Hipolito Mejia: Withdrawal of Political Parties Law disrespects democracy

Santo Domingo.– Former Dominican president and Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) president, Hipolito Mejia, said the withdrawal of the Political Parties Law, approved in the Chamber of Deputies in a first roll call, is a disrespect for democracy.

Mejía also called "undesireable brainless" (azaroso sin cerebro) to PLD deputies spokesman Ruben Maldonado and blamed him for not approving the failed legislation.

After warning that he is aware of what can happen with this legislation, the PRM president said he is deeply concerned about the upcoming elections.
