Francisco Sánchez Cárdenas
Francisco Sánchez Cárdenas is a prominent Panamanian politician and the founder of the Partido Revolucionario Democrático (PRD). He served as the president of the PRD from 2009 to 2012 and has been a vocal critic of the party's current direction, particularly regarding its support of Shirley Castañedas for the presidency of the National Assembly, which he views as a continuation of political ties to former president Ricardo Martinelli. Sánchez Cárdenas believes that the party's current leadership fails to address deeper issues within the organization and has strayed from its foundational principles.
