Peña recalled that “five years ago, after Pedro (Bordaberry) left politics, there was nothing in the Colorado Party.” Instead, he now sees “many and many.” In this sense, he argued that the party “He will not have problems with candidacies” in 2024.
The possible candidacy of Andrés Ojeda
In the last few hours, the former mayor of Montevideo and Colorado leader Andres Ojeda –from the Ciudadanos sector, internal rivals of Batillistas– expressed their intentions to “rebuild” the space. Peña hinted at his support: “I think the party has many men and women who are standing out in government action. It has people with desire, as is the case with Andrés, who wants to get into politics with force”.
However, the minister stressed: “It is a very good thing that we do not have defined candidates yet, because it allows us to concentrate on what we are, which is the government. The Colorado Party feels comfortable in government”.
At the same time, he promised: “We are going to work to renew the coalition and so that it has the greatest possible dose of Batllism, it is what gives it balance.”
This Saturday, the Colorados expect a participation of between 20,000 and 30,000 people in the elections of young people related to space. Based on the results, two of the candidates will integrate the National Executive Committee (CEN) of the party. In turn, the authorities of the different departmental committees will be defined.
