Unexpected Development

Interior Secretary Fernando Gómez Mont renounced his membership in the PAN earlier today, for reasons that he didn't specify. I've seen no explanation as to why, but he was a vocal opponent of the electoral alliances with the PRD, and I imagine that most of the speculation will center around that dispute. For the moment, he is independent. At least one PAN heavyweight said that this isn't a big blow to the party, but it's hard to see how the resignation of the most important cabinet member from the party can be interpreted as anything but.

Update: The decision was due to the alliances.
