The Colorado Party (PC) Convention voted to separate from the idea of a single candidate representing the five parties of the multicolored coalition for the departmental elections in Montevideo in 2025, and will go with a single candidate.
“During the convention, the Party’s Deputy Secretary for Political Affairs, Juan Martín Jorge, together with the Secretary General for Montevideo, Carlos Rydström, and Deputy Marcelo Pasquet submitted the report on the decision that was made during the last meeting of the government group. of the Colorado Party on May 13. There it was decided to go with its own candidate for the Montevideo municipal elections, although Jorge clarified that it will be ‘in a coalition scheme’”, says a statement released after the vote of the conventional ones.
Jorge assured that he was “discussed with the general secretary of the Colorado Party, Julio Maria Sanguinettiand with members of the National Party in past days. This Tuesday the circle and the formality are closing, since we present this report and decide this working scheme hand in hand with the votes of the Convention”.
“During the last municipal elections in Montevideo, the Colorado Party had the pleasure of accompanying Laura Raffo in a formula, seconding her with our candidates and the entire coalition scheme, while what we are proposing now is to go in a coalition scheme, but with own candidate. This means that each party is going to put its candidate, not in an accompanying formula, but in its own formula”, stated the political force that supported Laura Raffo as the only candidate in the last elections. In those elections, Carolina Cosse, from the Broad Front, was elected.
