Faced with the statements of the pre-candidate for the Wide Front, Yamandu Orsiwho said that “Uruguay “was falling apart” with the current government, its strongest competition in the presidential elections, Alvaro Delgadodid not take long to respond and question the hardening of the speech of the former mayor of Cannelloni.
Between ironic laughter, the nationalist candidate said that he had to read the news twice because they did not seem like statements of Yamandu Orsi when he was consulted at a press conference. “It’s not Orsi, at least the one who was talking,” he said in relation to the hardening of the statements of the Frente-Amplista candidate.
According to Delgado, the inmates began to influence Orsi because “the most radical sectors follow the other candidate,” referring to the competition of the former mayor of Canelones, the current departmental head of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse. “Surely that will determine the change in discourse, but it is his issue,” Delgado shot.
“It seemed like a horseman of the apocalypse saying that everything is wrong and that the country is falling apart. In reality, you have to open the door and collide with reality. I know that sometimes it is an uncomfortable truth but the truth is the only reality” , he assured and added that Orsi may not like that the ruling party has done works that the Wide Front he did not do during his government.
With this, the nationalist candidate took the opportunity to comment on the achievements of the government of Luis Lacalle Pou, of which he actively participated as Secretary of the Presidency. “Today we have less than half of inflation, the highest average real salary in the last 50 years, we create 80,000 jobs, we have the largest number of people working in the history of Uruguay, 3 points less informality and 20% more of investments,” listed the favorite candidate of the National Party.
On the other hand, he added that they are working on a sanitation project in the department of Saint Joseph. “This actually should have been done in previous governments, if they were not dedicated to business adventures in which we all lost money, around 1.4 billion dollars. It seems that they have selective memory,” questioned the candidate. “Everyone has the right to win the election as best they can, we prefer to do it with the truth,” concluded Delgado.
Orsi’s speech
During a presentation at a campaign event in the department of Black river, The candidate questioned the current government regarding its priorities in the social sector. “We want to turn that around and for us to have hope and for this country to be a lighthouse again,” he expressed in his speech and assured that during the Frente Amplista governments, social inequality had decreased considerably.
On the other hand, he was in charge of questioning the efficiency of the health sector in relation to Administration of State Health Services (ASSE). “It hurts us to travel around the country and to be told that the polyclinics do not work, that the specialists do not come, there are no hours for the doctor, there are no medications. “That happens everywhere,” lamented the candidate.
Meanwhile, he also shot at the Ministry of Social Development by ensuring that there are neighborhoods where people still live in the mud. “The other day we toured an area of Casavalle, people are living in the mud. Waiting for the State to give them something; There is nothing, the Mides no longer responds. There is nothing on the horizon,” he lamented, adding that the government errs on the side of overdoing construction announcements that it then does not fulfill.
