Boos. Heki. Accusations.
At the Convention of the California Democratic Party in Anaheim over the weekend, some Latin American Democrats held a controversial referendum on their leaders – and won.
Nilza Serano, a consultant in Los Angeles, was elected chairman of the Latin American Party of the Party, disrupting longtime activist Carlos Alcalla, who has chaired a cause for more than a decade. Surano was among a dozen Latin American who won the leadership positions of the cucus during the Convention under the flag of La Nueva Voz – The New Voice of Spanish.
Instead of regulating political differences, the struggle was more recently a referendum on the style of leadership, as the current ones came across a platform that emphasizes their experience. But the victories of the newcomers have exposed a deep powerlessness among Latin American Democrats with Democratic Party Latin Studies Evilting Last November, as well as a widespread notion that the party failed to cement the support of Latinos. The Caucut is tasked with building the Latin American base for democratic candidates in California.
- SerranoTo reassure ourselves: “We did not receive the messages we had to extract (come out). There was no great effort to include younger people in the party and I think this is key to our success.”
The elections also followed intense drama between the operators of Caucous and the competitors, so sharp that the state party had to intervene. The challenges accused the alkali of infidelity, allowing some delegates to vote remotely, although they had no disability, in violation of the party’s party and cause. Party officials pronounced alkalla.
But the alkali has determined the decision and claims that remote voting is necessary to protect the delegates, terrified of flying due to its immigration status or those with limited income, attracting boos.
The battle of the Latin American Caucut was not the only sign of reading the Convention, as Democrats have lifted their wounds since November and managed to strengthen the party’s ground game before the challenging intermediate deadlines.
Young Democrats also expressed disappointment with Party’s failure to resonate with its age demographicS The Convention said that in order to mobilize young voters, party leaders and candidates, they need to focus on California’s accessibility problems, be ready to deal with progressive problems, and keep the messages simple.
