The candidate Marcelo Orrego, from the United for San Juan group, linked to Together for Change at the national level, surpassed the official San Juan for All list this Sunday in the provincial gubernatorial elections. The victory of the opposition will put an end, in this way, to almost 20 years of Peronist hegemony.
“I come to recognize the triumph of Together for Change in San Juan”Governor Sergio Uñac told the press. “I have had a communication with Marcelo Orrego. I have congratulated him and I have been available to start the transition when they deem it appropriate. We are at your entire disposal so that the transition is as orderly as possible.”
The results of the elections in San Juan
“I want to thank all the people of San Juan who trusted us,” in his first statements as governor-elect. “We know that they have not given us trust, they gave it to us. This governor is going to work absolutely with everyone, regardless of political ideology. I have come to politics to work, fulfill and do.”
“I came to politics to build, work, comply, do. The fight between politicians does not solve a single problem for the people,” he added in his first speech after the electoral triumph over the local official Peronism.
The pre-candidate for president for Together for Change Patricia Bullrich celebrated Orrego’s triumph on her Twitter account: “WE WON SAN JUAN! Congratulations Marcelo, and the entire San Juan team of Together for Change! There was no apparatus, no change of rules, no power to stop the people’s desire for change. Thank you Saint John for this historic day.”
The head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, traveled to San Juan to participate in the celebration and sent from the Juntos por el Cambio bunker “a great congratulations to all San Juan residents who dared to change.”
Larreta stressed that the governor-elect is an example of work, a guy who works and toured the province.”
Sergio Uñac recognized “the triumph of Together for Change” in San Juan
“I know that he prepared for that and he is going to bring about a profound change in San Juan. We are going to work together in the national government. San Juan is going to be one of the engines of Argentina’s recovery,” he said. “This is one more example of the importance of adding and adding. Working together, and adding up, is how we are going to beat Kirchnerism in Argentina.”
Minutes before, from Twitter, the head of government had celebrated the triumph of JXC against the PJ: “The same ones govern the province and once again they tried all possible traps to continue perpetuating themselves in power. But today the people of San Juan said ENOUGH. I am convinced that the way to put an end to cheating, privilege and backwardness is with a broad and plural coalition.”
President Alberto Fernández also congratulated the governor-elect and said that “he has the challenge of working to guarantee the growth and development of the province ahead of him.” “I am confident that he will,” he added.
Who is Marcelo Orrego, the elected governor of San Juan
The brand new governor is a 48-year-old lawyer from the University of Córdoba, who currently occupies a seat in the Senate for Together for Change. Previously, he served as adviser to Roberto Basualdo in the National Chamber of Deputies. Both are leaders of the Production and Work party which, since 2015, has been part of the Cambiemite coalition.
In addition, Orrego was mayor of the city of Santa Lucía between 2011 and 2019. He was also an Argentine Judo champion and played soccer for Club Atlético de la Juventud Alianza.
This Sunday, Orrego voted at noon at the Carlos Pellegrini school in the provincial capital. There, he declared that he would annul the Law of Slogans, which he defined as “a law of cheating. Those who get the most votes do not end up winning, but the party grouping that accumulated the most votes. Likewise, he promised to send “a plebiscite so that the governor lasts four years in his functions.”
