The president put his schedule on hold and arrived by plane with three people to enjoy the rugby match
He President Luis Lacalle Pou traveled towards the Argentine province of Mendoza to watch the rugby match between The Pumas and the All Blacks, corresponding to the first date of the rugby championship and that is disputed in the Malvinas Argentinas Stadium, on a journey that occurs at times when people are not entirely satisfied with their management of the water crisis.
Lacalle Pou made a hole in his agenda in the midst of the water emergency that affects Montevideo and the metropolitan area of Uruguay to enjoy a top-level sporting spectacle. The president arrived in a modest plane to the El Plumerillo airport along with three friends, as reported by MDZonline.
In the pre-match, where New Zealand imposed conditions from the beginning, the president also took the opportunity to share a meeting with the Governor of Mendoza, Rodolfo Suárez, the mayor of the capital, Ulpino Suárez and Roberto Saldívar, in the VIP of the stadium.
Lacalle Pou paused his schedule to enjoy the show
Although the Uruguayan agenda has some critical issues such as the water emergency and the drought, the president put a brake on his obligations and traveled to the neighboring country in condition of tourist, far from being an official mission.
Lacalle Pou has a past linked to rugby and in this context it is worth remembering that last year he participated in an event that included a duel between persons deprived of liberty, precisely between Argentina and Uruguay, with the focus on social reintegration.
At that time, he stressed that “they are human beings who are in prison, but they found in sport a way to unite values and find a way to get out of the criminal circuit.” Pondering the virtues of rugby, he said: “It is a sport that requires a lot of sacrifice, loyal physical contact and very clear rules, in which one of the premises is that the judge is always right,” the president asserted.
