In the dilemma of disappearing if it joins the National Party, or being an independent option that gives the Frente Amplio possibilities to win the Municipality, the Colorado Party finds itself today, taking into account its vote last October.
Let’s see: the Cologne Colorados got 16,195 votes last October. If the leadership decides to run for mayor and try to retain those October votes, it could allow the victory of the Frente Amplio in Colonia.
In fact, last October the National Party obtained 33,339 votes and the Broad Front added 36,687. If this vote is repeated, he could obtain the mayor’s office.
But the Colorado Party can also choose the formal route of extinction, that is, do as the then deputy Daniel Bianchi did when in 2014 he decided to sign an alliance with Carlos Moreira who was returning from the senate to run for the third time and his candidates for councilors. They joined Moreira’s list.
This meant that, to avoid disappearance, deputy Nibia Reisch drew up a list that obtained only one councilor in the Departmental Board.
Now the head of the party is Nibia Reisch and her list is the majority, she was already an ally of the whites in the last runoff and although there is no Republican Concertation presented in Cologne with which they can vote together, Reisch had Bianchi’s path and join to one of the white lists so that the National Party can secure the mayorship of 2025 or that it could be incorporated into María de Lima’s list so that she wins and thus “remove the Morenistas from the municipal government.”
However, consulted by EL ECO, Reisch confirmed that the Colorado Party will present its own candidate in May 2025.
