“I am not a militant of the National Party “I’ve been here all my life, everyone knows it. This year I made decisions that changed my life, a very nice bond has developed on the tours with Álvaro, we got to know each other a lot more, we talked a lot more, I was surprised by the affection of the whites,” he commented.
“I have never been to Masoller, this year will be the first time I will go, I will not stand in front of the lifelong people of the National Party Saying that I am whiter than whites, I am not a member of the National Party “For an exclusively ideological reason. In the National Party I am totally free to give my opinions, I found interest in the causes I fight for. Sebastián Da Silva is a valuable leader, with a Masoller profile, I have another that he does not have and so we complement each other,” he added.
