican public. Castanos said that he has been in touch with leading military officials and that apart from helping to keep order; he has no knowledge of military officials taking part in political campaigning.
