Democracia interna PRM

The political leader Elías Báez issued a direct message to PRM members who have publicly exposed their differences on the internal democracy of the organization. Through social media, Báez criticized what he called the “media hype” regarding the renewal of leadership processes, arguing that these confrontations affect the stability of the ruling group.

The criticism on the exposure of internal conflicts

According to him, the internal democracy of the party should be managed with political strategy, not through public exposures. Báez stated that a party in government does not need “unnecessary noise” that weakens its institutional position. His observations focus on the fact that personal aspirations of leaders should not take precedence over the organizational structure and the majority consensus of members.

The political leader used a colloquial expression to say that “internal democracy is directed with strategy to maintain power, not with foolishness”. This phrase reflects his concern about how party debates are being channeled through the media, suggesting that such exposures lack a coherent strategic plan.

Context of PRM leadership renewal

The statements emerge at a time when the Partido Revolucionario Moderno is undergoing internal processes of reorganization and selection of new authorities. These internal movements generate natural tensions within any political structure, but Báez warns that allowing these tensions to be debated publicly could compromise the cohesion of the ruling group.

The leader indirectly questioned the motivations of those who expose these conflicts, suggesting that if some sectors seek to take the debate to the public space, they may be considering alternative political options contrary to the collective interests of the party.

The warning about political opposition

In his message, Báez included a rhetorical question that denotes strategic concern: “Do you want to go to opposition to then want to go to power?”. This question reflects the fear that unresolved conflicts could fracture the unity of the Partido Revolucionario Moderno and affect its ability to remain in government management.

The leader’s statements represent a cautious stance on how internal democracy should be processed in political organizations that hold executive power, emphasizing that such processes require discretion and strategic planning more than media visibility.
