election in an act which did not provide new meaning and concluded as a new party democracy, voters faldenses decided on a change in the ruling party by declaring the triumph of the Radical Civic Union by a margin of 703 votes surprise on the ruling alliance Union for Córdoba.
The election campaign had been marked by statements they did notice a pre-set difference between the two traditional parties followed by the Civic Front and all reflected the expectation that they showed this mystery, which was only resolved in the count. The fact is that polarized the election concluded at the last moment, between the traditional adversaries and so the remaining deals were widely favored. That is, analysis that anticipated the Federal Solidarity Action Front would be a collector of dissident Peronist votes were rejected, as are the possibilities that are envisioned for the Civic Front and the Front Neighborhood La Falda.
The biggest loser by polarization was the Civic Front, depending on whether it was a place that must develop policies and put forward ideas and projects adjusted to the demand of the voters, as was so the government candidate change their previously announced and incorporated in his speech of those proposals . Neighborhood
Front Skirt, and renewing power, had a tough baptism, as pointed out before, but it is disappointing the electoral base of support he got and that with a constant and steady work can be extended.

Marcos Sestopal, outgoing mayor
"I assume the cost of this defeat"
Following the disclosure of election results, Mayor Mark Sestopal convened press conference in the bus station, where he said that " first want to thank everyone who participated in the election and particularly to the militants who have worked for the continuation of this project, which failed to give, and acknowledge the success of our radical friends. We in the twelve years we've been in government, in my case eight, we have worked to create a different city, which has development and progress, today we sit here with a sense of sadness, because we have together, because people wanted another type of government. Well, we in the opposition will continue to work hard to continue building a better future for all. We will leave a good government to our friends, Cacho is a personal friend, as Mainero the crazy and wish you every success in its management for the community of La Falda. "
Asked whether he expected a difference and that marked the final numbers, said that "not all surveys gave us favorable, who knows what had happened. We believe that people accompanied us to the independent accompanied us, obviously not, that's the result. I emphasize that the radical work together and this is a radical city. We have handled the twelve years, these eight have been the best in the city of La Falda, hope to continue working from the plain of the best way possible. " Required
why was not accompanied by the candidate, maintained that "I assume the cost of this defeat. I am responsible, I am the current mayor and I think then cold, candidates will have time to reflect and understand a little what happened to us. But, well, everything you did for this city believed that people would escort us and that has not happened. "
As for how this transition will unfold, said "we're going to keep working, we will finish the work we have in the pipeline, until 1 September when the town deliver accordingly, with all audits they want to do, I have no problem can review and control, we are calm. What if, we'll end up with commitments, complete with sports because it is a significant work for the city. "
In relation to the pose of surrender made by Daniel Buonamico to understand that the result displayed a clear negative rating for its management, argued that it "do I know ... after all we did in tourism, if Daniel does not want to follow, hopefully with the course of hours to reflect, because otherwise we will not have the Secretary of Tourism ... it seems that this is a city that bet on tourism and wants to work in neighborhoods, well, we are dedicated to working in the neighborhoods, this is the feeling has ceased and are issues that must be seen ... one wants, loves the city, all this love that people have for us, this image as high of almost 70% acceptance demonstrates a commitment and we will comply with the until the last moment. "
Referring to what city has to give the new authorities, said: "This is a city that has grown, it collects very well, which has developed in every way, which is the second resort town in the province, a lot of work done to enjoy, well, we leave a city that is not the same as that received us. So, when we arrived the city was abandoned in debt, full of problems, had activity disappeared, people want to go because he had not worked, we leave a city where hard to find people to work, although it seems that was not enough because people did not accompany us. "
