The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) will ask its activists and members for input to determine how their relationship should be toward former presidential candidate Andres Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and President Felipe Calderón.
PRD member Jose Antonio Rueda and Senator Alfonso Sánchez Anaya, head of the Committee to Reestablish the PRD, announced on Monday that they will be distributing a questionnaire as part of a national inquiry.
Rueda said that selfishness among many factions of the party has caused it to lose its influence and prominence.
"On various occasions on state and national levels, the fundamental and original ethics of our party, giving it legitimacy, have been replaced by selfishness and reprehensible behavior who see the party as a way to get cushy jobs and powerful positions," Rueda said.
Party input will gauge what types of internal changes should be made, which would have to be approved by the party.
Among the 17 questions, PRD sympathizers will be asked how they feel about the relation between the political institution and its principal leaders, such as Andres Manuel López Obrador and the small handful of PRD governors.
Questionnaires will also ask people's position regarding what should be done to maintain the relationship between the federal government and state governments who aren't affiliated with the same parties. Presidential elections in 2012 and the route the PRD should take to strengthen it and make it more competitive will also be on the survey.
The committee is even asking the public's opinion about alliances over the next few years with the PRI and the PAN. Finally, the survey is including questions about what actions the PRD should take, the role of its factions and the relationship between leaders and activists. |
