Along the same lines, Senator Jorge Gandini He was emphatic in pointing out that “there is a President” and noted: “There was never an institutional crisis. There is no longer a political crisis. The house in order. Let’s work, there is a lot to do.” In turn, he congratulated the new leaders and wished them success in their management.
Your pair Graciela Bianchi He highlighted after the message that “we confirm that we have a republic, democracy and a great team led by “Lacalle Pou.” Then, in a cryptic tone he seemed to allude to the hierarchs involved in the scandal and fired: “For the Western civilization based on Judeo-Christianism, which no one better than Dante (Alighieri) could exemplify, traitors are so despicable that they are located outside of the circles (at the inverted tip of the cone), next to Lucifer. Judas, Cassius and Brutus.”
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate Laura Raffo He stated that the head of state “informed the population with temperance and serenity, as he has always done” and maintained that “this government will continue working with the focus on improving the quality of life of Uruguayans.”

The president says that everyone acted well, but no one remained in office.
Their decision, in agreement, was to hide information from justice. The only thing that was clear is that we knew this because Ache repented.
That’s what Lacalle admitted.— Silvia Nane (@SilviaNaneFA) November 5, 2023
The questions of the Broad Front
Despite the approval of the ruling party, the message did not go down well with the Broad Front, where several leaders expressed their criticism. The senator Silvia Nane He assured that “the only thing that was clear is that we knew this because Ache repented” and stated: “He says that everyone acted well, but no one remained in office.”
Your pair Alejandro Sanchez He stated that the president “missed the opportunity to be honest with the Uruguayan people.” Meanwhile, the legislator Lucia Etcheverry He shot: “The president is back. He gave his version, so confusing that it is difficult to qualify it. “Tough 5 years.”
In the same line, Margaret Libschitz He questioned: “We take charge but we do not take charge. The President only stopped by “to greet” Ache and Maciel at the meeting called by Lafluf and also clarified that the latter does not have government responsibilities, he is only an advisor who responds to him. “So who ordered the elimination of the Foreign Ministry chats and documentation?”
In turn, the deputy Cristina Lustemberg stated: “The syncretism of the message, the number of changes in the cabinet, the involvement of so many political actors in judicial processes and the delay in actions are worrying. The President gave situational explanations to political problems, and it is evident that we are facing a political crisis of the Government that, far from ending today – given that the judicial processes continue – has only just begun and as the opposition should concern us.”
