Prudencio Aguilar
A successful mayor of Macondo, who becomes friends with Aureliano Buendía despite being of the opposite political party. The friendship raises questions about how serious their political differences can be, and perhaps proving Aureliano's earlier belief that he fights more for pride than for the cause of the Liberals. This idea is further born out by the fact that the men consider finding a way to combine their political parties, but then sense that they would lose all purpose without their political rivalry. Ultimately, Colonel Aureliano Buendía’s cruelty is proven when, despite his fondness for his friend, he eventually allows Moncada to be executed.
