Finally, Álvaro Delgado had to give in: he wanted to simultaneously seize party and legislative power, but he was left wanting.
Thus, this Monday he announced his resignation from his seat in the Senate, after weeks of intense internal tension within the Partido Nacional.
A rejected leader
In June, when Álvaro Delgado was elected president of Partido Nacional, boos erupted and several delegates left the room, visibly outraged by the outcome of the vote.
During the process, shouts accusing him of being a "traitor" were heard, along with expressions of concern for the future of the political force, with phrases such as "Poor my Partido Nacional," which reflected the deep rejection from a significant part of the party base.

This rejection is reasonable: in 2022, when he was Secretary of the Presidency, he had proudly stated: "I'm not nor will I be the right wing of Partido Nacional".
The discontent grew even further when, during his candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic, Delgado chose Valeria Ripoll, a former communist leader and unionist, as his running mate.
