In a new election day in the province of Buenos Aires, different political referents approached the polls to fulfill their civic duty and send messages to the citizens. Among them, the Mayor of three of February, Diego Valenzuela, and the Communal Chief of Quilmes, Mayra Mendoza, who agreed to highlight the importance of democratic participation.
Valenzuela, first candidate for Senator for Libertad advances in the first section, voted in the morning at the San Carlos Borromeo school in Sáenz Peña. After issuing his suffrage, he highlighted the role that he has to fulfill in provincial policy: “9 and a half years ago we govern in three of February, I am very happy for what we did here, I think we transform the district. Now I have a new role that is to be a candidate representing the Buenos Aires, and I exercise it with great pride and responsibility”.
The libertarian leader also stressed the value of suffrage in a democracy: “When democracy is expressed, that’s sacred”he said, while referring to the political context of recent days: “There was a political noise in recent weeks, as always happens before the election, to distract the electorate and not talk about the state of the province. I will not describe it because I want to be respectful of a state that really hurts.”.
For his part, Mayra Mendoza, maybe of Quilmes and candidate for the third provincial deputy of Force Patria for the Third Electoral Section, voted at Ezpeleta Primary School No. 52. From there he called the Buenos Aires to actively get involved in the process: “The expectation we have is that people participate, that today the citizens of the province of Buenos Aires choose, that no one is angry or frustrated at home, but that we enforce our right to exercise the vote, to choose our representatives”.
The Kirchner leader framed the day as a democratic party: “It is a democratic day, and also accompanies us a beautiful climate, it is a day to live as a family, I am living so, and that is what we want to convey today”.
Finally, he appealed to militancy and collective commitment as a engine of change: “An always appeals as a political militant for society to organize, participate and get involved. First because I believe that problems always have a resolution or a collective exit and that ‘no one is saved alone’, as the Eternaluta said. Then you have to get involved, you have to participate, and also strengthen our democracy, which cost us all all and all and all”.
In this way, Valenzuela and Mendoza, from confronted political spaces, agreed to send a common message: that citizen participation and vote remain the fundamental tools to strengthen democracy.
