Indicar los riesgos principales del proyecto

• Que los grupos de poder interesados en debilitar a la organización indígena, intensifiquen sus presiones sobre su dirigencia buscando su cooptación y/o prebendalización.
• Que las organizaciones sociales, especialmente, no logren mantener una sana autonomía y juicio crítico **frente a las directrices partidarias** y comportamientos sectarios de funcionarios de gobierno y cuadros del M.A.S.

Explanation:
I think "partisan" could be taken as "government" here as it refers to the faction in power. The "directrices" would be more implemented policies or agendas than guidelines in this context. (At least that's my reading of the situation.) "confroted with" could also be rendered "when responding to" or "when dealing with".

Similarly, if the recruitment ...... acaten sus directrices sin mayor debate, sino de la independencia y la ...; *El Diccionario de la Real Academia Española incluye 12 definiciones para “política”, por lo que en este caso aparentemente el español castellano tiene una semántica incómoda: una palabra con muchos significados. El inglés tiene dos vocablos, “politics” para referirse a la política partidaria, o la actividad del ciudadano cuando interviene en los asuntos públicos con su opinión, voto o pago de impuestos, y “policy” para las orientaciones o directrices de una entidad, como la política de cambios y devoluciones de una tienda, o las políticas fiscal, o de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, por mencionar un par de políticas públicas.

Con esta distinción que nos ofrece el inglés, los actores asociados a cada concepto resultan muy distintos. En la policy generalmente son académicos con conocimientos especializados. En la politics son los que llamamos políticos, militantes de organizaciones partidarias que rigen o aspiran a regir los asuntos políticos. http://plazapublica.com.gt/plazapublica/index.php?option=com...

Reference: partidario

Reference information:
In European Spanish, "partidario" means "in favor of" (partidario de) or "partisan", but in American Spanish, it means, or can mean, relating to party politics or the politics of a particular party. This very point arose in a ProZ question some months ago:
