The FA president criticized the government’s security policies and said they thought “two shouts to the police” would solve the problem.
In statements to the press, the president of the opposition party and possible candidate, Fernando PereiraHe spoke about his expectations for the general elections next year and said that elections should not be taken for granted; while he questioned the security policies of the government of Luis Lacalle Pou.
“Without a doubt, no one can affirm and it would be a huge mistake to think that the Broad Front has won the elections,” said the president of the Broad Front who added that, despite the fact that the current government has a bad perception on the part of the citizenry, “It does not automatically translate into adherence to the Broad Front.”
Faced with this, he added that the party has no intention of using the “failure” of the government on the issue of security to obtain benefits as the official coalition did at the time. “The coalition used the issue of insecurity as a workhorse with the search for electoral gains. It is a matter of the first order, we all have to contribute and collaborate, but with more effective policies”, the Frente Amplista senator stated.
On the other hand, Pereira classified the government’s security policies as a failure. “Crimes fell due to the pandemic and it was not the LUC nor the police command, which is headless”, Pereira explained regarding the police authorities who were removed from office for being linked to the controversial case of the former custodian of the presidency, Alexander Astesiano. “This government entered with a tonic of yelling at the Police thinking that it was the way to solve the problems,” he concluded.
The polls, in favor of the FA
A new Opción Consultores survey revealed that the broad front (FA) leads by 3% in intention to vote to the Multicolor Coalition ahead of the 2024 general elections.
When asked which party they would vote for if the elections were held tomorrow, the 42% of those consulted He replied that it would be to the FA, a 30% said he would vote for National Party (PN), a 4% to the Colorado party (pc), other 4% to Town meeting (AC), and a 1% to the independent party (PI), giving the government alliance a total of 39% of intentions.
Another of the opposing forces, such as the Intransigent Radical Ecologist Party (PERI) met the 1% of intention to vote, while the sum of the rest of the parties gathered another 1%. Undecided voters reached 11%; while those who will vote annulled or blank 6%.
These figures show a certain correlation with those obtained by the consultant in May of last year, when the FA presented an intention to vote for the 41%and the Multicolor Coalition also of the 41%, in a virtual tie. However, they vary somewhat from the May 2021 scenario, when the Multicolor Coalition had a 43% of voting intention vs. 3. 4% of the FA.
In the breakdown of the May 2021 survey, there was the particularity that the PN was only 1% below the FA, while the CA and the PC also registered greater sympathy among voters.
