The nationalist activist who made the complaint public confirmed that the incident did not ultimately occur. From the Frente Amplio they ask for sanctions for the “enchastre operation.”
The militant of Romina Papasso National Party confirmed that the criminal complaint presented in March by a trans woman against the pre-candidate for the presidency of Uruguay for him Broad Front, Yamandú Orsi, for an alleged attack, is false. “It is a complaint and a false testimony that was given to the Police,” she said.
Although from the first moment speculation began about the existence of a episode of physical violence that linked Orsi, the candidate flatly affirmed his innocence — and even made a campaign commitment based on the situation, understanding that in Uruguay “not everything is worth it”—the officialization of the judicial presentation against him by a trans woman who declared that she had been attacked by the former mayor of cannelloni In 2014 it generated a stir in an electoral campaign that was beginning to take its first steps.
Now, Romina Celeste—the first to publicly mention the events that were later formally reported—confirmed to the journalist Diego Martini that the complaint was unfounded. “This person is a consumer of base paste. I accompanied her to Section 10. Nobody forced that person to do anything. The person went because she wanted to go. I went to look for her because she didn’t even have the ticket and I took her “She reports in Section 10 and the entire complaint about (the blow to) the nose was invented by her,” she stated in an audio that Martini shared on social networks.
“That is a complaint and a false testimony that he gave to the police. We can make a mistake in these types of complaints that shock the public sphere and are a scandal,” he added. “I say it’s false because I know this person is upset,” she added.
Papasso assured that the woman will publicly acknowledge that the complaint is false in the next few hours, and that on Sunday at 11:30 p.m. on her account TikTok She herself is going to answer “all the lies” and “show her face.”
“The seriousness of all this here is the false complaint against Orsi and the false testimony he made at a police station; the false report that this person made. You always have to show your face, because when you make a mistake you have to admit it,” Papasso concluded.
Sanctions for the “castre operation”
From the presidency of Broad Front, who also from the first moment expressed support for Orsi, issued a statement in which they asked “sanctions to those who thought and executed the casting operation“, understanding that all the events were planned in order to harm the pre-candidacy—and eventual candidacy—of the former mayor of Canelones.
“Time had to pass for the TRUE began to come to light, making it evident that the criminal complaint filed against Yamandu Orsi, like the campaign that was set up, it was a lie,” the text said.
“We must get to the bottom of it and apply all sanctions to those who thought up and carried out this operation against our comrade,” added the presidency of the left coalition.
