NYC Public Advocate candidate Gonzalo Duran, Bronx conservatives, call out ‘rising tide of socialism’ in city

New York City Public Advocate Candidate and Bronx Conservative Party Vice Chairman Gonzalo Duran held a press conference in the Bronx in which he warned attendees about what he felt was a “rising tide of socialism” in New York City and the threats he believes this may pose on Saturday, Aug. 2.

Duran, who describes himself as a moderate conservative, said he believes that socialism and socialist policies could negatively impact the future of the Bronx and New York City as a whole. This press conference was largely meant to criticize the policies of Democratic Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani, who describes himself as a Democratic Socialist.
