Guido González is seeking a second term as mayor of Lambaré while presenting the municipality’s finances as his strongest argument. He said his administration brought stability to the city’s accounts and that this record would be decisive in winning back voters’ confidence.

In an interview broadcast on the program En Detalles, the Colorado Party candidate said he had focused on achieving economic and financial stability during his term. He also promised that a new term would bring major investments, particularly to improve Lambaré’s streets.

If reelected, he said he would use loans to finance public works, mainly road improvements. He maintained that the municipality had enough financial capacity to assume new commitments without putting its accounts at risk and could handle monthly installments of up to G. 300 million.

He also played down the possibility that the national political climate or the performance of other mayors could influence the election result.

I know how much the municipality can pay each month. I will not suffocate it with those loans either.
