The candidate for Broad Front, Yamandú Orsipresented this Monday complaints for an accusation of lack of gender violence against Romina Papasso; With this, the political arc showed solidarity and support for the politician.
Faced with this, several representatives of the opposition showed their repudiation of what happened, one of them was the senator for the National Party, Sebastian Da Silva. “Generally, when these frames are discovered, they have a minor denial and the frame remains in the air. Luckily this hoax that they did to Orsi had the same repercussion and his honor is publicly safe. The remedy for all this is always justice” , he published on his X account.
Not everything is worth it
For his part, the white senator, Jorge Gandini, also expressed his opinion and questioned the origin of the complaint. “My solidarity with Yamandu Orsi. The defamation and damage is regrettable. But I can’t believe that a woman who didn’t know Orsi, one day she decided to make up a story to hurt him for no reason. Where did the idea and plot come from? “Did someone contact her and “encourage” her to make the media complaint? “She posted on her social networks.
In addition, he called to unmask the culprits who sought to dirty the candidate in the middle of a political campaign. “If this is an operation for electoral political purposes, we must unmask the perpetrators behind the false victim. They were not only against Orsi. They were against the entire system and democratic coexistence. We will have to investigate, not everything goes,” he added. .
In coincidence with Gandini, the Colorado candidate, Gabriel Gurmendez, He also questioned what happened. “In politics not everything goes. The episode he experienced Yamandu Orsi It shows that limits exist, that democracy requires understanding them and that we cannot live in an electoral campaign where the irrational and defamatory are frivolously introduced. Such excess hurts us all. Fortunately, Uruguay seems to show that not everything goes,” he remarked.
Expulsion of Romina Celeste and the celebration of her party
The false complaint against the pre-candidate caused the National Party expel Romina Celeste, who is supposed to have been an accomplice in the accusation against Orsi. From there, the pre-candidate for that party, Laura Raffo, celebrated the decision.
“The National Party has 187 years of history. Our values are the defense of freedom and institutions, as well as the truth. We support the decision of our Board of Directors and leave the corresponding actions in the hands of Justice,” he tweeted .
For his part, the president of the board of directors of the National Party, Pablo Iturralde, He stressed the importance of Justice getting to the bottom of the matter. “We ask the Justice Department to dig deep and try to find out if there are other people here in this operation, so that the full weight of the law falls on them,” she said.
The president of the board commented that he contacted Fernando Pereira, president of the Frente Amplio, although his intentions were to speak with Orsi. “Here there is serious damage against a main candidate. The seriousness of an operation before Justice with judges and prosecutors,” he added.
Manini Ríos’ questioning and Orsi’s response
The denunciation of the pre-candidate was the possibility for the leader of Open Town Hall, Guido Manini Ríos, question gender law. “On 6/3 we presented a project to modify Law 19580, which is unconstitutional and has generated more violence than it has prevented. We propose, among other points, to respect the equality of men and women, the assessment of the evidence provided, penalties for false complaints,” he published on his social networks.
However, during the press conference, Orsi assured that the false accusations have nothing to do with the gender violence law. “A false accusation is a false accusation linked to any regulation or any law. It has nothing to do with that,” he said.
On the other hand, he regretted that gender violence is trivialized based on a false complaint. “Violence exists, people are violated. So, the fact that the issue is hyped hurts me, it bothers me and we are going to fight it,” she promised.
