And if King seems hardly perturbed, it may be because he's got Yolanda Schakron's brother campaigning with him. That's right; Mario Galvez has suddenly switched camps. Last week we saw him campaigning with his sister - but the former UDP standard bearer told us he loves his sister, but, straight-up he's a UDP:
Mark King - UDP Candidate, Lake Independence
"Mr. Galvez here has offered his support for us. We all know him as a die-hard UDP supporter. He has been a UDP for quite a long time, and, of course, any UDP that would like to come and work with us, we welcome them, and we welcome them with open arms - no matter if it's the brother of the opposing team."
Jules Vasquez
"What has caused this dramatic change?"
Mario Galvez - Campaigning for Mark King
"Jules, for one, I cannot support the PUP, and you know, I've never been a PUP. It's not in my heart, and walking back here with my sister, I can see that it's not a contest against Mark King. And I have some personal issues with Schakron, Alfred Schakron. There are a lot of things going on, the authorities are dealing with whatever they have to deal with."
Jules Vasquez
"It must be an extremely tough decision for you."
Mario Galvez
"It's extremely tough, but I am a man, and I will stand my ground. I love my sister; there are no two ways about that. I love my sister very much. I would do anything for her, but as she being a PUP, I cannot."
Mark King
"Whatever distance there is between him and his sister, then I leave that to them, but I welcome him with open arms, and right now even if Mrs. Schakron says, 'Hey, you know what, I want to join you too.' Man, they are welcomed."
We gather Mario's departure has not gone down well in the Galvez household as his relatives today told us a great many unkind things about him.
