Pro Trujillo Rivalry Heats in Dominican Politics
Six years after Trujillo's assassination pro and anti Trujillist forces vie for influence in the Dominican Republic. Trujillismo appears in the armed forces and police, with arrests and disappearances raising alarm as Imbert Barrera survives an assassination bid. Balaguer backs a bid to control the military with Melido Marie and Col. Neil Nivar Seijas at the center. Interior minister Amiama Tio and Imbert navigate a politically opportunistic landscape as opposition eyes unite behind an anti-Trujillist front led by Francisco Pena Gomez.