Finally, when asked if legislators seek a candidacy, he replied "I do not know what I think, after a defeat as it is you feel very disappointed and she is not willing to work, the military. The town of La Falda not accompanied me, he could not appreciate what you did, and I have to take some time to analyze what caused this, the positive image of anything not good enough then not vote for us. "
Contradictions
Surely the election outcome was stroke of emotions and analysis found in the mind of Mayor Sestopal because La Voz published under the caption "Self-criticism" the following phrase "the mayor of La Falda, Sestopal Marcos, took over the defeat:" We chose the wrong candidate (Daniel Buonamico), because people did not want. Caserio government and wanted an independent and asked me to convince 'Juancho' Viglione, but I did not press him. I assume my responsibility. " He also said that influenced the attitude of a Peronist group "that had union support, it did not work in the campaign and worked on Sunday against. " Whereupon
press on Buonamico first decision was to resign. Box
Eduardo "Cacho" Arduh, elected mayor
"It is our victory, nobody else, we did walk, visiting house to house, with faith in dialogue with Ecos
Punilla, Eduardo Arduh regarding when glimpsed Win, maintained that "we believed we could win the election, yes. The most optimistic of the group spoke of winning by 600, 700 votes. I believed we could win, but not for that difference. Just felt we could win when a prosecutor we left the first table of Molina and told me we won by 31 votes, is the second and we won by fifteen, the prosecutor is a table of Molina, who was always adverse, and tells me we tied at 91, there I said it was possible after came the rest and I think we lost only two tables and a tie. After seven in the afternoon I began to feel that we won. I think people decided the polarization in the darkroom. We had 1600 people noted that they were going to vote or we were related, after control of those voters 90% voted for us, there was, then, 2,000 people with whom we spoke, but were on their own, independent voters turned vote for us including many Peronist. At the door of schools, there were many people who told me they brought me, but I voted for you. We do not mobilize 3,600 people, or even 2,500, so there were many committed to the other parties and independents voted for us we are also supported. We have received support from the people from downtown and neighborhoods, I am pleasantly surprised and grateful. "
As for the reasons that led to the defeat of the Union for Córdoba, declared that "to me two things, the wind of change is something that blows hard, after two periods in a row even though there was another candidate that wears much there was a feeling of lack of transparency in all the electorate, that the people we passed it on to pull it out, pull it out, and I think that upset about the obscene advertising and propaganda, a lot of dough, much equipment down, a lot of material, bags, electronics, money, and worth hype a city of 150,000 inhabitants, that bothered, but the feeling of change was installed before that, if something was needed to tilt the vote in our favor, it was these things. It was symptomatic hear people say I pick what I give, but the vote is yours .... "
As for the significance that took the election results, said "I think the significance is given the fact that the first election in the province, therefore emblematic, iconic for the leader of Carlos Caserio, a choice had, as never before in history, three visits from the governor within ten days, she came De La Sota, because it strongly supported candidates ... who provincializing the election were the leaders of the Union for Córdoba, Schiaretti, De La Sota and Caserio, after the election, obviously Aguad not stop the gravy train. So much so, that yesterday (Monday) I went to the Central Committee of the Province of Cordoba and saw the day polls that determined a 4% growth of the intention to vote for Aguad. Anyway, I'm glad that works for you UCR to Cordoba, if it serves the national level in good time, but this victory is ours, we did walk, visiting house to house, with faith, with good people and putting your face ... when she banged the door to people we received unimpeded, visited one hundred ninety-five of us received, and no, we said they were Peronist or wanted nothing to do with politics. So it was, people knew us and told us what they wanted or needed, and so we set up the platform ... it is our victory, nobody else, the militants, members of the list, I'm proud of them, people first and the militants have left this life. " Retrieved
