Deputy Miguel Ángel Calisto resigned from the Christian Democracy and further deepened the internal crisis of the community, which has been marked by the massive departure of militants from the phalanx. As he stated, “one has to be honest and say ‘Look, you know I’m only here.”
in conversation with emmol, the parliamentarian explained his departure from the PDC, stating that “unfortunately in recent times the situation had already become unsustainable.” However, he admitted that it is a complicated decision because the party “was our family where we shared ideas and a common political project.”
Along these lines, Calisto said that “very complex, very unfortunate” situations were being generated within the DC, such as, for example, what happened in the national board last Saturday. “I had never seen in a democratic-inspired party like the new one, where they control who enters and who doesn’t, almost like a sect action,” he pointed out.
“Many within the DC led by Senator Yasna Provoste and others legitimately have a thesis, which is to take the DC to the left, establish a political domicile for it, and in that context I think they have distorted our principles,” he added.
Calisto ruled that “we are not a party to go to the left, we are a party or we were a party to be an alternative to the left and the right, and it seems to me that this principle is not fulfilled today.”
