SANTO DOMINGO.- The deputy Alejandro Montas said the hypocrisy that lets "miniature parties" receive taxpayers money and maintain their presence by practicing a type of political parasitism in electoral periods must end.

In a letter sent to newspaper Diario Libre, the lawmaker said he doesn’t propose to limit the initiative which create political organizations, rather to detain the parasitism of organizations which after having received their birth certificate, don’t earn the population’s approval.

Montas said the Electoral Law should be strictly applied and that the legislation for the Law of Political Parties pending debate in the Chamber of Deputies should be more severe as to the causes to repeal a party’s legal function, something he said is much needed for the good of democracy that everyone is committed to defend.

The spokesman of the ruling PLD party deputies said to remain as such the political parties should get, alone or as allies, at least 2 percent of the valid votes cast, win some congresual or municipal representation or 2 percent of the valid votes at the national level.
