Page "New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico" Paragraph 5

Another strong voice against Fortuño was NPP former President Leo Díaz.

Díaz accused Fortuño and his wife of having ties to PDP law firms and to colonialist interests.

At a November 4, 2007, rally called " Con Fuerza para Vencer " ( With the Strength to Win ), Díaz said, " In this primary the life of this party is in jeopardy.

The other candidate, Fortuño, isn't a real statehood defender!

He should explain why he has ties with PDP's law firms and why the colonialist special interests are financing his campaign [...]".

He has since rejoined party activities and chairs Santini's 2012 reelection efforts.
