Hipólito defends the selection of Garrigó Mejía as general secretary of the PRM

Former President of the Dominican Republic Hipólito Mejía publicly defended the selection of his grandson, Juan Garrigó Mejía, as the new secretary general of the Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) this past Sunday. The appointment has drawn attention due to the familial connection between the former president and the new party official.

In his defense of the appointment, Mejía emphasized his grandson's professional qualifications, his history within the party, and his ongoing contributions to the organization. The statement serves to validate the internal selection process amidst the transition of leadership roles within the PRM.
