In the FA the names to compete in May could be known before the end of the year
The President of the Political Table of the Frente Amplio, after analyzing the electoral victory obtained in the runoff last Sunday, surprised by handling the firm possibility that in less than a month the names of the candidates for the Mayor of Cerro Largo will be known. that the political force today in the opposition will promote for the second Sunday of the month of May next year.
He also reiterated his position that there be 3 candidates, each with a well-defined profile, to compete in a scenario of polarization that is once again presented by the National Party, a political group that has historically guided the destinies of the department.
“We Frente Amplio voted for Frente Amplio because the Frente Amplio has an alternative project for Cerro Largo. We believe here that we do not have to change the figure, we have to change the leader. I do not believe in the leaders and in the Frente Amplio the leaders are the representation of the delay that exists in the department of Cerro Largo in terms of its evolution as a society. There is no one person capable of solving everything, but organized civil society solves it and solves it through teamwork.” said the President of the Departmental Political Table.
“I hope that before the end of the year the Front will have its electoral presentation defined” established the Notary José Daniel Aquino.
“There is one month left so you have to put on your overalls and work” summoned. “We are going to make the effort, is what I propose, to define the departmental electoral presentation before the end of the year. In my opinion there should be three candidates” he insisted during the live interview of THE PROFESSIONAL Radio on Tuesday, November 26.
“We must give citizens the opportunity to have different options, that within a common Program they can present their emphases, their facets and their differences in personality” he pointed out. “We have to do it looking at the Departmental Board and looking at the Municipalities also given that in some we already have colleagues who are shaping up for the campaign” he assured.
A DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE
“This campaign is going to be very different from the previous one because the conditions are different” he opined. “In the last period we had a luxury candidate, with experience, trajectory and with a head that could have contributed to changing society” said in relation to Rodolfo Nin Novoa who was the sole candidate in the elections that were finally held on the last Sunday of September 2020.
“The population of Cerro Largo has to ask themselves why for so many years we have been in 18th place in the human development index, why we are a society in which public works are generally of low quality, what is done generally does not last. , and why we continue to bet on a form of government that has transformed the Municipality into a political committee and not into an institution at the service of the entire population” stated the highest authority of the Frente Amplio in Cerro Largo.
ENTRANCE BY CONTEST AND DRAW, RESPECTING THOSE WHO ARE
Aquino also said that entry through competition and by lottery of officials will be a priority. “The Mayor has every right to have his work team, what we would call the cabinet, the Council of Ministers, to carry out the policy of the Departmental Government in the different areas” held. “Then we have the officials, those who are already there must be respected, they must keep their jobs” he emphasized. “We say this because later the chant begins that if the Front wins they will run them, but the reality is that if a sector within the National Party wins it will take those from the other sector to put in theirs. That is what has happened to a greater or lesser extent. “Some Mayors have been drastic in making room for their people and others have had to negotiate because majorities are later required in the Departmental Board.” express.
“For us it is very clear: transparent forms of access that will not be direct appointment, respect for those who are working today and positions of trust leave when the government period ends. There is no way back in that, that’s how it is.” The President of the Departmental Political Table of the Frente Amplio concluded by saying.
