Rolling in on an RV in the middle of the Avenida in downtown San José, Epsy Campbell launched her campaign for the leadership nomination of the Partido Accion Cuidadana (PAC).
The former legislator’s campaign slogan is “Vamos o no a sacar a Liberación?” (Are you we going to push out the Liberationists?).
Epsy fielded questions from the press in front of her RV in the Monday afternoon campaign launch. Her campaign manager had said over the weekend there would be no stage or bandstand, that Epsy would be among the people.
The young contender for the presidential chair in 2014 said she would not spend more than ¢15 million colones on the party leadership campaign.
