“I want to thank my 95-year-old mother and my family”: Rodolfo Suarez’s first words after learning of his victory distilled emotion. Not surprisingly: on Sunday it meant a dose of oxygen after the national STEPS, which had reflected lousy numbers for forces linked to Together for Change.
“Mendoza is a hope for the country” (Rodolfo Suarez)
This time there were other guarismos and that is why the party in the official bunker was capital. Cambia Mendoza made a good choice and the “Rody” – who is currently mayor of the Capital – did not disguise his joy:
“It has been a support for the good government of Alfredo Cornejo and the recovery of the state,” said Suarez, who expanded the focus by stating that “Mendoza is a hope for all of us but for the country as well.”
Suarez thanked Cornejo and said that “Argentina needs more than Mendoza”
In some sections, the winner’s words seemed like a message to the national destination. “We have shown the Mendozas that we know how to do things. But Argentina needs more of Mendoza, because we tell the truth. We are honest and do what we say,” he said.
Suarez anticipated that his government will keep Cornejo management officials. “We have great challenges, because Alfredo leaves us a very high stick,” he said.
In the end he threw out some definitions. “We know that the things that cost are the things that are worth it. Thinking that puts us away from populism. We have to get out of the idea that with the internal market we’re going to live. We are going to give priority to Portezuelo del Viento, to the investment in infrastructure and the order that this country needs.”
Untied cornejo
Exultant, Cornejo took the opportunity to fire criticism scrimmels against the presidential candidate for the Front of All, Alberto Fernández.
“They don’t come back better, but worse than before” (Alfredo Cornejo)
“Throughout this campaign, Fernandez used enormous paraphernalia to nationalize the election. He wanted to come and tell the Mendozas how to vote, and with that he proved that they don’t come back better, but worse than before. No one takes charge of the galloping corruption in Kirchnerism,” he said.
The current governor ripped away phrases with a tone that had been saved in recent weeks:
“We know,” Cornejo closed, “that in this day and age the word is worthless. Pancakes are the order of the day. We’re here to regain our trust. What we say in private, we say in public. And we don’t promise anyone free stuff.”
Meanwhile, President Mauricio Macri greeted the results through a tweet:
