Delgado says National Party will return to government in three years at the head of coalition

Álvaro Delgado told National Party supporters gathered at Masoller that the party would return to government “within three years,” leading a coalition. He made the statement during the traditional horseback march in Rivera, where he led a ceremony honoring white caudillo Aparicio Saravia.

Delgado called for the National Party to “open up” and bring in more young activists. He said the march had drawn noticeably more young people than previous editions, including parents bringing their children to experience what the party feels each September.

“

Within three years.

He described the event as more than a celebration. Participants arrive on horseback, with more than 2,000 horses at this year’s march, because they want to be part of it, he said. The gathering represents a sense of belonging, identity and a cause based on freedom.

“

Open up.

Referring to the National Party’s 190th anniversary, Delgado urged members to celebrate and commit themselves to visiting the entire country and listening to people. He said the party needed to serve as a channel for representing more citizens, making that responsibility one for both leaders and activists.

Delgado also said the party would continue its parliamentary role as a “firm opposition to this government.” He expressed pride in lawmakers’ work overseeing the government and presenting proposals. He linked future decentralization proposals to the causes for which Saravia fought, while criticizing what he described as the government’s lack of direction.

A firm opposition to this government.
