Opposition candidate displays the pugnacity he lacked throughout campaign

Santo Domingo.- In the post-election stage, opposition presidential candidate Luis Abinader moves and acts with a high spirit of aggression and the political pugnacity he did not adopt throughout the election campaign, elnuevodiario.com.do reported.

With an unfavorable electoral count of 61.76% against 34.99% (according to the Central Electoral Board’s Bulletin 10), the presidential candidate of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) and Social Christian Reformist Party (PRSC) now takes a much more fierce and feisty attitude, which could not be seen in his career as a leader.

Several sectors of the country have praised Abinader as a young expression that is emerging amid a lagging leadership that has historically dominated the national political scene, and particularly the internal leadership of the parties.

On the other hand, other sectors are questioning the PRM-PRSC presidential candidate’s lack of sharpness and hardness in speech and actions, and wonder why he preferred to adopt a measured and restrained temper, elnuevodiario.com.do published.
