The senator and leader of Cabildo Abierto pointed out against the initiative that has half a sanction from Parliament.
The senator and leader of Town meeting (AC), Guido Manini Ríos, questioned the bill that modifies the law of usury and that imposes a limit on interest rates in the credits granted by banks and financial companies, considering that “they are totally lukewarm solutions.”
For the CA representative, who is emerging as a candidate for president of that space, he considered that the rest of the parties began to take up the problem as a result of his initiative. “For a just debt”, that drives a plebiscite to annul the usury law of the first government of the Wide Front (FA).
“I have everything to think that what is really worrying is this campaign to collect signatures,” he said. Manini Rios in dialogue with Radio Oriental, when referring to the presentation of similar proposals by the FA, he Colorado Party (PC) and the People’s Party.
In any case, he was ironic by pointing out that “sensitivity to an issue that until now had been intentionally ignored, because they did not want to mess with those who are behind the loan of money, is welcome.”
With respect to the text that was approved in the House of Representatives and already has half a sanction, acknowledged that it “lowers interest rates,” but countered that it does not mention the debt restructuring of individuals, the axis that raises Town meeting.
The defense of the project approved in Deputies
He deputy of the Colorado Party, Daniel Peña, valued the approval of the text that modifies the usury law in the Parliament and described the fact as “a great advance for the Uruguay”, since “it will have a strong impact on the interest rate.”
Grief told Radio Montecarlo that “usury is a crime and Uruguay “he did not control it” and maintained that it covers events in which “people are charged disproportionately interest for the loan of money” and observed: “Without a doubt there are very strong interests that pressure so that these things do not work.”
