He Ministry of Tourism In a few weeks there will be a new leader at the helm, given the imminent departure of the minister Tabare Viera to work for his presidential candidacy for the Colorado Party (PC), a departure that is scheduled for next March 11.
It is in this context that the dance of names to replace him began, although with one certainty: the portfolio will go to a Colorado official. There are three names that appear and to make definitions there will be a tripartite negotiation between See, President Luis Lacalle Pou and the former president Julio María Sanguinetti, PC reference.
As he knew Ambit, the highest bid is between two of the three names. One is the deputy Marne Osorio Lima, promoted by the Minister of Tourism himself. However, Sanguinetti proposed to his son, the former vice president of UTE, Julio Luis Sanguinetti.
The third in contention, who today has fewer chances, is the senator Germán Coutinho, former mayor of Salto. The leader, close to Bordaberry, could head Tourism, although another possibility in the assembly is that he compete again for the mayor of Leap.
In the ranks of the ruling party they anticipate, cryptically, that the next candidate “will be red” and they even dare to say that he will come from the sector Batllistas. For this reason, the dialogue between Viera, Lacalle Pou and Sanguinetti will be key.
Osorio Lima is the right-hand man of the current minister and has his endorsement, to the point that he accompanied him in several of the latest public activities. Although Sanguinetti’s figure could help tip the balance in the other direction. There are still a few weeks left to move forward with the definition to meet the successor of See, who will assume the portfolio in less than 20 days.
