Leonel is popular because he's a master wordsmith (if you've read Tolkien, think Sauron before he looked scary and was called "Master of Gifts", thus fooling everyone into accepting his rings) in his 1st as well as present terms, the "comesolos" been terrible at actually paying their public debts, syphoning money instead to cronies and propaganda/buy out funds.
I hated those statues by the way...made Monumento look cheesy.
