Casilda Echevarría questioned the approval of the project that includes benefits for those who contracted mortgage loans.
The president of Mortgage Bank of Uruguay (BHU), Casilda Echevarría, questioned the restructuring of debtors in Resettable Units (UR) approved unanimously in the Senate considering that it is an “unfair” proposal and spoke of “generous demagoguery” for the solution reached in the Parliament.
Echevarria He pointed out through his social networks that unanimity “nothing more demonstrates that demagoguery is widespread” and stated that “those who make it mandatory for others should pay for it.” In that sense, she explained that “not even UR, Neither their rates nor their way of adjustment harmed the credit holders.”
For the owner of the BHU, The project is “unfair” and “changes the rules of the game.” In arguing his criticism, he told Telemundo that the initiative “forgives debts that were correctly contracted.”
Echevarria He maintained that those who have been paying the loans for 40 years or more (who would stop paying) are people who refinanced. “Then it is also not reasonable that those who have paid on time do not have a benefit because they have already paid it and those who refinanced several times and have a lower payment are forgiven a part of the credit,” she justified.
Looking to the future, the leader pointed out that, if the project becomes law, “we will comply with it” and predicted that other debtors who were not benefited will raise their claims.
Could the episode lead to the resignation of the president of the BHU?
Besides, Echevarria was consulted about a possible resignation, something that the senator expressly requested some time ago Sergio Botana, one of the promoters of the initiative. “The president appointed me with the unanimous consent of the Senate, He gave me this ship to command. It will happen to him like me, that sometimes we agree and sometimes we don’t,” she said when explaining in a conversation with Radio Sarandí that he has no plans to resign.
About his relationship with Luis Lacalle Pou, the owner of the BHU He stated: “I have known him for many years and I have great affection for him. If at any time he thinks that the coincidences are not such, he will tell me.” And, specifically about an outing, he warned: “With a phone call from the president to It would be enough for me to resign.”
