Julián Vega Is Reported Over Delivery of Air Conditioners That Would Belong to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Mariano Roque Alonso
A video circulating on social media shows a confrontation between the Colorado candidate and a citizen during a conciliation hearing. According to Última Hora, the man accused him of using equipment that would belong to the Prosecutor's Office for campaign purposes.
The Colorado candidate for mayor of Mariano Roque Alonso, Julián Vega, became embroiled in a complaint after the circulation of a video on social media in which a citizen accuses him of having delivered air conditioners that, according to that claim, would belong to the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
According to Última Hora, the recording was made during a conciliation hearing at a district office of the Prosecutor’s Office. In that exchange, the complainant reproaches Vega for having “taken sides” with a situation unrelated to him and warns him that he would have evidence that could harm him in the middle of the campaign for the municipal elections on October 4.
Still according to that outlet, the citizen, who withheld his identity for fear of reprisals, also questioned the councilor’s reliability and criticized what he described as a lack of education. The conciliation ultimately did not move forward.
In the video, Vega denies having appropriated property belonging to others and rejects the idea that he is campaigning with those equipment. According to Última Hora, on his social media the leader appears in repeated deliveries of air conditioners.
The complaint spread widely in citizen groups and sectors of the PLRA, amid the electoral campaign in Mariano Roque Alonso. Vega is seeking the mayor’s office in that city, currently governed by Carolina Aranda.
Última Hora also noted that in the race for the municipality, Marcelo Salinas, backed by several opposition parties; Ralo Aveiro, an ANR leader who is running as an independent; and Manuel Martínez, for the Movimiento Departamental Unidos Podemos, are competing.
