Oaxaca. State leaders of the PAN, PRD, Convergence Party and PT confirmed their alliance for the 2010 local elections.
Meeting at a restaurant in the north of the city, they presented the candidates who will contend for the state government led by Convergence Party Senator Gabino Cue Monteagudo.
Also present were the remaining candidates: Federal Deputy for the New Alliance Party, Irma Piñeyro Arias; former Treasury Under-Secretary during President Ernesto Zedillo's term, Carlos Altamirano Toledo; and local PAN Deputy Gerardo Garcia Henestroza.
Carlos Moreno Alcantara, local leader of PAN, stated that the presentation of these candidates is confirmation of the progress of this great opposition alliance for next year's elections. In which "we will have to face the whole state apparatus that wants to maintain control of the power in Oaxaca."
"The differences have been many, on some occasions deep, and we have had to overcome past offenses derived from other electoral contenders. It has been hardwork to construct this alliance, but we have left our differences behind," he said.
Moreno Alcantara outlined "we are conscious that the breaking point of this alliance is the election of the government candidate but we are confident in the unity and responsibility that have been given preference in this selection process." Leaders of the PRD and Convergence Party, Amador Jara and Mario Flores, respectively, and the PT delegate, Daniel Juarez, agreed on the importance of involving civil society and Section 22 of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE).
"More than changing person or political party, this new alliance must represent a true change," said Cue.
