Germán Borregales (28 May 1909, Coro region – 2 March 1984, Caracas[1]) was a Venezuelan journalist, author and politician.
[2] As a journalist Borregales wrote for several newspapers, including El Universal and La Religión as well as a journal he founded himself, Falconidad.
[7] Indeed the purpose of his campaign was widely questioned due to the MAN's lack of any support base and the final vote tallies for Borregales were derisory.
[9] Nonetheless the party returned in 1968 and, whilst once again Borregales failed to come close to the Presidency, he was elected to the Assembly as MAN's sole representative.
By that point Borregales' fruitless attempts to become President of Venezuela had led to his becoming a popular target for the country's satirists.
