Just as the State Department decided to stall the process by stabbing the second force in the race, the former first lady announced she was suspending her campaign “out of solidarity” with voters.
“We will not take advantage of the situation, even though we were eliminated in the second ballot,” he assured after the Supreme Electoral Court officially announced the results.
After the relief that the intervention of the Constitutional Court brought to the country’s democracy, Torres last Saturday began his contacts with the people of the municipality of San José Pinula in the capital department.
At the event, held at Pinulteco Mixed High School, she was joined by members of the Blue, Creo and Republican parties.
He conveyed to those present that Guatemala needs unity and not more confrontation, polarization or fighting.
However, he urged his supporters not to bother with politicians who are “aligned with a radical left and want to appropriate young people”.
If he succeeds on August 20, he hinted that the nation would win, as these votes are not about choosing a party, “but about the people, the country and the future of the children.”
“Guatemala must not be left in the hands of a radical group,” he stressed.
Before visiting San José Pinula, he attended San Juan de Dios General Hospital where he came into the children’s department and spent time with the children and their families.
According to the candidate, this was not part of her campaign, but a job she does frequently, “including at Christmas.”
“We are the only group that formed a government that really helped the people, with experience and knowledge of the nation,” he stressed on social networks that day.
“We are not a political party that emerged as an emerging party,” he said.
Torres arrived in the eastern department of Chiquimula this Sunday offering 700 quetzales (around $100) for single mothers and 500 (just over $60) for the elderly.
She said she faces the challenge of winning the presidency and called for support to become Guatemala’s first female president because “the third time is the appeal,” she explained.
Torres used the days of waiting for the official results of the June 25 vote to address different sectors, always with the discourse on the protection of life and private property.
In the meetings, she included the elected and re-elected mayors of her political force, while being very active on her Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok profiles.
Most notably in the first campaign, he aggressively promoted the “Sandra Presidenta” and “You’ll Get Better” labels and made several offers to voters.
