During his tour of a primary school, the Uruguayan president was questioned by a student about the issue that has the country in suspense.
President Luis Lacalle Pou he could not escape the water crisis, not even on a tour of the Instituto Impulso elementary school where he was consulted by a child about the taste of the water, to which the president responded with recommendations for water care, the project spoke Neptune and asked the children to look at the sky and ask for rain.
“What about the salt water?” was the first question the president received when he approached one of the classrooms at the Impulso Institute, to which he replied that “the journalists were going to ask him that.” Surprised, he called him to the front of the room and asked the boy if that question “came from the locker room” or had occurred to him, to which the boy replied that it was his question.
Grabbing the boy by the shoulders, Lacalle Pou began to give explanations about the water crisis and its scarcity that caused the increase in salinity in the fluid without first asking the teachers if water had been a topic of discussion in class. “We have to wait for it to rain” was the first response from the president who asked the children to “look up” and wait for it to rain.
Secondly, he asked the children to remember that you have to optimize the use of water using the example of when you brush your teeth where you need to turn off the tap. Thirdly, he recalled the work of the Neptune project that will be awarded on June 6 this year. “There will be a new water source in case what is happening happens,” Lacalle Pou explained to the children present.
After the questions, the president received another question with fear: “Are you a millionaire?” to which he responded with a “No” and a smile.
