In a press interview, Paredes stated that he had become "what some people sometimes call a strong man." Without delay the new Guard commander asserted himself in Panamanian politics and formulated plans to run for the presidency in 1984.
Many suspected that Paredes had struck a deal with Colonel Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno, who had been the assistant chief of staff for intelligence since 1970, whereby Noriega would assume command of the Guard and Paredes would become president in 1984.
Paredes publicly blamed Royo for the rapidly deteriorating economy and the pocketing of millions of dollars from the nation's social security system by government officials.

Barracks coup, 1982: With Noriega, Rubén Darío Paredes, and Contreras, nonviolent ousted Florencio Flores as commander of Panamanian National Guard.
Paredes himself then became commander of the National Guard; one of his first official functions (again, with Noriega and Díaz Herrera) was to force the retirement of Panamanian president Aristides Royo.
Having done this, he issued a set of decrees (all but one presented as "recommendations") that called for the resignation of almost everyone in the civilian government, the implementation of several new laws, a review of the labor code, and a 7-day shutdown of all newspapers.

It seems that the request to ARI was for land to be used by a private foundation to create the contemplated academy, but Fernández points out that the law restricts possession of military weapons to the government and that any true military academy would have to have such arms for its instructional purposes.
Retired Panama Defense Forces General Rubén Darío Paredes called Pérez's proposal a "slip," but said that the proposal is interesting and ought to be discussed further.
Paredes told El Panama America that Pérez's big mistake was to go first to ARI, rather than to the Ministry of Education, and that the idea needs to be considered from a number of points of view, including the ethical one, taking into account the suspicion that many Panamanians have of all things military.
