UCCR finances presidential
hopes of José Miguel Villalobos? Part of the
strategy?
This morning's article in La Nacion (Friday 04 April 03) (http://www.nacion.com/ln_ee/2003/abril/04/pais11.html)
gives a possible clue to the strategy on the UCCR and the hiring
of JMV. Or, is the UCCR being led up the proverbial creek
without a paddle?
According to the article in La Nacion, it was he, José Miguel
Villalobos who contacted the paper to announce that he is forming a
new party and to run as a presidential candidate in the 2006
presidential elections.
Many still blame the government for all the problems associated
with the failed Enrique Villalobos (the Brothers) investment
operations. And many still praise Enrique and hope and pray for
a positive outcome.
A couple of months back we attended a meeting of the UCCR, where
José Miguel Villalobos was introduced to the investors in
attendance and a plan to raise the capital to hire José Miguel
Villalobos was outlined.
Since then, the UCCR was not able to raise the first $100.000,
however, José Miguel Villalobos elected to start work on the
case with the $61.000 raised and on the hopes that the rest
would come in due time.
He has
been spending the last couple of weeks - by his own
admission to La Nacion - touring the various parts of the
country listening to it's citizens. Uh?
If José
Miguel Villalobos
wins the election and does become president, well, he now will
have the power to undo all the wrong the government is being
accused of doing. He, in effect, will be the head of the
government and
will have the power to undo what the present government had
the power to do.
But will he? Will he even want to be associated with the
UCCR? or anyone who is/was an investor with "the
Brothers" for that matter? Or, by that time - some three
years from now - it will it really matter?
