It's outright embarrassing, and speaks volumes of the low caliber of most of the contenders for PAN's party presidency: Cecilia Romero informed that she and the four other candidates had decided, against earlier promises, to simply skip any debates: "It was a joint decision and it is now out of the question ... we are not enemies, we are not adversaries, we are contenders in the same way."
So the PAN leadership succession is therefore, as critics have complained, merely a contest between personalities and/or based on whether one professes unquestioning loyalty or not to Calderón, rather than between candidates with well thought-out plans and visions for what they want the role of PAN to be?
I have defended and will continue defending PAN's way in which they choose their party president - by a vote in the national council rather than a debilitating mass-base election - yet to not even meet for a mere debate really serve to undermine the very point of holding this practice at all, and threatens to expose the "election" as a mere sham.
