FP opposition to PRM energy, environment, and politics

Overview

The Fuerza del Pueblo (FP) continues its opposition to the Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) administration, focusing on energy, environmental management, and economic stability. FP leaders have denounced a deepening electricity crisis and criticized government officials regarding the nearly US$2 billion debt to power generators. Regarding the environment, the FP has challenged President Luis Abinader’s Decree 615-26, with Secretary Paíno Abreu Collado labeling the government an ‘environmental terrorist.’

As Luis Abinader manages his role as President of the PRM for the 2026-2030 term, internal party dynamics are shifting. Despite Abinader’s previous pledge not to designate a political successor, Carolina Mejía has announced her presidential aspirations through her ‘C28 project,’ claiming support from over 50 deputies, eight senators, and 120 mayors. Other figures, such as David Collado, have also been noted as strong contenders in internal polls.

In a recent development during the XXIV National Ordinary Convention Orlando Jorge Mera, the PRM formalized its leadership structure. President Luis Abinader was elected as party president, with Juan de Jesús Garrigó Mejía appointed as general secretary. This arrangement is intended to balance veteran experience with generational renewal, with Abinader expected to provide stability and arbitration among potential presidential candidates. Garrigó, described as a ‘digital-era politician,’ is tasked with engaging younger voters ahead of the 2028 elections.

The party is currently working toward three primary objectives: achieving total unification of its leadership, establishing an external structure to attract individuals outside the current administration, and securing political power beyond 2028.
