Francisco Legnani, campaign manager of the presidential candidate Uruguay for him Broad Front Yamandú Orsi, publicly denounced the existence of an “orchestrated campaign” against the former mayor of cannelloni around the complaint for an alleged attack on a trans woman in 2014 and said that “1,000 foreign accounts” created to interact with the issue on social networks were detected.
In line with the presumption of a “dirty campaign” that he spoke of Orsi During the press conference on Wednesday, after the criminal complaint filed against him was made public, Legnani assured that they still do not know “what is behind” what they understand as a premeditated action, but that “a series of concatenated events have occurred that “they make it presume that the promoter of the first attack is not alone.”
“There are a series of indications and components that suggest that this is not an isolated event,” insisted the campaign manager in dialogue with Channel 10. “They are campaigns in which nothing is invented, it is just that sometimes Uruguay had not arrived, but it has been raised in other countries with the intention of ban candidates”, He added, putting on the table a suspicion also raised by the Frente Amplista candidate at the press conference, although without going into further details.
Likewise, Legnani announced that, since yesterday, the campaign command of the former Canarian mayor has new information that would substantiate the presumption of an “operation” behind the criminal complaint: “We were informed that 1,000 accounts from abroad, recently created and without followers “They were interacting with this topic,” he said, although he did not explain where the information in question came from.
Will there be a judicial complaint?
Asked what the next steps will be regarding the delicate information that he had just commented on the Arriba la gente program, Legnani said that, from the campaign, the line of action is to continue doing “this public complaint that they are events that have been happening and are of public notoriety.” “I am simply recounting everything that has happened and the presumption that this can continue,” he added.
Regarding the possible judicial procedure surrounding this public complaint, he preferred not to comment. “Everything that has to do with possible complaints and the development of this entire case in court, the assessment will be made by the doctor. Diaz and his team, so it is not up to us to give our opinion,” he explained.
“You have to be very careful with what you say, you have to stand on the facts, and you have to regret and condemn what is happening because it is something unprecedented in our country,” continued the campaign manager of Orsi, in reference to the fact that “there are no elements” to point towards any politic party as the starting point of the “dirty campaign”.
In any case, he pointed out that “it occurs precisely in a campaign where the Wide Front is highly positioned in the polls, where Yamandu It is very positioned inside the Broad Front, where according to one of the surveys he is the most popular politician in the country; and that it is about attacking the person, the candidate, hitting emotionally because he has a family member and, of course, attacking the political force and moving the axis of the campaign, which we are going to try to prevent from happening.”
“My wish is that from now on we talk about the things that really matter in the country, because this year we are risking the future of the next five years,” he concluded.
