Leaders of the Wide Front They came out in defense of the Mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse, considering that the filing of the case by the Antel Arena It is “a logical decision” and some even pointed out that “lies have short legs.”
In parallel, from different sectors of the Multicolor Coalition They questioned the ruling of the Economic Crimes prosecutor, Alejandro Machado, by ensuring that “the irregularities are notorious”, in reference to an alleged cost overrun of the work, while they went so far as to speak of “a moral condemnation” towards Cosse, who considered that there was “a political operation” against him.

For Orsi, “the numbers were left on the table” and he clarified: “Justice spoke, ruled and I am not going to make the king more realistic.” Furthermore, regarding the final value of the work, he clarified: “It seems fine to me. It’s like the work of Antel Tower or the Legislative Palace. Office prices are always much less than what it ends up costing and there are different factors.”
Fernando Pereira spoke of judicial persecution
On the other hand, the president of the FA, Fernando Pereira, He maintained at a press conference that the government “used a judicial complaint to persecute another party” and maintained that this method “is not a good idea for the good democratic functioning that they demand so much.”
“Justice spoke, in the Uruguay the institutionality speaks and the rest of us comply,” he noted. Pereira and pointed out: “Political discussions are all valid and the complaints are valid, what is not valid is that someone who is a political leader places himself in the position of prosecutor or even judges the actions of prosecutors, something that we have seen in this last period of government, permanently.”
From X (exTwitter), the senator Liliam Kechichian He stressed that “the novel is over” and added: “Those of us who suffer unfair complaints know what people suffer and what our families suffer.” The pair of him, Daniel Caggiani, redoubled the bet: “Another one from the government that is archived. And how many more are missing! “Lies have short legs,” my grandmother said…”
The ruling party spoke of cost overruns and “moral condemnation”
He senator of the National Party, Sebastián Da Silva, He questioned Machado’s ruling by pointing out that “there is no judicial condemnation, but there is moral condemnation” against Cosse and doubled down: “Continue justifying tripled budgets, a million-dollar baby soccer field or the 600-meter kitchen.”
Meanwhile, his pair Jorge Gandini He was surprised by Radio Universal “that everything we know that was part of irregularities, none of them could have constituted a crime.”
“We will have to respect that position of Prosecutor’s Office that resolves not to take the case to trial before Justice. I believe that the irregularities are notorious and it does not change that there was talk of 40 million dollars and it cost more than 100,” Gandini said.
