Hector Ferrer Sucks
November 11, 2008
I grew quite happy when Anibal Acevedo Vila resigned as President of the PPD. I believed his resignation to signal a new start in the party and a switch back to its progressive roots. Those who stood remained as the few remaining leaders of the PPD - Willie Miranda Marin, Alejandro Garcia Padilla, Jose Aponte Jr. - were all staunch autonomists and nationalists. Little did I think that another monga like Hector Ferrer would be unanimously elected President of the party.
Sila M. Calderon and Anibal represented the more conservative wings of the party and on economic and social issues had few differences in comparison to their PNP counterparts. Hector Ferrer is a continuation of those policies and lacks the charisma of his fellow PPD leaders. As leader of the Chamber minority during this past term he has done nothing but rubber stamp all of Anibal's policies and lead a gang of monga Representatives. Ever since I heard him refer to union leaders as "nothing but a bunch of communists," he has become one of my least liked members of the party.

be careful with alejandro garcia padilla, he reffered to himself as a centrist candidate, he also said the ppd lost because of its autonomist tendencies. este tipo no me convence and i voted for him
What Julia said. Ahora todo el mundo está refiriéndose a García Padilla como "casi estadista".
Héctor Ferrer había dicho que el que se convirtiera en presidente del PPD no podía ser el que se lanzara para la gobernación. Ferdinand Pérez criticó esto. De seguro están pensando en García Padilla para el 2012, pero realmente a él no le veo muchas ganas de eso, no por ahora...
Willie había dicho que no quería la presidencia antes del 2010. Tiene el ojo en la gobernación... para mí, debió haber tomado la presidencia del PPD de todas formas. Es un momento crítico para el partido.
