On Sunday the candidate was consulted about the incident, which he denied. “Of course the accusations are denied. They are nonsense. There is no need to enter the game. It is a very well-arranged game, I don’t know who is behind this. Everyone will have to take charge,” he said.
In that sense, he assured that these types of complaints “attack democracy.” “At first it seemed like a minor lie, but it is something more serious. In Uruguay not everything is worth it, it can’t be all worth it. You have to be calm. “It is something that is not against a person, it is against democracy,” he said.
