PLD consolidates its reorganization and strengthening

Santo Domingo. - The strength that the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) has historically exhibited, which has made it a resilient organization, lies in the strength it has in each demarcation of our territory and in the sections that operate abroad. The assertion is from Johnny Pujols, general secretary of the PLD, in the final words of a meeting organized by the Secretariat of Links and Internal Communication in which he reported on the progress in the implementation of the Organizational and Electoral Line and concluded with a panel on the current reality of the party and the actions to be taken. "We are making significant progress in 2025 and by 2026 we have to take advantage of the advantage of our organization, which no political grouping has, is that we are the only and true party of the Dominican Republic," said Pujols, eliciting applause from those present as a sign of acceptance of his words.
