After the PIT-CNT Get the signatures to boost your plebiscite against social security reform, The ruling party closes ranks and groups together to defend a fundamental initiative of the administration headed by the president Luis Lacalle Pou.
Precandidates of the National Party, of the Colorado Party and leaders from various sectors considered that an eventual approval would generate “a catastrophe and a collapse” in the savings of the Uruguayans, while others were encouraged to compare the initiative with “the path of Cristina Kirchner”, in reference to the measure promoted in Argentina by the then president.
One of those who spoke out against the PIT-CNT campaign was the white candidate Alvaro Delgado, who pointed out: “22 billion dollars of voluntary savings from all of us are being used.”
During a campaign tour through the Maracaná neighborhood of Montevideo, considered that, if the plebiscite is validated, the funds “will go to Bermuda Triangle in a system that no one is going to finance, that is going to generate a collapse with great irresponsibility.”
“The reform will be defended by the young people, the National Party, this team and this candidate,” said Delgado and chirped: “I am not speculating.” Thus, he aimed against the Wide Front and, without naming Yamandu Orsi, He accused “those who did not collect signatures for fear of having their votes taken away.”
Gabriel Gurméndez said that the plebiscite is going “the path of Cristina Kirchner”
On the other hand, the candidate of the Colorado Party, Gabriel Gurmendez, He maintained that the union center and some sectors of the FA “want to put a time bomb in the country’s retirement system” and launched an international comparison, expressing: “They want to follow the path of Cristina Kirchner”.
The former president of Antel had already compared Carolina Cosse with the former president of Argentina and considered that the measure seeks to “expropriate the savings that Uruguayans have protected in the AFAP”. And he added: “They want future generations of Uruguayans, our children and our grandchildren, to have to bear an impossible burden, which makes the economic growth of the country unfeasible.” Uruguay and that takes us down a path that is one of catastrophe”.
The official counter-campaign ends
In that sense, Gurméndez called to “start the campaign to combat the constitutional plebiscite that the PIT-CNT and some sectors of the FA have achieved, obtaining signatures that risk the future of the Uruguay”.
The senator did something similar Javier Garcia (PN), who considered that “people’s savings are at stake” and called “to defend” society from the National Party.
“What they want with the repeal of the social security reform is to take those savings and throw them into a large common stock market, where they will be liquefied. In short, it is not only an economic issue, it is also an ideological issue because they do not believe in your freedom to decide,” the former Minister of Defense stated in a video.
