The secretary of the Álvaro Delgado Presidency critical of the mayor of Yamandu Orsi cannelloni for the comments he made regarding the statements of the most wanted drug trafficker by Uruguay, Sebastian Marset, and its relationship with the national government. “Unfortunate,” said the nationalist leader.
The intersections between the opposition and the government regarding the Marset case are not new: from the Wide Front They see the controversy over the delivery of the passport to the Uruguayan drug trafficker as one of the great scandals of the ruling party—and of the National Party, mainly—and one more that joins the president’s list Luis Lacalle Pou; while since Executive Tower They point out the Broad Front attitude as electoral opportunism.
However, the recent crossing between Slim and Orsi cannot fail to be read with its electoral particularities: both are presidential candidatesas well as the best positioned in their respective internal according to different surveys.
“I thought I had something more sensible to contribute to Uruguayan politics. “Unfortunate,” Delgado wrote on social networks, a medium that he used to refer to the statements of the Canarian mayor.
“I am surprised that Marset’s story match almost 100% with the national government’s story,” Orsi said yesterday at a press conference, regarding the interview that Marset gave exclusively to the Santo y Seña program on Channel 4, in which the drug trafficker said he had not spent even “a dollar” on the passport that allowed him to leave Dubai in 2021.
“It catches my attention,” said the Frente Amplio candidate, who, at the insistence of journalists, added that “it’s strange, at least strange.”
The response of Slim, which led, in turn, to an exchange between figures from both fronts.
The answers that Delgado opened
“It would be sensible not to have issued a passport to a ‘heavy and dangerous drug traffic’ in 24 hours. “It would be more sensible not to lie to parliament,” the Broad Front senator responded, also online. Alejandro “Pacha” Sánchez, to Delgado’s tweet. And he continued, using the same words as the Secretary of the Presidency: “It is regrettable to destroy a public document with chats between two rulers. But the most unfortunate thing is that they cannot explain all this in a baked way.”
The senator and leader of the nationalist party responded to this comment, in turn. Graciela Bianchi, who asked the left coalition legislator not to lie outside the committee anymore.
“Heavy narcos are those of the narco dictatorships that you consider democracies. It was not given in 24 hours; By counting on your fingers you will see that it was a normal procedure that lasted months. Uruguay it’s a Rule of law: he had and does not have a record (they ‘cleaned’ him up in your government) in Uruguay and at the time the passport was granted he had no international requirements,” he wrote.
To the list of Broad Front leaders—and, particularly, of the Popular Participation Movement (MPP) that integrates Orsi— who responded to Slim The deputy also joined Sebastian Valdomir, who noted that “the Secretary of the Presidency returned to Twitter. When they fired the Minister of the Interior and the Chancellor and there was no president, Delgado had nothing to say. That was unfortunate.”
The senator expressed himself along the same lines Charles Carrera, who noted: “We Uruguayans thought that there was no longer a Secretary of the Presidency because he was quite silent when two ministers, an undersecretary and a communications advisor resigned. And one day he appeared, but not to criticize himself for the crisis of the Marset scandal. Delgado would not be the best person to talk about common sense.”
