The PRM bids farewell with honors to Andrés “Licho” Matos
The Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) held an emotional posthumous tribute at its National House to bid farewell to Andrés “Licho” Matos, a prominent communicator, former deputy, and key figure of the political organization. The event was attended by the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, who joined the leadership and family members to honor his memory.
Matos’ remains were transferred to the party headquarters after fulfilling a funeral honors protocol at the National Congress and the National District City Hall, spaces where various public figures highlighted his impeccable trajectory and vocation for service.
Today is one of those difficult moments in life, in which it is time to say goodbye to a person who, without being family, without having a blood tie, the heat of time, of the struggle and of the vision strengthens that relationship and turns it into a relationship equal to that of family.
Deligne Ascención, executive vice president of the PRM
A legacy of dedication and commitment
During his speech, Deligne Ascención stressed that the party is not only losing a leader, but an exemplary citizen who dedicated his life to institutional strengthening. Ascención recalled that Matos was the first national secretary of Communications for the PRM, an area he consolidated from the organization’s beginnings.
- He was a fundamental pillar in the political communication of the PRM.
- He served with distinction as a deputy for the National District and as a councilman.
- He was recognized for his role as a family man and his constant community work.
- His career included a prominent stage in the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) before his integration into the PRM.
The tribute, organized by the National Secretariat of Communications, served to reaffirm the respect and gratitude of the entire membership towards someone who was a tireless collaborator. After the ceremony at the National House, the funeral procession departed for the Cristo Redentor Cemetery, where his remains were given a Christian burial, thus closing a cycle of recognition for a life dedicated to the service of the nation.
