Orlando Jorge Villegas’ endorsement of David Collado: A step towards 2028?
The internal political landscape of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) has begun to generate expectations ahead of the 2028 presidential elections. On this occasion, communicator Julio Alberto Martínez analyzed the recent statement by leader Orlando Jorge Villegas, who openly expressed his support for the presidential aspirations of the current Minister of Tourism, David Collado.
During an appearance on the Visión Global Media program, Jorge Villegas left no room for doubt when he pointed to Collado as his preferred figure to head the ruling party’s ticket in the next electoral cycle. According to Martínez’s analysis, this gesture transcends the anecdotal and symbolizes an important convergence between the new generation of PRM cadres and the political project led by the Tourism minister.
A trajectory that makes a difference
Martínez underscored the relevance of this endorsement by considering the political lineage of Jorge Villegas, grandson of former president Salvador Jorge Blanco and son of the well-remembered leader Orlando Jorge Mera. For the communicator, the decision to publicly manifest in favor of Collado is a strategic move that alters the internal dynamics of the political organization.
Jorge Villegas’ stance reflects a shift in his political involvement and greater exposure in the debate over the PRM’s 2028 presidential candidacy, marking a milestone in his role within the party.
