The newspaper's cartoon of the day from De Último Minuto reflects the internal debate within the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) after President Luis Abinader ordered that officials seeking elective office resign to dedicate themselves to politics.

In the illustration released this Wednesday, six pre-presidential candidates from the PRM are shown deliberating on the order to resign if they wish to participate in political activities.

Among the highlighted expressions, David Collado states: “I am ready from now on”; Wellington Arnaud affirms: “I better get to work and leave the aspirations”; Carolina Mejía comments: “I don't work in the Government”; while Raquel Peña points out: “I was elected, I don't have to resign, but I count on Abi to replace him”.

The graphic publication shows the reaction of the aspirants to the presidential decision, which seeks to separate administrative functions from party activity.
