Ruling party divided over Parlacen swearing-in of ex-cons
In addition to how revealing it is to see the children of a former president seek the immunity granted by being a member of the Central American Parliament (Parlacen), the division that reigns in the ruling party, PRD, is also eloquent. For example, this matter has shown that there are two groups in the “united” ruling party: one that answers to the president of the collective – who has not missed the Parlacen sessions to make the regulatory quorum so that the children of the former president can be sworn in– and another that responds to the vice president and presidential candidate of the PRD, whose members have not attended the frustrated sessions of the parliamentary body, precisely to avoid the swearing-in of the ex-convicts and confessed to conspiracy to launder money. Such unity is only a mirage because the reality is that it is a very divided party, whose leadership is disconnected from justice, at least one of the factions. That should make us think about the alliances that the PRD is building. Is it with the RM party? Both sides deny this, but the facts say otherwise: at least one party is actively helping the RM leader. And that is as evident as it is undeniable.— LA PRENSA, Aug. 14.
