An initiative named "Hablemos PRM" has been introduced, aiming to bolster the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) by revitalizing its structures, enhancing internal participation, and fostering closer ties with communities. This project emerged after several months of dialogues, assemblies, and meetings held in various provinces across the Dominican Republic.

During these consultations, party leaders, legislators, and officials engaged with neighborhood associations, community leaders, sports clubs, social organizations, and PRM militants. The goal was to gather concerns, criticisms, and proposals. The resulting document outlines plans to strengthen internal participation mechanisms, reform party structures, create more opportunities for young people and women, improve communication with the grassroots, and ensure political decisions reflect the country's evolving social, economic, and technological landscapes.

We must place collective interests above individual aspirations to strengthen the organization.