by those who accompany him in the executive branch, argued that "I ask hours, do not know if I can give you the scoop on Saturday or the other, when you're with Mario (Thibault) in the program, I do it there because you have treated me very respect, not other colleagues ... then, I will afford to do to you, though, nothing else, the first names to the Cabinet ... if there is team work, which is already asking the government plan, and that team will who accompany me on executive function. "
Referring to recognize those who have accompanied by intention, he said, "I am proud be the first candidate to reach without going through internal consensus that it does, I appreciate the concrete efforts by the Party who made historic leaders, such as Enrico Perez, Raul Baccola, Juan Carlos Herrero and many more that escape my memory , joined all without exception, there will be a one or two percent of radicals who remained outside, but, well, everyone has their reasons, do not judge or criticize them ... then much power this with the addition of Alberto Mainero it was a blow of significant effects for society and Susana Ghilardi, which, perhaps, in a low spot for your career, but since their work provided humility. " Required
by the first government to take decisions as to assume, declared that "we face a political decision in the early days, the formation of the secretariat of Tourism, the composition of the Board of Polo Sport and Cultural Development, are immediate measures ... expect to access, well before 1 September, the municipal administration. I think it should be and hoped that the Mayor will make possible in order to manage some internal issues that we would save much time. Other priority measures is the Integrated Survey of La Falda, house by house, to meet the unmet basic needs met, housing, education, location food, which will allow us to decide the list of priorities to address in this regard. "
Finally he said "I want again to rescue who have treated me with respect, I have appointed you and Mario and not because you were here, there was respect for the media and others not so, no matter who, is not the case, and political attitudes that make civic duty of La Falda, Don Juan Carlos Ottobre who went to greet the committee and the respect of members of the New Party when we left the caravan to applaud their premises are things that make me think that there is hope for the skirt and its people, and through you I am very grateful to them.

Without considering at all the proceedings of the Municipal Electoral Board of the skirt in the recent election of municipal authorities, but considering that during the process became unable to participate, for reasons formally, the Federal Neighborhood Union Party, is that with the reduction to be observed in political parties, it is thought that in the future will be more turnout intentions that arise from the neighborhood.

Has been overdrawn, this time, the deployment generated through the media messages with the provincial government seal, which was not reached the closure, but with clear implications for the local polls, as well as the alleged disclosure of information surrounding the clear intention of propaganda.

A final surprise first
the electoral result of the Skirt, the last Sunday. Surprise by the magnitude of the difference established, just over seven hundred votes, when all to assume, even during the election, the result would be adjusted to Cordoba Union for Radical Civic Union. Uncertainty existed until the election began to reveal the secretive intention to change that kept the faldenses until they cast their ballots. But it came to brewing since long time.
We measured the views of residents in September 2010, the faldenses there told us they thought as well to the management of Mark Sestopal at a rate of 53%, also said that the mayor's image was damaged completely and utterly determined that gas works and refurbishment of Eden Avenue did not produce the political mileage that the Executive stated that the Municipal Hospital was the main failure of the administration. Also, this survey determined that the intent of voters favored the Radical Civic Union, when asked which party would vote in the next compulsive, determined with two percentage points Union above Cordoba and noting that 37% of those who said they voted to UPC in 2007 were not going to do, what to assume that the growth potential of radicalism were open.
