Presidential candidate Luisa González surprised by declaring that businessman Jan Topic would be "welcome" in her potential government. The representative of the Citizen Revolution assured that she is willing to offer him a ministry or a role as an advisor if she wins the elections on April 13.
"If Jan Topic wants to be part of our government, wants to hold a State portfolio, wants to be an advisor, welcome", González stated in an interview. This gesture has been interpreted by analysts as a desperate attempt to broaden her electoral base amid declining support in recent polls.
The candidate of the correísmo also assured that she seeks a unity government, with the participation of businessmen and right-wing figures. However, this openness has caused questions from her own supporters, who see these actions as a contradiction with the historical principles of the movement.
González declared that even people who have felt persecuted by the correísmo now support her. "They tell me: 'Luisa, I don't know what I did, but they are persecuting me'", she mentioned, in a statement that reflects the level of uncertainty that still persists in her candidacy.
