Regarding the resignation of the main hierarchs, Chancellery and the Ministry of Interior after the media and judicial referrals for the issuance of the document, which according to marset was regular and the issue “is controversial, politics wanted it that way”, Orsi He maintained that “it’s part of the weirdness of it all.”

Yamandú Orsi called not to trivialize drug trafficking in the media
“The answers caught my attention,” he emphasized, adding that “today I read in the media that they were almost a carbon copy.” “The other thing is, be careful with trivializing these issues (drug trafficking), right? Or with minimizing what we are talking about, in other countries something like this happened, be careful, it is too serious for us to have it as an almost farandulesque media issue” .
“What I think marset The truth is that it doesn’t touch me much, I don’t want to say it doesn’t interest me, because it looks ugly, but it interests me little,” he noted in reference to the drug trafficker’s sayings that Uruguay was less corrupt than Bolivia and Paraguay, countries where he is wanted by justice.
