Santo Domingo. \u2013<\/strong> The president of the People’s Force (Fuerza del Pueblo) and former president of the Republic, Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez, assured this Friday that the growth of that political organization is due to the fact that it has known<\/a> how to interpret the aspirations of the Dominican people, while leading the inauguration ceremony of the Citizen Convergence House, the new headquarters of the platform that brings together social, community, professional, and citizen movements that support his leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa Fuerza del Pueblo is interpreting what the dreams and aspirations of the Dominican people are, and that is allowing a greater number of citizens to join our organization,\u201d stated Fern\u00e1ndez during his keynote speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former president maintained that Citizen Convergence is born to integrate thousands of Dominicans who sympathize with his political project, but who for various reasons prefer not to be part of a partisan organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Manolo Pichardo used to say, for different work-related reasons, there are people who do not want to be organized in political parties; that is what movements are for, and that is why Convergencia Ciudadana emerged,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the activity, Fern\u00e1ndez formally inaugurated the Citizen Convergence House, located at 153 Lea de Castro Street, Gazcue sector, National District, in an event that brought together political leaders, representatives of social movements, business people, and community leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inauguration marked the beginning of a new stage of organization and coordination for the movements that make up Citizen Convergence, conceived as a permanent space for dialogue, planning, and joint work among the different sectors that support this initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general secretary of Convergencia Ciudadana, Elena Mej\u00eda, officially presented the first movements that make up the platform and stated: \u201cToday I present to you the raw material of Convergencia, which are its movements\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her speech, Elena Mej\u00eda introduced the Caminemos con Leonel movement, represented by Carlos S\u00e1nchez; Ven Conmigo, represented by Ricky Rodr\u00edguez; Cin\u00e9filos, led by Mario Hidalgo; and Rep\u00fablica Fuerte, represented by Dr. Elisa Guzm\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, he presented Nueva Fuerza Obrera, whose representative is Ram\u00f3n Mosquea; Respaldo Ciudadano, represented by Jes\u00fas Miguel Garc\u00eda; Hombres y Mujeres con Leonel, represented by Rebeca Ortiz; and Voy Seguro, headed by Magdaleno Buret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, the movements Youth in Action, represented by Julio Collado; The Lion Returns, by Gregory Marte; The Lion’s Pack, by Valentino Di\u00e9guez; and More Leonel, represented by Ram\u00f3n Morales, who was absent during the activity, were presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also presented were the MIDE movement, represented by C\u00e9sar Mota; El Regreso de Leonel, led by Jos\u00e9 Di\u00e9guez; Convergencia de la Fe, represented by Xiomara Rodr\u00edguez; Las Cayenas, by Patria P\u00e9rez; and Pluma Verde, by Manuel Nova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his words, the president of Convergencia Ciudadana, Manolo Pichardo, stated that the organization emerges as a response to the sentiment of broad sectors of Dominican society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConvergencia Ciudadana was not born in an office, it is not an artificial intelligence project; Convergencia was born from the frustration that the Dominican people feel today,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pichardo further explained that the purpose of the platform is to expand the reach of the political project led by Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez toward sectors that traditionally do not participate in party organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe task of the Convergence is to reach where the People’s Force (Fuerza del Pueblo) does not reach, nor its allied parties, because there are people who do not want to be in a political party, but do support the leadership of Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, artistic and audiovisual expressions were also presented that highlighted the platform’s objectives, before Fern\u00e1ndez, Pichardo, and Mej\u00eda performed the ribbon-cutting that formally inaugurated the Citizen Convergence House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
