The Multicolor Coalition advances in the negotiations of its leaders to present itself as a list in cannelloni for the next departmental elections in Uruguay, which will take place in May 2025.
While it is still not assured that the current government coalition will seek re-election in October 2024 as a bloc made up of the same parties as today, the leaders of the National Party, he Colorado Party and Town meeting They are moving in the direction of presenting themselves under a common motto in the department led today by the Frente Amplista. Yamandu Orsi.
“There is good harmony,” said the lobbyist deputy. Alvaro Perrone, while the Colorado senator Adrian Pena had announced a few days ago that “we are about to agree.”
What the leaders are seeking is to make the saying “unity makes strength” a reality, since in the last elections, in which they participated separately, they were very far from reaching Orsi. In fact, the sole candidate of the Frente Amplio achieved 51%, while the National Party got 25%. Meanwhile, the Colorado Party reached 4% and Cabildo Abierto barely achieved 2.5% of the votes. Between these last two sectors, they did not even manage to overcome the blank and annulled votes.
Optimism in the coalition
Without Orsi within the possibilities of the Wide Front —while he is serving two terms and cannot be re-elected, although he is emerging as the main presidential candidate for the opposition—, Perrone considered that the coalition “can reach an agreement that gives him victory in Canelones“.
In this sense, he said that he has already started “the round of meetings with Cabildo leaders” to show his “clear interest in being a candidate for mayor” again, as happened in 2020.
Days ago, the person who used similar words was the former Minister of the Environment. “My goal is going to be in Canelones. We are in a process of tours and work“If that culminates in my candidacy, it would be an honor to represent the party in the coalition,” said Peña, who will not participate in the red race for the presidency.
“We will have to see the results of next October. It will determine how the agreements are made. First it is retain the national government and then, there, promote the recovery of Canelones,” Perrone also said.
In the event that a Colorado and a lobbyist present themselves, there will only be one place available for a white person. There have still been no announcements in this party, beyond a declaration of intentions from the deputy Alvaro Dastugue.
