Reyes, Barreto and "barrestismo"
When Oscar Barreto Quiroga took office on January 2008, with it came a group of professionals - men and women of ample professional conditions, intellectual and political to lead a Department that was going through serious problems of security, infrastructure, basic services and whose economic development has not kept the best consistency between the capital (Ibague) and the region.
Barreto managed to focus on key issues, and implemented a governance style that emulated the then President Alvaro Uribe Vélez. Within months the image of good government was felt throughout the Department, and that progress towards key confidence Tolima was the presence of former secretary of Agricultural Development, Jaime Eduardo Reyes, who took office with responsibility for managing its portfolio impact projects rural, environmental, agricultural and social development. Reyes Barreto positioned the Government nationally, highlighting the Secretariat as one of the largest in the country.
But relations between Reyes and Barreto were violated when a government point of thought in the regional elections of 2011 and the group called "Jimmy" ring the candidacy of then Secretary-General, Mauricio Pinto, without giving a thorough debate some other names which contained Reyes Martínez.
affections between the Governor and that she shared with former Treasury Secretary Jaime Osorio entitled "SECRETARY STAR", it came under. Reyes was isolated from the political platform Barreto and "Jimmy" Pinto lapped with desire as a trophy that was not yet theirs. But what are the things in life, an inability to cut short the aspirations of Pinto and revived the candidacy of Ugly Duckling "Jimmy" but lis-hearted man in the village of Tolima, Jaime Eduardo Reyes.
The setback was that people close to the Governor from joining the despised aspiration until there came Reyes and his most loyal subjects. The campaign will be strengthened while some sectors of conservatism, scattered throughout the Tolima were not welcome the presence of the Barreto family and "Jimmy". The support of former Senator Gómez Gallo, sheds Uribe and other political groups could take once and for all ideal, and Reyes would be devoted to build with the people his government's agenda.
Everything was clear, unless Barreto and "Jimmy" they were going to play dirty, causing the collapse of the candidacy. In principle, he thought, after the failure temporarily rocked it and when the decision was given back. Reyes does not want to disappoint the Tolima acting as puppet candidate, so I prefer to decline their aspiration and from other activities to serve the Tolima as expressed in a statement to compile the following: "Under the guidance of God continue working with all my strength to our department to decrease poverty and improve the quality of life through education and productive transformation. "
So I felt this process that ends today for the good of Jaime Eduardo Reyes, which reaps huge doubts about the loyalty people Barreto Governor in dismissing his former boss and former secretary of debate, and that defines what is in essence the "Jimmy": something that fades into the air.
