Although it is not official, the directives of the New Liberalism will give the endorsement to jamie gonzalez, candidate for mayor of Valledupar. The news surprised the ‘political world’mainly, because the employer Ricardo Reyes had made a career to have the blessing of the party led by the Galán brothers.
In that sense, Reyes told EL PILÓN that he continues with his campaign and that other parties They have called him to offer him the guarantee.
“The candidacy continues. I have spoken with several parties with which I feel identified. After the news got out I got the call from four movements offering their support. I am evaluating. I don’t want to participate just to participate, I want do it in a party that I feel represented”, assured the vallenato businessman.
Reyes acknowledged that he allowed time to delay with the decision of the New Liberalism, despite the fact that he knew “that the endorsement was going to be given to another candidate (Jaime Gonzalez)”.
“CONTRADICT”
During his visit to Valledupar, in the month of May, Juan Manuel Galan assured EL PILÓN that they would look for independent candidates far from the political clans. For Kings, the endorsements contradict what was said by the son of Luis Carlos Galan.
“In several municipalities they have delivered guarantees contrary to the policies that Juan Manuel Galan trumpets. The competition was not even because they measured me against candidates who are running campaigns to collect signatures. It should be noted that one of them requested the main guarantee. That is a lack of respect with the signatory“, held. In view of the refusal of the guarantee, Reyes resigned from the party, just like Luis Fernando Padilla.
As he told THE PYLON, the mayoral campaign will run until October. “I have to tell the truth: we will be creative because I am not willing to spend millions of resources. The Mayor’s Office is not an investment or a business option. We want to present a city management campaign, but we will do it honestly, with fair expenses”, he concluded.
