Willy Olivences (El Chamo) new mayor of Sosúa
On Sunday evening, March 15, around half past ten, it was already known: Willy Olivences, better known as El Chamo, won the municipal election. Willy Olivences will be the mayor of Sosúa for the next four years. His five alderman candidates (rigidores) were also elected. Melania Guzmán (La Rubia) is expected to become the vice mayor. This is a positive development because Melania is known for working together with the catering entrepreneurs of Sosúa. When it became known on Sunday evening that Willy had won convincingly, his supporters in Charamicos, Sosúa Abajo, Maranatha and Bella Vista took to the streets en masse honking their horns for the victory. A large crowd of supporters also went partying through El Batey of Sosúa. Willy is the candidate from the common people. Always willing to fix a leaky roof or hand out a food package. He also paid the medicines and other medical costs for many poor residents.
The closure of the bars and discos on the main street Pedro Clisante has not made Ilana Neumann very popular. The closure left many employees without work and entrepreneurs without income. Many people do believe that Willy will definitively undo all of these closings. Sosúa is celebrating the victory.
