Pedro Gomez made many promises to the poor that he wouldn't have been able to keep, and he was just as corrupt as the rest of the PRDists, thats why Juan B formed the PLD, to get away from those crooks that had taken over his party. My comment still hasn't been answered: WHAT DID HE DO FOR THE DR.
Well, to be fair to poor old Peņa, he was denied the chance to prove himself one way or the other, despite having won the election in 94.
