Quetzaltenango. 7 de septiembre de 2015<\/p>\n

El nuevo alcalde electo de Xela, Luis Grijalva, ha estado este medio d\u00eda en el parque central agradeciendo todo el apoyo recibido. Grijalva obtuvo una victoria decisiva, doblando en votos al siguiente rival m\u00e1s cercano. Con su partido, Encuentro por Guatemala, Grijalva tuvo un presupuesto de campa\u00f1a muy peque\u00f1o, entorno a los Q50,000 (6500$ aproximadamente), presupuesto superado en muchos ceros por la mayor\u00eda de sus contrincantes. El prefiri\u00f3 recorrer Xela repartiendo flyers y contestando a las preguntas de los quetzaltecos en mercados y plazas p\u00fablicas.<\/p>\n

Su c\u00f3moda victoria con una opci\u00f3n alternativa, un partido de izquierda que ha sido una de las grandes sorpresas en estas elecciones 2015. El nuevo alcalde sustituye a Rolando Barrientos Pallecer, que ha sido alcalde de Xela por 3 periodos de cuatro a\u00f1os. En el parque central, Grijalva y algunos miembros de su partido dieron peque\u00f1os discursos de agradecimiento en los que destacaron las ideas centrales de la campa\u00f1a de Grijalva: transparencia y compromiso de aumentar la participaci\u00f3n ciudadana en la pol\u00edtica municipal.<\/p>\n

Antes que Grijalva, habl\u00f3 uno de los miembros de su partido desafiando a la multitud diciendo: \u201cAcomp\u00e1\u00f1anos con consejos, reprimendas, con criticas constructivas.\u201d Animaba as\u00ed a la gente a participar en los foros abiertos f\u00edsicos o virtuales que Encuentro por Guatemala planea incorporar usando redes sociales como Facebook.<\/p>\n

Grijalva tambi\u00e9n desafiaba m\u00e1s tarde a los votantes diciendo, \u201cNo vayan a esperar que el alcalde va a venir y solucionar todo\u2026juntos vamos a transformar a Xela.\u201d Dijo a los votantes que tras las elecciones \u201ctienen una responsabilidad mucho m\u00e1s grande; tienen que acompa\u00f1arnos por cuatro a\u00f1os.\u201d Tambi\u00e9n se refiri\u00f3 a la espectacular victoria de Encuentro por Guatemala en Xela \u201ctodos pueden leer y escribir y esta es la gran diferencia.\u201d Atribuy\u00f3 la concienciaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica en cuanto al voto a las numerosas universidades y colegios de la ciudad \u201cla gente de Xela razona su voto\u2026la gente de Xela es pensante, la gente de Xela es inteligente.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n elogi\u00f3 a la ciudad, a sus medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y a los activistas que presionaron y organizaron debates p\u00fablicos entre candidatos, permitiendo as\u00ed a los ciudadanos conocerlos y juzgarlos con m\u00e1s conocimiento. Dijo entre aplausos, \u201cEn Estados Unidos, en Europa y otros pa\u00edses del mundo las campa\u00f1as se ganan en los debates, los foros, las entrevistas y hoy en Xela se ganan as\u00ed.\u201d<\/p>\n
