Although he agreed that the actions were accurate, he wondered why the president said that there was nothing irregular.
The mayor of Canelones and presidential candidate, Yamandu Orsigave his opinion at a press conference on the actions of the Executive Branch in the face of the political scandal over the delivery of a Uruguayan passport to the drug dealer Sebastian Marset which led to the resignation of four government representatives.
“Some part, without a doubt, was accurate. The actions are what we all expected,” Orsi established regarding the decisions made by the president. Luis Lacalle Pou. However, the Canarian mayor questioned that what the president said does not coincide with what he did. “I don’t understand why he displaces some ministers if in reality nothing of an irregular nature or shady appearance happened,” Orsi asked himself. In that sense, the mayor stressed the importance of improve the image what’s wrong with it Uruguay abroad.
On the other hand, he established that they never finished knowing what happened and why things happened. “I believe that this does not create a stain on people or on the Executive Tower but to the country,” he lamented and added that this situation “we all lost.”
Regarding the president’s statements where he established that there was no institutional crisis but politics, and that it would be solved with politics, the Canarian mayor questioned this premise. “Hopefully there will not be an institutional crisis, that will be seen as the days go by. Evidently the actions of sacred institutions were called into question. Nothing less than the presidency of the Republic“, lament.
In that sense, regarding the resignations of the officials involved, the mayor of cannelloni established that it would have been better if those responsible had told the truth in the Parliament when they were called to give explanations. “Days go by, months go by and there are more questions than answers,” she explained.
Orsi concerned about Paganini’s departure from MIEM
One of the changes that the government underwent was that the minister of Industry, Energy and Mining, Omar Paganini, will be in front of the Ministry of External relationships, after the resignation of former chancellor, Francisco Bustillo. In relation to this, Orsi assured that with Paganini they worked very well from the mayor’s office.
“It is a ministry that particularly from Canelones we articulated very well. Now it is like turning a page and starting from scratch again, but I hope it continues along the same lines or, at least, our ties continue as they should be,” estimated the mayor. The new Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining is Elisa Facio, who served as General Director of the MIEM Secretariat.
