Gonzalo Castillo leadership scrutiny in PLD

Overview

Internal tensions have emerged within the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) regarding Gonzalo Castillo’s presidential candidacy. Initially, the party’s Aspirants Commission (CONAP) questioned Castillo’s commitment after he missed a meeting intended to coordinate internal processes. This scrutiny was compounded by skepticism from PLD members in New York, who cited his previous political withdrawals and departures from party committees.

However, Castillo has since sought to consolidate support, recently holding a gathering in San Francisco de Macorís where hundreds of members demonstrated for his candidacy. During this event, Castillo pledged to revive social programs and infrastructure projects from previous PLD administrations. Despite this show of support, tensions remain high within the party, exacerbated by statements from fellow presidential aspirant Francisco Javier García.
