The senator and leader of Open Town Hall, Guido Manini Ríosfired against the pre-candidates who do not take a position regarding the plebiscite driven by the Pit-Cnt, which aims to repeal the social security reform law approved in April of last year.
Manini Ríos reaffirmed support for the social security reform, just as it did during the discussions and the parliamentary vote. “We are going to support what we voted for in April of last year where Town meeting made important contributions and where improvements were achieved and retirees were enabled to work and compensations were established for minimum retirements and, above all, where the sustainability of the system going forward is ensured,” said Manini Ríos.
With respect to plebiscite Promoted by the union center, the politician assured that it would bring even greater problems to the Uruguayan economy. “We believe that what is being proposed does not have economic support and will not be able to be solved, unless exorbitant taxes are imposed on the entire society and putting jobs at risk, generating an exponential increase in unemployment,” the politician clarified. .
The “demagogy” of the Broad Front
The Broad Front’s support for the Pit-Cnt plebiscite is still in murky and divided waters. While the former mayor of cannelloni and pre-candidate Yamandú Orsi was against the plebiscite of the PIT-CNT, It remains to be known the official position of the mayor of Montevideo and pre-candidate Carolina Cosse once the internal elections are defined.
The capital’s leader joined the meeting of signatures to reach the plebiscite, but later she was not so emphatic in its electoral defense, claiming that she signed her signature “so that the people can decide.” However, in recent days, the former Undersecretary of Economy and Finance (MEF), Pablo Ferrerione of Cosse’s main campaign advisors on economic matters publicly stated that the plebiscite “would put enormous strain on public accounts” and was against the elimination of the Pension Savings Fund Administrators (AFAP).
The precandidate Andres Lima, for its part, confirmed that it will support and promote the plebiscite of the union center, to the extent that the FA allows freedom of action in the sectors. “Personally, I signed, I campaigned and several members of our political sector campaigned,” Lima stated in reference to the mobilization of the PIT-CNT which led to the collection of more than 430,000 signatures.
In this context, the lobbying senator gave his opinion on the opposition’s position. “What they have to do is a balance between responsibility and demagoguery. When I refer to the sustainability of the system and the loss of jobs for the future, all the Frente Amplistas know it, those who promote it and those who are against it.” “Manini Ríos remarked.
“Some, with a greater degree of responsibility, doubt this plebiscite. Others, in their electoral demagogy, continue forward knowing that after this the problem that is generated for the country is tremendous,” he clarified.
