This, because not only supporters of the “Añeteté” movement, but also other groups such as “Republican Hope”, “Republican Participation”, “Republican Commitment” and even its main adversary “Honor Colorado”.
“We are working on that. A group of senators is calling on different leaders to form a new movement. In the fortnight of this month we will already have it. The spine will always be ‘Añeteté’ ”, he expressed.
Unlike the presidential badge of Chartism, Velázquez has not yet defined his vice president, but the options that are handled are; Juan Manuel Brunetti, Cecilia Pérez and Euclides Acevedo.
CUBES
Emilio Cubas, a former member of the ANR Governing Board, said that Velázquez is putting together a new group due to the constant comings and goings of legislators who go from one side to another and vice versa.
“The party bases are being rearranged. Something that usually happens before the elections, “he said.
He said it is difficult for Velázquez to move away from the worn image of Abdo Benítez as he constantly vindicates his policies. He stressed that it will even be the first case in which a vice president ends up close to his president in the democratic era.
“In the same way, the vice president will carry with him the heavy backpack of the current government. With that it is impossible for him to win in the next internal games ”, he said.
For Cubas, Velázquez has no chance of winning the next election.
“Because of the wear and tear of this Government and the heavy backpack it is carrying. I don’t think anyone wants to continue with this misrule, “he concluded.