This view, of course, remained dormant and quiet to the entry into the dark room, and did not change despite the works, and official party publicity materialized without regard to cost and the no less estimable promises that were made in the process election. Why
Union lost
Córdoba More than this, we must add that, as entered in the pre-election, the ruling party began to suffer strong internal stress the appointment of his candidate, who took the initiative in this direction was Miguel Maldonado appeared endorsed by domestic sectors a man who sought authentic Justicialist there, for those with whom he had related in the context of management by those who felt prepared to deal with good governance and those who believed it was his chance. But this could not be, is operated to insert a negative opinion, we believe that "drew" some opinion polls and when no other argument appealed to "The skirt does not want, or support, a black mayor, the stupidity at its most expression. So Daniel was installed as the official Buonamico star, beyond their affiliation, and I ended up placing as a candidate. When presenting his candidacy was evident that the match did not go Buonamico, but the die was cast and went on. Closing presentation of lists brought the next surprise, the bid to integrate the formula for Pedro Oscar Agost, another man stood in and outside the party, and who had been driving the Peronist trade union front space appearing as an enclave dispute the Peronist vote did not want to lose the ruling party supporter. The election of the Peronist political base ended faldense of angry and resentful, and there were those who began to glimpse the possibility of defeat. However, the basic Peronism has coalesced under even in difficult times and, more or less momentum, won support for their candidates. Which in turn deployed all marketers architecture, which to some extent, caught and blew minds. This, combined with last-minute works, patching, land clearing, paving, asphalting Ferrarini Avenue, started the sports center, promises to be won or lost, contracts for all the world go by signing the homes (?) returns to the continuity of gas work in neighborhoods that are far from receiving in the short term, etc.. etc. etc. More presence, standing nearly Governor Juan Schiaretti to open works and supporting candidates. The noise was intense and not skimping supporters, municipal and provincial, a fortune was spent on the campaign and in the last two weeks in particular, did not meet the errors of the past, both politically and in the functional, could more and the negative election result was strong and merciless. Why
UCR won the radicalism started with all the uncertainties in tow. We play real possibility of equal vote of the electorate, the question that was unveiled. But in reasonable shape, determined that seek unity, which would avoid the infighting, and prepared to initially listed in the column after figures Kessler and Luis Eduardo "Cacho" Arduh that appeared in the interest of leading the list. The intention was gaining strength as the moves appeared inside the accommodating wayward silenced within the listing. Kessler disagreed with some of these negotiations and how they are driving the process, deciding to step aside and called for silence.
determining candidacy for mayor of Arduh and the network of support, added a figure in the electoral deadweight, Susana Ghilardi with its load of experience and full readiness duo formed a high solvency with the candidate.
was, then, when radicalism won the all-weather road, visiting neighborhoods, making contact with the neighbor, spreading his proposal and scoring errors Sestopal administration. Thus they were convinced that this question had initial favorable response, they could not weigh it, but they were infused with spirit, enthusiasm and militancy of dormant, for years, began to revitalize and bring them closer to victory. Non-party
Gabriel inclusions Massheimer and finally, forming the formula, Alberto Mainero, we amplitude given image space.
In summary, the recovery of militancy, a strong message and image amplitude punishment vote the current administration gave the victory to the Radical Civic Union.
But this is not the end, is just the beginning, which should be closely following the development of management as of September 1 it will assume the newly elected authorities, first, to know what they are, then to know what the address of priorities, after, and in this we must pay close attention to establish the unity of purpose in the action and above all, whether to realize the government's dialogue with the neighbors who have been promised.
A New Hope is in place, faldenses, all with responsibility, seriousness and participation must be safeguarded so as not to become a new frustration. NH

The doors closed and got the usual applause, board officials came to the opening of envelopes and subsequent counting of votes batteries were armed and the first rumor was "polarized" the second "will stick stick ", the most active opponents approached the third tax" on two tables above, recently, UCR, "the fourth" no difference in favor of radicalism, "Union prosecutors Córdoba began to take seriously, and their faces showed distress One of the most important leaders of the ruling came, it was red, and I whispered "lost in almost every table," and was the result of the first table, a difference of 17 votes in favor of radicalism, the second differed by 51 votes for the UCR and then the tendency is marked and "there is no possibility of reversing" determined the triumph of the red and white currency began to wave over the trucks.
is announcing the arrival of Oscar Aguad, Ramon Mestre, La Falda transcended to the national and provincial levels.
Eduardo "Cacho" Arduh hugged his wife and activists struggled to approach her, so did every of those who walked the street and suffered a few hours before, but now revitalized, they gained new strength and burst into hugs, laughter and tears. It was time the long-awaited triumph, when the motorcade to greet those who were turning to the streets to participate in the celebration and the suggestion "Please, with restraint and respect, democracy has won, the people ..." . After the singing, speakers, rain-playing, more hugs, more laughter, more tears of joy, opened a new hope ....
