Deputy Carlos Saldaña was expelled from the 'Vamos' coalition after voting in favor of Omar Castillo for the position of Deputy Comptroller of the Republic. This decision went against the official stance of his caucus and immediately led to his departure from the political group. The 'Vamos' coalition announced the split through an official statement released yesterday, confirming that Saldaña is no longer part of the movement. In the document, the coalition reiterated its commitment to the fight against corruption and the defense of the independence of state control bodies, emphasizing that there is no room for ambiguous interpretations. 'In the fight against corruption, there are no ambiguities or concessions,' the statement reads. After the expulsion was made public, Carlos Saldaña confirmed the split and defended his actions during the vote in the legislative plenary. 'I reiterate with clarity that my vote in favor of the Deputy Comptroller of the Republic was a technical, responsible, and coherent decision with my constitutional role as a deputy,' he stated. Saldaña was emphatic in stating that he will maintain his seat as an independent deputy, recalling that his seat belongs to 'the citizens of circuit 4-1 who elected me.' Furthermore, he assured that he will continue to exercise his functions in the National Assembly with full freedom of judgment, making it clear that his departure from the coalition will not affect his legislative work.
