“I want to thank all the people of San Juan who trusted us,” in his first statements as governor-elect. “We know that they have not given us trust, they gave it to us. This governor is going to work absolutely with everyone, regardless of political ideology. I have come to politics to work, fulfill and do.”
“I came to politics to build, work, comply, do. The fight between politicians does not solve a single problem for the people,” he added in his first speech following the electoral triumph over the local official Peronism.
The pre-candidate for president for Together for Change Patricia Bullrich celebrated Orrego’s triumph on her Twitter account: “WE WON SAN JUAN! Congratulations Marcelo, and the entire San Juan team of Together for Change! There was no apparatus, no change of rules, no power to stop the people’s desire for change. Thank you Saint John for this historic day.”
The head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, traveled to San Juan to participate in the celebration and sent from the Juntos por el Cambio bunker “a great congratulations to all San Juan residents who dared to change.”
