The Minister of Tourism aspires to obtain the nomination of the ruling party for the 2028 elections, in an internal process in which different figures from the party have expressed interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We recommend reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/nacionales\/micm-y-procine-impulsan-alianza\/\">MICM and PROCINE promote alliance to strengthen the Dominican audiovisual industry<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanz Lovat\u00f3n had also developed his own presidential aspirations, so his decision to support Collado represents the integration of two political structures that until recently were promoting separate projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDefending Luis to win with David\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the source consulted by De \u00daltimo Minuto, during the meeting Sanz Lovat\u00f3n gave his team a clear political line: to support President Luis Abinader and, at the same time, work for Collado to obtain the PRM presidential candidacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDefend Luis to win with David\u201d was the slogan conveyed by Yayo during the meeting, according to the source who was present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the leaders present from the Sanz Lovat\u00f3n structure were Ignacio Aracena, Tammy Col\u00f3n, Dilenia Santos, Miguel Arredondo, Miguel Boga, Adalgisa Abreu, Dio Astacio, Franklin Romero, Rafael Duluc \u201cCholit\u00edn\u201d, Augusto Vel\u00e1zquez, Pedro Catrain, and Gloria Reyes, recently elected national Organization secretary of the PRM, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participating for Collado&#8217;s team were the Minister of Sports, Kelvin Cruz; deputy An\u00edbal D\u00edaz; Jos\u00e9 Leonel \u201cNeney\u201d Cabrera; Stalin Alc\u00e1ntara and V\u00edctor Pichardo, among other leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two structures join forces for 2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move consolidates the political rapprochement that Sanz Lovat\u00f3n and Collado had been developing over the last few weeks and which became more evident during the process of renewing the internal authorities of the PRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the decision communicated during the meeting, the political structure led by Sanz Lovat\u00f3n now backs Collado&#8217;s aspirations, altering the internal landscape of the ruling party ahead of the future selection of its presidential candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting took place immediately after the PRM&#8217;s leadership renewal process and at a time when the different factions are beginning to define alliances and strategies with an eye on the 2028 presidential elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.- Eduardo \u201cYayo\u201d Sanz Lovat\u00f3n decided to support the presidential aspirations of David Collado, leaving behind his own project to seek the presidential nomination of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) and adding his political structure to the current Minister of Tourism&#8217;s project.
