Votes for sale

Totally unexpected news from within the PRD that has caught us by surprise and off guard. They're having internal elections. A bit like what's going on in the US, but here they keep everything under the hood. Why? Well, because nobody needs to stick his nose into how these things are done in the Democratic Revolutionary Party.

Or, in other words, allegations of vote buying are flying back and forth. Balabina may rank high in national polls, but she hasn't won any of the mini-congresses the PRD is organizing all over the country. A candidate who came to Chiriqui with a 30 vote advance left having lost by 27 votes.

And now the vice-president of this political pawn shop, Luis Navas, is making public statements about it! How totally un-PRDish! Must be Chavez paying him. There's also talk about a government police patrol boat flying a PRD flag in Kuna Yala. Chavez again.
