The senator and party leader responded to Jorge Gandini’s comments and reiterated that they are not going to vote for Accountability.
The senator and leader of Town meeting (AC), Guido Manini Riosreiterated that his political party will not support the vote on the general project of the Accountability in it Parliamentand slipped “it is possible” that the lobbying ministers of the cabinet resign, because the law includes articles of their own interest.
Manini Ríos’ statements at a press conference came after the senator from National Party (PN), Jorge Gandiniwill affirm that CA’s position goes against that of its own ministers, the head of Public health (MSP), Karina Randoand the Minister of Housing and Territorial Planning (MVOT), Raul Lozano.
Earlier, Gandini stated that he did not believe that CA could “vote against” the law to its own ministers, but that if his party did the same to him while he was a minister, he would step aside.
“Everything can be, everything can be” Manini Ríos expressed to the journalists present about the Rando and Lozano resignations, opening a big question mark in the future and the political unity of the government coalition.

“It doesn’t happen that way, for us the essential issue is to do justice to something that has not been done up to now,” Manini Ríos launched in reference to the demand that more resources be allocated to the Ministry of Defence to grant a raise to the junior staff of the Armed forces (armed forces).
CA’s intransigent stance on this issue to guarantee its vote in the Accountability collaterally hit Minister Rando, who had signed the bill that included a budget increase for the mental health and addictions plan, as well as the budget intended for Lozano en Vivienda, who also signed.
“We are not going to speculate,” Manini Ríos commented on the possibility of a break in the Multicolor Coalition, and maintained that he hopes that “common sense prevails.” Likewise, he acknowledged that he has not yet established a communication with the president Luis Lacalle Pou to address the problem.
