That limits the parties’ ability to prevent questioned individuals from becoming candidates.\n\nIn that sense, Pacheco considered it necessary to equip the Party Law and the electoral regime with stronger mechanisms to exclude candidates suspected of links to illicit activities.\n\n“Parties must have sufficient claws to make preventive decisions in these cases,”<\/strong> he emphasized.\n\nWhat has happened in recent weeks within the PRM has generated serious concerns among the citizenry, acknowledged the president of that organization, Jos\u00e9 Ignacio Paliza. He affirmed that the cases linked to drug trafficking have rekindled in many Dominican homes the usual doubts and the feeling that certain sectors seek to protect themselves under the shadow of impunity, a situation that he assured causes him deep indignation.\n\nIn that context, Paliza made a forceful call: he urged all politicians related to drug trafficking networks to surrender to the authorities, regardless of the party they belong to, including the organization he himself leads. He maintained that the fight against organized crime admits no exceptions and that the political system must be kept out of the reach of those illicit interests.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
