As they approach elections 2024, The tone of the electoral campaign begins to rise and in the last hours there was a crossover between pre-candidates of the Wide Front and the National Party with two axes: the false complaint against Yamandu Orsi and the scandal that was unleashed by the delivery of the passport to the drug trafficker Sebastian Marset.
The first to pick up the gauntlet was the FA pre-candidate, Carolina Cosse, who assured that from the government “instead of governing they campaign” and, regarding the accusation of a trans woman against Orsi, he fired: “They attacked our colleague Yamandú in something more similar to an escrache without evidence than a serious complaint.”
“They are going to continue provoking us,” Cosse said about the PN during an opposition event and clarified that “no Frente Amplista is going to allow themselves to be distracted because when the smoke clears, reality appears.”
Along these lines, he questioned the interference of the Executive in the investigation against him by Antel Arena. “They wanted to remove me from the Municipality, they almost started a political trial against me in the Senate. In the previous campaign they carried out a pseudo-audit in Antel and a criminal complaint in the Antel Arena. Three years passed, the prosecutor filed it, the president got into the issue and said ‘reconsider’ to the Antel board of directors,” questioned the mayor of Montevideo in license use.
Álvaro Delgado’s response
From the white ranks, the candidate’s response Alvaro Delgado it did not took her long to arrive. “I want to say it seriously because it worries and outrages me: there is a candidate from the Wide Front that it crossed a limit,” said the former Secretary of the Presidency.
Delgado thus questioned Cosse’s attitude of “directly accusing this National Party of 187 years of history, which the country made and fills us with pride, that it was behind some type of campaign that is not the cleanest in an electoral campaign.
The favorite candidate in the official party was inclined to resolve the investigation and, after the statements of his opposition rival, he launched: “If anyone has any suspicions and obviously has any proof that there is a target who went astray and who was part of this handle and this escrache, “Let him go to court and I will accompany him.”
Orsi targeted Lafluf for the Marset case
On the other hand, Orsi criticized some actions of the government headed by the president Luis Lacalle Pou, mainly the one linked to the scandal that was unleashed by the delivery of a passport to Uruguayan drug trafficker Sebastián Marset. “It cannot happen to us that after five years there remain so many doubts about so many issues,” questioned the former mayor of Canelones.
The FA candidate charged directly against the former presidential advisor Roberto Lafluf, ejected after his alleged involvement in the Marset case. “From a regrettable event, such as the destruction of documents, that person is rewarded by being a publicist for the Conmebol and being the head or communication guide of a new electoral campaign,” Orsi criticized.
About the alleged meeting in Executive Tower, He concluded: “If documents that were going to be needed in court were destroyed, at least we need an explanation.”
