00:07It is Elsa Noguera, with her is our special enviada, Luz Helena Ramos.
00:12Let's go, Luz Helena, good morning.
00:15Hello, Juan Diego, good morning.
00:17Well, so is, with more than 224,000 votes, the candidate of the party Cambio Radical is the new alcaldesa
00:22of the Atlantic.
00:23We refer to Elsa Noguera, who joins us here at Noticias Caracol.
00:28It's a very good day.
00:28Congratulations.
00:29She was celebrating this afternoon, but she is here.
00:32Congratulations.
00:33Yes, I am very happy with the election of yesterday.
00:36It was a historic day for Barranquilla, especially for women,
00:40because it is the first time to vote for popular vote for a woman.
00:46What does that mean for us, Barranquilla?
00:49It is a historic day.
00:50Yes, indeed, much commitment, much dedication,
00:54for that women of Barranquilla are very well represented
00:57and that in four years, everyone can say that it was worth voting for a woman.
01:02Well, what is the first thing that is going to do for Barranquilla?
01:05What is the first problem to solve?
01:07It is the first time to solve the social debt.
01:09We have to continue to support those groups that more need,
01:12the populations that more require the presence of the state.
01:15So we are proposing to close the social gap,
01:19but also to open the competitiveness to the competitiveness.
01:22Barranquilla is called to play a leadership role,
01:25to be the capital of the free trade trade,
01:28to be able to get a lot of investment public and private
01:31so that everyone can achieve a formal job,
01:34and to be able to do it.
01:35There is a lot of people who say that you are a continuism,
01:39but people say that you are a continuism positive.
01:41What do you think?
01:42So, yesterday, the results indicated two things.
01:46The first one is the recognition and, in some way,
01:51the way to premiate the results of a government that has been successful.
01:56We have to continue with that style of government that has demonstrated
02:00that when we manage the money with seriedad,
02:03with efficiency, with commitment, with honesty,
02:06the money reaches, the jobs are made,
02:08and the city progresses.
02:10But it takes a lot, and so we have to continue,
02:13but to consolidate and complement the tasks that are still there.
02:17Who is Elsa Noguera, the new alcaldesa of Barranquilla?
02:20Elsa Noguera is a barranquillera economist,
02:24convinced that if this city continues to be administrating
02:28with much seriedad,
02:30we will be again one of the most important cities of Colombia,
02:34but mainly the capital of the free trade trade
02:38that will connect to Colombia with the world.
02:41Alcaldesa, thank you very much for joining us.
02:43It is, of course, of the great triumphs of Elsa Noguera.
02:46She is economist at the University of Javeriana,
02:49she was a secretary of departmental in the government
02:51of Carlos Rodado and secretary of Hacienda Distrital,
02:55the first woman to choose the barranquilleros.
02:58From the capital of the Atlantic,
02:59Luz Helena Ramos, Noticias Caracol.
