The candidate who received the most votes in the primaries won the required number of conventions to run without having to resort to party agreements.
The chosen candidate for the Maldonado City Hall for him National Party, Rodrigo Blas, announced that he had obtained the necessary support to run in the departmental elections that will take place in May 2025, without having to resort to party agreements – although not necessarily ruling them out -; but that he will still head list 23 for October. According to the leader, “if he wins the Broad Front, “Maldonado goes back 20 years.”
“Thanks to good whites I have the necessary conventions to be a candidate for mayor, without having to wait for anyone or ask anyone,” announced Blás, who was the most voted candidate for mayor in the last primaries, being far above Miguel Abella.
However, he also confirmed that he will lead the list 23 in the national elections in October, with the aim of maintaining the space that Maldonado has in the Parliament. “Not because I want to be a deputy,” he said, stating that his goal is to win the department’s mayoralty; but to attract votes that will allow him to retain the seats from which to fight for policies for the commune, as well as contribute to the victory of the National Party and its presidential candidate, Alvaro Delgado.
“I could save myself for May, but that would be very petty. It would not meet the needs of the country, of the department,” said the white candidate for the Mayorship of Maldonado.
“We need a National Party “We must be broad and generous in facing the battles of October and November. All our men and women must be on the field with their greatest potential. When the Party opens up its options, we win. When we lock ourselves in personal projects and pettiness, we sink and put at risk not only the victory but also the morale and spirit of our leaders and militants,” he added.
“October will be the basis for the victory in May,” concluded Blás.
The look on Maldonado
In March, prior to the primaries and in an interview with Ambit, Blas assured that Maldonado “It is very good, because it has seen a steady growth in development and transformation.” In this regard, he stressed that “it has gone from being a place of occasional work to a permanent place of work.”
“It is not a coincidence. We are deepening the path of having other productive matrices besides the occasional tourism. Today people choose Maldonado to live or do business because the laws make it desirable,” said Blás.
Looking ahead, he said that “the challenge is to maintain the current situation, continue to grow in an orderly manner and anticipate the future.” “We have to set challenges in the fight against poverty, improve working conditions and improve quality, and stand up to differences, because Maldonado goes from being the richest city in 7 kilometers to the richest city in 1989.” poverty “the more sunken,” he said.
