He President of the Broad Front (FA), Fernando Pereiradoes not rule out running as a candidate for mayor of Montevideo facing the 2025 departmental elections in the event that this were requested from within the ranks of his political force.
In recent days, the former union leader was interviewed by Channel 5, where he said that he would be willing to “think” about running for the departmental elections if there was internal consensus within the FA.
“I decided to serve as president for five years. Broad Front“That ends in two years,” the party leader stressed, implying that he has time for a potential campaign for the capital’s government.
“If they asked me, I would think about it, but if it were up to me, I would be the president of the FA. I am a party man, I would recommend the party not to ask me, but if they asked me, I would consider it,” he acknowledged in this regard.
Pereira said he believed that “yes” he would be “a good mayor,” and positively valued the succession of FA governments in the country’s capital since 1990, after the assumption of Tabare Vazquez.
“Montevideo has changed since the FA came to power. There are no longer ants eating sugar, the squares are divine, the streets are illuminated, it is a smart city,” the head of the left-wing coalition said controversially.

In that sense, Pereira believes that the FA candidate for vice president of the Republic, Carolina Cossewho recently resigned from his post, also performed a “very good” government management.
He also said that despite the criticism of the councilors of the Colorado Party (PC) and the National Party (PN), the people of Montevideo “do not see the same thing” and that this was reflected in the internal electionsdue to the volume of votes Cosse received.
