Marcelo Malaquina, the Colorado Party candidate for mayor of Salto, cast his vote this Sunday morning at School No. 92, located in the Horacio Quiroga neighborhood. He arrived around 10:45 a.m., a few minutes before the scheduled voting time, and was greeted with warm gestures by residents and journalists present.
Without any hesitation or extensive entourage, the atmosphere was relaxed, with spontaneous greetings and exchanges between long-time acquaintances. It was one of those moments where politics steps down from the stage and merges with everyday life.
After voting, Malaquina shared a few words with the media, visibly moved by the work accomplished in recent months. “I said it a few days ago and I repeat it today: I am deeply moved by the commitment of my colleagues, the effort of the volunteers, and everything they have done to get here.
