The mayor of Montevideo, Caroline Cossereferred again to the water crisis faced by the national government due to the shortage of reserves of State Sanitary Works (OSE) by drought and targeted the Executive Power and its “improvisation and aimlessness”.
“We should have acted and, above all, informed,” said the hierarch in dialogue with AM750 during his visit to Buenos Aires, where he also highlighted that “the first and only ones that are informing the population of the results of the water analysis is the Municipality of Montevideo (IM)“.
Along these lines, Cosse noted that the departmental government found out about the problem “through the faucet”; since the water came out saltier than normal. “We went out to measure the quality of the water and published it. The national government did not publish. The lack of transparency It has nothing to do with climate change. But with the face of a crisis, of reality, “she specified.
Cosse criticized the lack of public investment
But in addition, he linked this “improvisation” of the Executive Branch with the rest of the government’s policies of Luis Lacalle Pou. “They have to do with the lower public investmentthe public companies against the wall“, accurate.
Cosse’s criticisms come a few hours after the Senate questioned the environment ministers, Roberto Bouvierand Public Health, Karina Randowhere, in addition to asking for explanations for the management of the water crisis, they were blamed for having stopped investments in the Casupá project.
On this, Bouvier responded to the legislators: “The fact that Casupá was stopped does not determine that it is final. Only the priority of the projects was modified, the taking of the Río de la Plata was prioritized.”
Raul Montero, president of OSE, who also had to appear, said: “The project that was in OSE was that of Casupá. I began to study the costs, they did not convince me. The alternatives did not convince me either. Arazatí gives me the solution to three issues ” . And he added: “We never rule out Casupá but we do understand that we cannot face both things at the same time.”
