Adriana Dávila resigns from PAN’s Permanent Committee with a pointed attack on Jorge Romero

Adriana Dávila has resigned from the National Action Party’s Permanent Committee, delivering a direct criticism of party leader Jorge Romero Herrera while choosing not to leave PAN itself.

In her resignation letter, Dávila said the party leadership “tolerates political theater, inconsistency and inaction, without encouraging openness to other ideas.” She said she was worried about PAN’s public image and argued that its leadership showed little interest in building a solid project that could bring Mexicans together in opposition to Morena.

Dávila said proposals she had made on goals, implementation timelines, specific responsibilities and professional profiles for evaluating and correcting the party’s actions had been dismissed. “What I proposed regarding goals, implementation timelines, specific responsibilities and professional profiles for evaluating, monitoring and correcting our actions as a party was, to put it mildly, trivialized,” she wrote.

She also accused the National Permanent Committee of becoming a place where genuine debate had given way to silence and complicity, driven by the pursuit of political positions and future candidacies. Referring to PAN’s electoral failures in Veracruz, Durango and Coahuila, she said the results exposed institutional, political and security deterioration, without showing that the party’s bodies could critically process the defeats.

According to Dávila, PAN candidate selections had been made within minutes, blindly and without a sound basis. She said this allowed candidates without properly assessed records to gain prominence through measurements she considered insufficiently objective. She argued that Romero’s leadership had sent voters a message of weakness, fragility and ambiguity toward Morena’s government.

“The perception that has been created is devastating: a leadership that denounces the regime’s authoritarian excesses timidly, with parliamentary groups that do not always act with the same force, cohesion and clarity in consequential votes,” Dávila wrote. She also criticized repeated announcements of party relaunches without real change, saying that remaining on the Permanent Committee would amount to endorsing its political hollowing-out.
