Reynolds Parade and Jose Thomas Perez oppose increasing PLD political committee membership

Reynolds Parade Perez, general secretary of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), said this Saturday that increasing the membership of the political body would become a “dysfunctional organization”.

“I do not accept that the membership of the political committee of the PLD will be increased to 45, because I do not think it will function properly,” another member of the political committee posted on his Twitter account.

I do not accept the increase in the membership of the political committee @PLDenlinea For 45, I think it would be physically inactive.
