The paradoxical “trust” that the Uruguayan political system has in Justice
For Martínez Rosso, it is paradoxical that when the actions of members of the other powers of the State are questioned, they say: “We trust in Justice.”
“At the time of depositing that same trust and granting the Economy ways for this power to fulfill its functions, that trust disappears and no hand is raised to vote in favor of our project,” he concluded.
