Yamandu Orsi, mayor of cannelloni and pre-candidate Wide Front for the presidency of Uruguay, He referred to the statements of his main competitor for leading the government, the white Alvaro Delgado, and maintained that he is not asking for a borrowed vote. Furthermore, he was in favor of an interparty agreement on security, in line with the also Frenteamplista candidate Mario Bergara.
Shortly after the start of the election campaign strong and while the different parties prepare the ground to begin their strategies for the June internal elections, Orsi He took advantage of a press conference on Monday to refer to different topics that were on the debate table in recent days.
One of them was the comment of the former secretary of the Presidency and main candidate of the National Party, Álvaro Delgado, about the fact that many Frente Amplistas would “lend” him the vote. In this regard, Orsi assured that he does not borrow the vote “because if I borrow it, I have to return it and it means that at some point they lost trust in me.” In that sense, the still Canarian mayor insisted that the trust It is granted or it is not granted, but it is not lent; and that, therefore, he does not intend to “borrow” the vote.
On the other hand, the Frente Amplista candidate also referred to Delgado’s statement that the opposition did not collaborate during the pandemic, something Orsi didn’t agree with. According to him, the nationalist “forgot something” and pointed out that he should review the gestures of some municipalities that did collaborate before stating the opposite.
Security, a hot topic of the campaign
Likewise, Orsi spoke on the topic of security in the country, an issue that is gaining more and more strength in the run-up to the electoral campaign, beyond the intersections between the ruling party and the opposition within the current management sphere.
For the Canarian mayor, there should be agreement between the political parties and more discreet work to solve a serious problem facing today Uruguay.
“There should be agreement (interparty) But I think we are raising our voices too much, we have to speak these things more quietly and if we really want to agree, let’s talk and maybe we don’t have to make so much noise or say so much. I think we are talking too much and these are the issues that we have to work on a lot more and talk about sometimes behind closed doors and when there is a concrete proposal, go out on the field. Now, to go out on the field during the electoral period, raising one’s profile so much, it seems to me that it does not lead us to find real solutions. “We are speaking very loudly,” he expressed.
It is worth remembering that one of those who put the issue of a broad agreement between all political parties at the center of the debate was the senator and also pre-candidate of the Frente Amplio, Mario Bergara, for whom the discussion of security should not take place in the context of the campaign, but rather from a state policy perspective. Given the refusal of the left coalition to give rise to the proposal, the former president of the Central Bank (BCU) He assured that there is differential treatment between the different internal competitors.
For its part, Orsi —without making direct reference to the partisan discussion, and concentrating the criticism on the nationalist sector— maintained that he is “listening to too much noise and the population is having a bad time because they feel insecure, life is not so simple, nor so easy when one goes out.” , a worker who goes to the bus stop, we know that people are worried and the people who worry are of all kinds.”
“So, because of what is happening, not just a sensation, but because of that reality that we are living, perhaps it is advisable to talk a little less and the day we have concrete proposals, when the government plans emerge, there we make some proposals, and “suddenly it would be good to find levels of coincidence,” he stated.
