Gerardo Guzman, Hugo Capdevila and Juan José Ochoa will be the candidates for mayor by the UCR in Valle Hermoso, Huerta Grande and Villa Giardino
Undoubtedly, that has held an internal election unusual radicalism Punilla center Although it is true that the inmates had not been produced in many years, 17 for Huerta Grande and Villa Giardino, the voter turnout exceeded expectations, both in making the register of members, the higher the standard of independents. Valle Hermoso
As we published in our last issue, was reached this internal sharp confrontation between the two sectors that were to the contest. The situation became worse a few hours before the polls, because party officials had not received the ballot box, not the standards to be used in the election. According to information issued made a number of submissions to the Electoral Board and the police party prior to seize those items. Anyway, the poll and counting were implemented smoothly and won the victory in Schedule 8 that was running for Gerardo Guzman (233 (51.7%) by 18 votes of difference, which had as the current council candidate Alfredo pomace (215 (47.77%).
Despite the situation of existing tensions, with the final numbers into knowledge Gerardo Guzman held that "in principle we must say that is has been a celebration of democracy, or that the party has been mobilized, has again demonstrated that it is electoral option, which have involved more than 400 people, who have won a genuine vote of people who said they wanted to participate, that there was to be sought, if other issues. Indeed, one was flattered, so honored that people respond and that the proposal made with technical equipment and the working group from two years ago, continues to bear fruit. I think that is essentially that we are on track. If you ask me how I feel, I still can hardly believe it, not because they are 18 votes, but because you're used to doing things based on sacrifice, lungs, and find this is flattering but has its edges that have not yet assimilated. "
Asked whether the election results will the situation of confrontation to one of convergence and the joining of wills to seek a stronger supporter, argued that "I think it will be willingness on both sides, I think the two sectors will have to produce changes in some things to reformulate others, so soon after the election, greetings and so on, I thought that opened a path of dialogue. I have no Aladdin's lamp to confirm that it will be, but, without doubt, that dialogue will be, we can reach an understanding. I think both sides are able to join, sharing ideas and projects, and hit the big target is the general election. I think it is internal has made it clear that people want a change, that it has a lot of independent people to participate provided he wishes, is an anticipation that you are looking for something else that requires another understanding, which need another way to connect and integrate. "
For its part, the list was a candidate Alfredo Pomáz formally addressed Committee Loop through a note to the radicals and the wider community, which argues that "we respectfully address you for the purpose of expressing our congratulations to the members and adherents in Schedule No. 8 led by Gerardo Guzman for work done and allow them to get the win in that race.
As a group of activists, members and active adherents respect the election result, which, seen from the technical and legal, is unobjectionable.
affiliates and independent voters in large numbers have been present in the election are a clear indicator of the potential of the Radical Civic Union with a view to forthcoming elections General.
our group, made up of veteran militants, members, adherents and young innovators is presented to the party authorities in view of the start of the next Provincial and Local Election Campaign. Aware of the response
49% of voters in this primary election have supported our proposal, we express our willingness to openly listed in the column after our party symbols and ideas, without wishing to put a spoke in the wheel or impaired in any way the electoral and political power, shattering old tricks that used in other industries yesterday.
the votes that supported us are and will be for the Civic Union Radical.
all, before the confrontation, we got carried away by passion, but when listening to the voters all must be judicious and thoughtful. There are bugs that can be analyzed, but within the framework of democracy are final. We
crib Radical action, radical currency is and will be our only guide and the Group is listed in the column after the project preferred by the people and that will lead us to victory in the next election. Forward
Radicals. " The document is signed by all members of the list 4. Huerta Grande
The campaign was quiet and orderly, but had peaks of aggression through diffusion of anonymous affecting the public sector could not identify the attackers, but from the ruling party supporter, at some point, it was as authors organize the opposition, and since it is argued that came from other parties to use the confrontation to alienating.
The electoral act, as we advance was very much like a general election and the participation of independents, who doubled to members, and proves it, arriving at a final number of voters in 1613. Taking the victory, the current mayor Hugo Capdevila by 983 votes (61%), while Lucrecia "Picky" Cavanna received 610 votes (37.8%).
With the count complete, Hugo Capdevila claimed that "everything took place quietly, very democratic. He was convinced that he won, it felt a little nervous out there, but all good, quiet. Here there are no victors or vanquished, now we together working for the next general election. I believe that together we will go well. "
In relation to the changes that shone through the election results and the participation of residents, held that "Yes, of course, we will address them with Picky, with the votes that come out as a councilman, in good time, if changes are for good. "
As "Picky" Cavanna maintained "I've congratulated the Mayor for the win, but I consider it a triumph of the party and people for the important role that we have had in an internal, where people have turned en masse to vote, has been developed over the day a beautiful act, people who have had to wait in a queue without protest, decided to vote for one or another idea, but eager to participate. Then, we must conclude that it is moving the people to believe again that democracy is the way. "
Later, come the usual celebration with Mayor her to the center of town and the excitement in all its expression. Villa Giardino
In another massive electoral act, with a significant share of independents, which in this case tripled to members, the current mayor Juan José Ochoa's victory was gathering 752 votes (55.7%), while Marcelo Farri obtained 585 ( 43.33%).
