00:00Meanwhile in Panama, the Democratic Revolutionary Party and the Panaminista Party are electing new members to their leaderships on Sunday amid internal divisions.
00:10At 8 a.m. local time, the Panaminista Party began the convention to elect its new board of directors.
00:17A total of 1,386 delegates will elect 11 directors and 16 board members with their alternates.
00:26Meanwhile, the Democratic Revolutionary Party is electing five of the ten positions on its National Executive Committee and is betting on changes after the disastrous results of May of 2024 general elections.
00:41These elections represent an opportunity for the parties to reorganize and define the country's political future amid a landscape that demands renewal and new leadership figures for the Panamanian people.
00:56There is a significant movement within the party that aims to redirect it, and position it, as an opposition party, reconnecting it with society because there is a total disconnect in Panama.
01:10This was demonstrated by the crises of July 2022 and November 2023, among the country's political leadership, not only those of us in government, but also those in the opposition with social leadership.
01:22This social leadership has now been repressed, persecuted, and prosecuted by this government.
01:27I believe that Omar Torrio's party is called upon not only to play its role as the opposition, but also to make that connection with the social leadership of the country, to create a popular alliance, to return to our roots, from which we should never have left, because we have been disconnected from that social movement over the last 30 years, by the implementation of neoliberal policies, imposed from abroad.
01:50For the last 30 years, for the application of neoliberal policies.
