“We understand that we have had a good performance, the Frente Amplio has managed to recover the interior of the country, it is the political party with the most votes in Uruguay, it is the political party that had the most growth compared to 2019, but we have had a good result where the FA has emerged as the first force in 12 departments. Ten outside the metropolitan area. “This raises hopes that the FA will continue to be the favorite to win the runoff,” said Sánchez, highlighting the growth of the Frente Amplio in key regions of the interior.
The campaign manager highlighted the choice that the Uruguayan people face: “The Uruguayan people have to decide between Yamandú Orsi and Álvaro Delgado.” Regarding the parliamentary situation, Sánchez maintained that the composition of the Chamber of Deputies “obliges to negotiate and discuss” to “achieve consensus.”
The debate between Orsi and Delgado, called by the Electoral Court, is expected this week and, according to Sánchez, “probably on Thursday” the details will be defined. Regarding a possible debate between the vice presidential candidates Valeria Ripoll and Carolina Cosse, Sánchez responded: “We have not evaluated it. It has been much discussed that Yamandú Orsi had to debate, he is going to debate. Now they have another debate, we will evaluate it in due course.”
Regarding party identity, Sánchez assured that “the symbols are never left behind,” despite the fact that the campaign advances to a second stage in which the Frente Amplio will seek to attract new voters. “One had a strategy in the first stage of the campaign and now comes a second stage where we have to call on a group of citizens to accompany Yamandú Orsi in this case,” he explained.
As part of this new stage, Sánchez highlighted the figure of Orsi: “The need for changes in Uruguay, the need to advance in Uruguay, that certainty comes from Yamandú Orsi.”
The Frente Amplio plans a call event on the Montevideo promenade under the motto “A call for Uruguay” and will hold neighborhoods in the metropolitan area to achieve a “vote by vote” dialogue with the citizens. Sánchez assured that “we are going to be present in all departments, because obviously our call is to citizens in a new scenario” and that the objective is “to call all citizens, in all territories, in all departments, to choose who can drive this boat. We believe that Yamandú Orsi has more than enough conditions.”
Finally, the candidate will call the top of the list to add momentum to the campaign. “The people decided on a representation and for us it is important that these comrades join the campaign much more strongly and that is a bit of the idea of why Yamandú has called them,” concluded the Senator from the Popular Participation Movement (Mpp). .
