The secretary general of the Colorado departmental branch, Fabián Etchelar, described the battle as “a milestone in the birth of the Colorado banner” and highlighted values such as freedom, the Republic, democracy, respect for institutions and commitment to progress.
According to what was published by El Telégrafo, Etchelar also stated that the Colorado and Batllista tradition holds that the party is at the service of the Republic and that, from the opposition, its commitment must be to contribute, propose and build.
