Santo Domingo.- Political activity seemed to reactivate strongly this weekend, after several weeks of relative calm in the party scene.
The three main organizations of the system – the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), the People’s Force (FP) and the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) – took to the streets, in their premises and in their territorial structures to mobilize their militancy and send internal and external signals of political repositioning.
The PRM, in its role as an official party, completed in two rounds an extensive day of affiliation and verification of militants, a process that – according to its leaders – seeks to “clean up and purify” the internal registry with a view to 2028.
Through video cuts and transmissions broadcast on its own platforms, the party showed active registration centers in different parts of the country, in a logistical operation that, according to its spokespersons, aims to consolidate the electoral structure that allowed them to retain power in the last presidential elections.

However, as usually happens in moments of greater visibility, the PRM concentrated most of the criticism and attacks of the weekend.
From opposition sectors, the conference was interpreted as an attempt to reposition itself in the face of a political climate still tense due to discussions of reforms and cross-party accusations.
In contrast, the People’s Force took advantage of Sunday to show muscle in the streets. In just over an hour, the organization led by Leonel Fernández managed to mobilize hundreds of supporters in the eastern strip of the National District.

The chosen route – similar to the one used in 2023 for a demonstration of a comparable nature – crosses sectors with high population density and traditional opposition presence, which allowed the FP to project its capacity to attract people and reaffirm its strategy of connecting with social demands.
The organization classified the march as a demonstration of citizen discontent and a sign that “the country is not satisfied” with the government’s direction.
Meanwhile, the Dominican Liberation Party opted for a strategy of organized dispersion: carrying out multiple simultaneous activities in different parts of the territory to maintain the pace of its organizational withdrawal.

The PLD continued with its usual provincial meetings of leaders, while holding internal processes such as an election among its lawyers and the inauguration of a new premises in the municipality of Las Terrenas, a space enabled and formally presented by the general secretary, Johnny Pujols.
