The former Secretary of the Presidency and presidential candidate for the National Party (PN), Álvaro Delgadoharshly criticized the former mayor of cannelloni and candidate for the Broad Front (FA), Yamandú Orsifor “politicizing” the electoral campaign with the recent succession of murders of minors in the Uruguay.
The former Canarian leader had assured last week that there were already eight children injured by firearms so far this year and that the government could not allow itself to “naturalize the association of school doors with shootings.” A couple of days ago, he added in a press conference that “every 15 days a child who is shot enters the (hospital) Pereira Rossell“.
After these sayings, Slim He told the press on Saturday that “it is aberrant to politicize the death of children” and that the PN does not want to “enter” into “that type of politics.”
Likewise, he maintained that the Vice President of the Republic, Beatriz Argimónwas “very wise” when answering Orsi with statistics of Ministry of Interior through his
About this, Orsi He said at a press conference on Friday that he was not bothered by Argimón’s “attitude”, but that they were talking about figures from last year. “Hopefully this will be reversed and things will go very well (for the government), because things are going well for all of us, here organized crime doesn’t watch games, but it doesn’t bother me at all,” he said.
For its part, Slim He explained that “what Beatriz Argimón did was show the figures of what these unfortunate events were like throughout the year, what they were like in 2016, in 2017,” he slipped, pointing to the previous FA government.
“I’m not even going to go into the statistics, because it’s not that if there are 17, if there are 18 or if it’s 1, for me a dead child is unacceptable and we all have to commit and work so that that doesn’t happen,” said the nationalist. .
“Criminals are not victims of society”
Asked about what points are being failed, Slim He asserted: “We have to tighten the pegs, tighten the ropes, I believe that some of the measures that this government implemented are beginning to become effective, it is clear that it is not going for any of the proposals that have failed.”
“Criminals are not victims of society, for us it is a single condition, the victim is the people who suffer, the victims are the children who have this situation of confrontations between adults and end up shot, that is what is unacceptable,” he concluded.