After the election, Juan José Ochoa analyzed, "It was a surprising choice by their nature, unexpected by the number of independent citizens who flocked to participate, obviously in the spirit of participation and a clear decision to intervene in the selection of candidates municipal authorities for the next general election. I have found it extremely important to this sum and participation people, as we were walking down a road where people were reluctant to join, to take part in public affairs. I see this as beneficial and have validated a candidate, which it legitimizes and gives it value, characteristic of democracy. Now we have to agree with the other group, open space, and from the consensus, including dissent, to get to create a platform that is as close to thought and demands of residents. Happy, because everything has gone in order, in absolute peace and tranquility, ending the electoral process with a good relationship between both sectors. I think the party has been strengthened, I talked to Marcelo and everything indicates that it is the willingness of both sides to begin working together we understand to be the best thing that can happen to us as leaders, the party and the neighbors. " Meanwhile
Farri Marcelo, stated that "the truth that has been an excellent choice, we got a very good result after two months of campaigning have met the target that we set and now to work together for the UCR and by independents who have participated in a massive way. "
added that "the percentage achieved integration assures us and then we can add the proposals and work towards the interests of society, dignifying people is one of the reasons why we intervene in this. Moreover, the political climate that was lived, had long since not shown in Villa Giardino, mobilized the people, was somewhat outdated. I talked to Jose, we were both very happy because it was a good choice for both, and either one or the other we are winning, because this is so, and now to work together with the condition of the people to govern well. " .
The message of the independent participation
Although previous studies had advanced technical assistance an important independent voters to the internal elections of the Radical Civic Union, all in one way or another, they were surprised by the magnitude of it, which reached double the number of members in Huerta Grande Valle Hermoso and triple as in the case of Villa Giardino.
no doubt that political observers, who had been supporting the existence of a current intention to change in society, are at such high levels of participation, the right to confirm our perception. There remains the question of whether this necessary condition for change is running in the election of the candidate of a party, or if only part of that expression, because that elector that has no commitment to any political structure, you can continue selecting other space or so in the election itself general. So that there is no guarantee of loyalty in that vote, only been issued as a condition for the formulation of a given party structure, but not necessarily be taken as a final decision by the party benefited from such participation.
Another questions is linked to the case of political maturity of the electorate, or is a reaction caused by meager, if not null, intervention is allowed in the selection of candidates and leaders, as well as in making the incorporation of their demands on government decisions and impeded access to public information.
could continue with this exercise and will eventually have to, but try to establish, by far, the message that the voter has moved independently with this massive participation. First, it blows the hose trite political leaders that "people do not want to participate," what really happens is that they hide behind this false statement to keep closed, tight, supporters spaces debate, because they can not to be criticized for not accepting suggestions, because they fear possible speculated brilliant mind that something they had not even considered, because it is easier to explain and enforce above all because they are not willing to anyone coming to challenge their power.
After the first expressions of change from the center of the electorate Punilla Valley, you'd better put their beards to soak, and begin immediately to bring about changes in attitude that people are waiting. Because if it is true that all officers supporters won the election by the difference obtained in the rolls of affiliates, and for the myopic and arrogant as ever "nothing changed", the fact is that independents joined the party that the leadership renewal spared (There were two radical bastions as are Huerta Grande and Villa Giardino, both led by true leaders), that the radicalism and circuit que fueron a internas, los que obviamente, en alguna medida, quedan a salvo. No quisiera estar en los pantalones de aquellos dirigentes que obviaron la selección anticipada de los candidatos, menos aún de aquellos que detentan los gobiernos, porque esos ya no tienen otra posibilidad, tendrán que superar este humor electoral de cambio que presenta la sociedad en las urnas de la elección general.
A cuántos habrá comenzado a temblarles la pera cuando comenzaron a analizar las causas del resultado electoral del domingo pasado, sólo escapan, en escasa medida, los sectores que han estructurado sus listados con la mayor incorporación de vecinos que ocupados por los devenires de la política y conscientes de que está es la suitable tool to achieve the happiness of the people entering the political framework, in fact, with intent to cause changes, and those structures that somewhat attentive or by chance, have balanced the "experience" with the renovation.
The barrage of change through mass participation seems to be running, begin to evaluate its impact in the upcoming elections. NH
