FUE ASOMBROSA LA CAIDA DE SU LIDERAZGO

Dominican Republic. The PLD Political Committee dealt a low blow to Leonel Fernández on Sunday, April 19, 2015, in Juan Dolio. Many of his close supporters, former government officials, and members of the PLD Political Committee, who just a week earlier had supported him at the launch of his 2016 presidential pre-candidacy in a massive event at the sports palace, met the following week in Juan Dolio to support Danilo Medina's reelection bid. Twenty-three of the 35 members of the PLD Political Committee voted in favor of Medina's reelection, leaving Leonel Fernández isolated. This analysis by journalists Altagracia Salazar and Juan Bolívar Díaz aired on Sunday, May 31, 2015, on the program "Jornada Extra" on Tele Antillas, Channel 2.
