As the keynote speaker at the Manuel Arsenio Ureña business conference, a breakfast event held in Santiago, current Vice President Raquel Peña told her audience that “[she] dreamed of walking up the stairs of the Presidential Palace as the President.”
Speaking on the topic of “Women Leaders Pushing Sustainable Economies,” Peña said that when she was asked by a reporter when she became the Vice President if she “had ever dreamed of such a thing?” She said “no”.
And she went on. “Now this question you are asking about dreaming about waking up those stairs as President? The answer is yes.”
She did not, however, say whether she would contend in the presidential primary of the ruling Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM).
Several PRM government officers have expressed their interest in being the ruling party presidential candidate in the 2028 presidential elections. Among these are Tourism Minister David Collado, National District Mayor Carolina Mejia, Customs Agency director Eduardo Sanz Lovaton, Indotel board president Guido Gomez Mazara.
