In past political contexts, Sergia Elena Mejía de Séliman, high leader of the Christian Social Reform Party (PRSC), and today vice president of Leonel Fernández, presidential candidate of the People’s Force, was a systematic attacker of his current ballot companion.
From accusation of purchase of aldermen to support criticisms made by Hipólito Mejía (at that time a candidate for the Dominican Revolutionary Party) against the accountability of Leonel in 2012, when he was president of the Republic and the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) .
Here are some of his statements in previous political processes, in which he faced former president Leonel Fernández, who is now the presidential candidate of the Christian Social Reform Party (PRSC) and five other parties, including Force of the People, a newly created party and presiding .
2006
In July 2006, while Sergia Elena served as the organization secretary of the PRSC, he accused the PLD leaders of leading a day to buy opposition councilors to achieve a majority that allows the government to control the Dominican Municipal League (LMD).
Specifically, he urged President Leonel Fernández to depose the alleged purchase of aldermen because, he said, he was hurting the political party system and the country.
In a timely manner, Sergia Elena accused the then secretaries of the Presidency, Danilo Medina, and Industry and Commerce, of directing the operation to buy aldermen, at the mandate of also then President Leonel Fernández.
In addition, on another occasion, he complained that the government of Leonel Fernández did not punish the corrupt and gave as examples of evidence “the corruption scandals of the Electronic Government, the loan contract for the technification of the Police, the Island Artificial that would be built in front of the Malecon and the privatization of Real Nations, “according to a review of the era of newspaper today.

In those elections, reformism presented Amable Aristy Castro as a candidate.

By January 2008, Sergia Elena accused Fernández and his then Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) of a series of “negative actions” that he believed at that time was adopted by the Central Electoral Board against the Fourth Way, of who served as spokeswoman and the National Veterans and Civil Party (PNVC).
Sergia Elena Mejía blamed Leonel for the alleged reprimand of the JCE Administrative Chamber against the PNVC, and that it was the result of this party refusing to take President Fernández on his ballot as a presidential candidate for the next 2008 elections, where the Presidency was repostulated for the third time, so it considered that the PLD does not accept being told “no”.
2012
By February 2012, the then presidential candidate of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD), Hipólito Mejía, accused the then president Leonel Fernández of failing to comply with the constitutional mandate in his speech on February 27, because in his opinion he did not surrender to the National Assembly the report of his last year of government management.
Mejía considered that what Fernández did was “ramble on an unreal world” and that he was clashing “with the trees of the stratosphere,” backed position Sergia Elena de Séliman, who at that time supported Hipólito through the “Balagueristas con Papá” movement “

I reaffirm my commitment to my Party. A STEP OF WINNERS … E ‘PA OUT OF GO! “, He wrote last night, when he was announced as Fernández’s ballot companion.
Sergia Elena was not present in the official announcement of the Force of the People and Christian Social Reform parties. Leonel Fernández excused her by saying that she was in Miami, where a grandson was born.
“Trained, hardworking and loyal. @SergiaElena far exceeds the conditions to accompany us on this path whose main objective is to recover the direction of our country. Welcome to #CaminoSeguro, vice president, ”Fernández posted on his Twitter account on Tuesday, after announcing his ballot companion for the May 2020 presidential elections.
