AS DEPUTIES in the National Assembly build alliances and struggle to decide who they will support to be elected as president of legislative body, one has issued a statement that during the previous administration, then president Ricardo Martinelli had offered eight million dollars to deputies to switch parties.

"During the past period, there were attempts by who at the time ran the State of offering millions of dollars $(8 million) in order to become a turncoat and is  against my principles. I did not and I have never taken millions offered me, "said the PRD  legislator. Iracema de Dale

The document was posted to deny that De Dale supported the reelection of her fellow party member Ruben De Leon, as president of the National Assembly.

The authenticity of the statement was confirmed by the deputy to the press and it is being distributed through social networks and some fellow party PRD deputies of the legislator reports La Prensa.
