The sector headed by the mayor of Cannelloni, Yamandú Orsi, came out to question the president’s message Luis Lacalle Pou in which he announced the resignations of the Minister of the Interior, Luis Alberto Heber; the undersecretary Guillermo Maciel; and the presidential communications advisor Roberto Lafluf, who joined that of the former chancellor Francisco Bustillo.
In an audio that the senator quickly transmitted Alejandro “Pacha” Sánchez, to which he agreed Ambit and that went viral on social networks, the space that makes up the Wide Front spoke of “a very particular conference” and maintained that Lacalle Pou “The opportunity was missed to be honest once again with the Uruguayan people.”
“It was a conference where we were informed that four resignations were accepted: that of Bustillo, that of Heber, that of Maciel and of Lafluf, but the president says that they did not commit anything bad, irregular or illicit. They did not commit any management misconduct. There is a huge inconsistency between accepting these resignations and saying that nothing happened here,” he questioned. Sanchez.
The Broad Front legislator regretted that the president “did not commission a thorough investigation to get to the core” and stated: “This is what we expected, not only that he accepts resignations from the leaders who have been involved in meetings and organizations to destroy evidence to hide information from Parliament and to prevent the communications between them from becoming known, where it is clearly demonstrated that there was knowledge, while the passport of the marset, from the high authorities of Uruguay that he was a heavy and dangerous drug trafficker.”
“Well no. She didn’t say anything about that. “She resorted, faithful to his folksy style, to talking about a lot of secondary facts, of situations that are peripheral, but she did not refer to the underlying issues,” she lamented.
Sánchez looked at advisor Roberto Lafluf
In this sense, Sanchez stated: “For example, he said that he entrusted his advisor to hold a meeting, Lafluf, and he tells us that he has no powers, but he does have the power to summon two undersecretaries to a meeting in the Executive Tower, to whom he just stopped by to say hello.”
“And he didn’t give a single opinion on whether he agrees or not. Nor about the serious complaints that he has made ache that in that meeting they were requesting to delete the chats, to eliminate the evidence,” indicated the legislator.
And he added: “The president says nothing about that and even less about the second serious complaint of ache about that mr. Lafluf, who does not have management powers according to the president, but who obtained the file from the Chancellery and deleted the delivery of those chats that he had already made Carolina Ache. He did not issue a single opinion about that.”
“Nor did he issue any opinion on the conduct of all these officials who met at the Prado House to plan to lie to the Parliament, lie to the Uruguayan people, who organized themselves. To make a cell phone disappear,” he questioned. Sanchez.
For the senator, “in an honest government those types of actions should be repudiated and the president didn’t say anything about that either.” “He says yes that any Uruguayan in the world can apply for a passport even if he is a drug trafficker. He did not say why it was express,” he insisted.
The lack of honesty and this Sunday’s meeting of the Frente Amplio
“I believe that a great opportunity was lost, the opportunity to be honest, to assume leadership, to decide to do a thorough administrative investigation to see if there are more officials from your government involved in these maneuvers and to establish that these maneuvers are inadmissible in a republic and in a democratic and transparent government,” he stated Sanchez.
Along the same lines, he indicated that “it is noticeable that today honesty does not prevail in the Executive Tower, sadly to the sadness of the Uruguayan people. We must transform that sadness into the hope that it is necessary for honesty to return to the government.”
“For this chapter there will be more actions. Tomorrow we meet Wide Front and we will give an institutional opposition about what has happened and above all, about what the president has not said,” the legislator concluded his message.
