We will continue to govern for the people and for that reason, I say to all pre-candidates and their coordinators: proselytizing acts for officials are not allowed. If they want to campaign, they must leave their positions,&#8221; the head of state warned then.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.&#8211; The deputy of the Fuerza del Pueblo, Carlos De P\u00e9rez, harshly questioned the call of the president of the Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM), Ignacio Paliza, for officials who aspire to the presidential candidacy of that organization to set a date for their resignation and dedicate themselves to their political projects. \u201cThat&#8217;s a bread [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":483385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[40216],"tags":[40471],"class_list":["post-483384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dominican-news","tag-member-of-parliament"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phj1q1-21Kw","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-18-at-2.58.01-PM.jpeg","dum_api":{"author_name":"Elsa Cesilia Feliz","author_image":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/cropped-elsa-cesilia-96x96.jpg","categories_name":["Dominican News"],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cdn.deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-18-at-2.58.01-PM.jpeg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/78"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
