The presidential candidate for the National Party questioned the union center for overlooking the current employment numbers.
The former Secretary of the Presidency and presidential candidate for the National Party (PN), Álvaro Delgadocriticized the speech of the PIT-CNT within the framework of the celebrations for the International Workers’ Dayafter the speakers from the union center ignored the current employment and salary figures.
The nationalist politician pointed out this Wednesday at a press conference against the central speech given by the president of the PIT-CNT, Marcelo Abdalastating that “he would have liked” to have talked about the current state of the job market and the level of salaries, but that this “did not happen.”
“It could have been recognized that this government created 80,000 jobs, that informality decreased, that today we have the highest level of contributors in the Social Security Bank (BPS)almost 1.6 million Uruguayans, and we also have the highest level of real salary growth in the last 50 years,” emphasized the former presidential official.
Slim He regretted that these issues were not discussed throughout the day, and that he understands that “it would be good if they had raised it” on this special date.
For his part, Abdala pointed out that the ruling party “lies” when it says that the plebiscite against the social security reform promoted by the PIT-CNT will eliminate the Pension Savings Fund Administrators (AFAP) to “confiscate” workers’ savings.
“I am going to defend the savings of Uruguayan workers”
After being consulted about it, Slim He pointed out that the plebiscite will clearly be a campaign issue and stressed: “I am going to defend the savings of Uruguayan workers, which they achieved with their efforts.”
“Here is the proposal of PIT-CNT and of much of the Broad Front (FA) “They confiscate them,” said the nationalist, who insisted: “This issue will be present throughout the electoral campaign, there will be many instances to discuss this.”
