Comments from National Party and Open Cabildo referents
The president of the National Party (PN) in Montevideo, Laura Raffo, was one of those who came out to defend the president’s speech. “We are facing a serious, complete and effective management of macroeconomics that allows us to do what the Economic Policy has to do: give people more well-being and bring more prosperity to the country,” he said.
Along the same lines, he stressed that, within this framework, “today’s announcements are very remarkable: more well-being will be achieved by lowering taxes.”
The leader of the Colorado Party, Guido Manini Rios, also held the announcements. “The measures announced they are going in the right direction and they mean relief for many people,” he said.
