– The Government Association of the Colorado Party resolved this weekend to go with its own candidate for the departmental elections of 2025.
This Saturday, in the presence of the general secretary of the Colorado Party for Montevideo, Carlos Rydström; the pro-secretary of Political Affairs, Juan Martín Jorge; deputies, councilors and representatives of different sectors that are members of the Government Association of the Colorado Party, it was resolved to generate the necessary steps to lead the Departmental Coalition to win the May 2025 election and thus promote the transformations that Montevideo needs.
The pro-secretary for Political Affairs, Juan Martín Jorge, pointed out that at the meeting “the position that the Colorado Party should go with its own candidate aspiring to win Montevideo again was unanimous.” Considering that the previous election was “an exceptional situation given the formation of the Republican Coalition.”
To achieve this leadership, the proposal issued by the “Departmental Government Group” of the Colorado Party indicates that work must be done to carry out the consolidation of three key aspects in favor of the 2025 elections.
The first of these aspects is to generate a “strong organic participation with presence and closeness in all corners of the Department.” This implies that the Colorado Party will continue working and emphasizing the importance “of the active militancy of each member of the party in Montevideo in the area clubs.”
The second point to take into account, according to the statement issued, seeks the construction of “an innovative and convincing program proposal, prioritizing issues related to Settlements, Environment, Urban Planning, Mobility and Coexistence, emphasizing the quality of public investment”.
The third aspect in which the leaders of the Colorado Party promised to work towards the elections is the generation of “a wide range of solid candidates for each and every one of the levels of government in dispute in the Departmental election”.
When asked about the new steps taken by his party, Juan Martín Jorge stressed that, “without a doubt, it is unanimous for all sectors to have their own candidate who will work through a proposal and a team with the aim that, after the internal ones, with the new party authorities, the chosen candidate has a technical platform and a great team that can be supported in the face of the elections”.
In conclusion, the Pro-Secretary for Political Affairs pointed out that “the new leaders have become teams and, whoever the chosen candidate is, will represent a project and a partisan team idea, without prejudice to the emergence of a charismatic leader.” . In his words: “The Colorado Party has been renewed in such a way that today, at the table of the departmental government group, the average age was 44 years,” he concluded.
