He said Lord Acton: "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Hopefully the engineer Miguel Vargas stop and think about the political risks that could result from excessive exercise of "plenary powers" which he himself brokered after his appointment as president of the Dominican Revolutionary Party.

Clearly, as the president of the PRD does not have the backing of 98 percent of the members of his party, as allegedly threw the plebiscite to ratify his election to the organization.

Miguel Vargas could have a formal majority in the leadership of the PRD, as is his alter ego, Dr. Leonel Fernandez in the ruling party, but should be done except that the LDP president not only has the power, but the party leadership. The PRD president could control the high leadership of the party, but not the will of the majority of the PRD.

In this circumstance it would be ideal to promote the dialogue in, just as they did in the past the main leaders of the PRD party unity to consolidate and optimize the search for power. No other formula has worked successfully in the history of the PRD.

But the political management of the engineer Vargas has another connotation even more important for the implications it might have as a reference model for political management of President Fernandez and his party from a position that formally allows control of all state structures.

If Vargas applied to internal opponents strength of party power, that quality could be the PRD to claim Leonel not do the same from the government and from all levels of power that runs the PLD?.

If Vargas uses the full power to shape the Political Commission and the National Organizing Committee according to their interests, with what quality and how morality could ask President Fernandez to respect the consensus and equity in the formation of the Central Elections and other government bodies such as the National Judicial Council and the Ombudsman, for example?

Miguel Vargas hopefully be encouraged to try to see a little beyond the curve, as stated by Dr. Jose Francisco Pena Gomez, for the near future events not surprised and do not leave without speaking to face the same practices when applied from the state machinery against his party and even his possible presidential plans.

Agreeing with the PRD will always be the cheapest alternative, more viable and safer for Miguel Vargas.
