The coalition seeks to consolidate its presence in the Senate with a joint list that places Sartori in second placeThe objective: to secure at least two senators in the upcoming elections on October 27.
With the deadline for submitting electoral lists fast approaching, internal negotiations within the parties are intensifying. In this context, the agreement between the sectors led by Juan Sartori and the former minister
Luis Alberto Heber is almost ready to be presented to the public. Both factions of the National Party They have been working on this understanding for weeks, in an effort to join forces.
The Herrera government after Raffo’s scandalous departure
These negotiations take place after Herrerismo and Laura Raffo had a fight, leading to the departure of the former presidential candidate amidst cross accusations.
“The pledged word and commitment to the people are essential in politics,” Raffo said in his letter, pointing out principles that guide his career. He claims to be in talks “with the entire PN” after his departure, when he was left without a place on the Herrerista list.
The agreement is not only for the Senate, but also provides that each sector maintains its own list for the Chamber of Deputies. For example, in Montevideo, the Herrera party will participate with the list 71 while sartorialism will do it with the list 880This is an attempt to find strategic balance in which both groups seek to maximize their legislative representation.
A source from Sartorism told the newspaper El País that the alliance has good prospects for electoral performance, even in a scenario of “filtered herrerismo” following the departure of certain leaders. According to this source, the combination of votes between both factions should facilitate the obtaining of two seats in the Senate, assigned to Heber and Sartori.
The underlying strategy is to create “a larger force than the one we have elected today,” according to a leader associated with Sartori. There is confidence that the work in the territory of the candidates for deputies, supported by an adequate synergy between Sartori supporters and Herrer supporters, will lead to a strong block of deputies and at least two senators.
In the past, Herrera has also allied itself with other forces of the PN, such as the Sector Mejor País, with which they obtained three senators in the last elections, but now they are seeking that Sartorism gives them more seats in Parliament to have a stronger voice.
