The pre-candidate for the presidency of Uruguay for him National Party, Laura Raffocriticized the economic proposals launched by his possible opponent of the Frente Amplio, Carolina cosse, within the framework of his “Country Plan”, and assured that “more seriousness” is needed.
“Yesterday Cosse talked about creating a industrial background, a dynamic fund, he had spoken of 30,000 jobs guaranteed by the State, many funds that are going to be created, but with what funds are they going to be paid? Where is the budget for those funds? We need more seriousness,” he said. Raffo after a campaign tour through the city of Bull Pass, in Tacuarembo.
Among the new proposals, Cosse proposed launching a “infrastructure shock” with the aim of boosting the economy and generating solutions for specific social sectors. This would imply, according to the estimates of the mayor of Montevideo in license use, investments of between three and five points of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Faced with this initiative, Raffo He pointed out that Uruguayans “already know” what has happened in Frente Amplio administrations that have “misused funds and left the country in big problems.” And he gave as an example what happened with Uruguay Wings, the Uruguayan airline created after the closure of Pluna in 2012, during the government of former president Jose Mujica.
“We are a political movement that every proposal that is put on the table has been measured, studied and can be implemented as of March 1, 2025,” said the nationalist candidate.
More care policies
For its part, cosse continues his career towards the interior of the Broad Front, and presented the second part of her Country Plan, the proposals that she promises to promote in an eventual government that has her at the head; where the fulfillment of the Law of National Integrated Care System had its leading place.
“There is no inclusive productive development without a strengthened care systemwith a gender perspective and with financing that allows the maintenance of the Public politics over time,” states the document published on the Broad Front candidate’s website, introducing the set of measures that she will seek to carry out.

The objective is to be able to provide care alternatives and, thus, contribute to maintaining the attendance of people who carry out care tasks – mainly women – to educational centers, so that they can continue their training.
As a second action, the Frente Amplista candidate proposes expanding the number of full-time or extended-time schools throughout the country, as well as the promotion of agreements with organizations such as the National Organization of Retirees and Pensioners of Uruguay (Onajpu) for the generation of recreation and care spaces for the elderly —or day centers. This, so that “motherhood and the difficulties of caring for the elderly” are not a factor with a negative impact on “the academic achievements and the possibility of job placement of those who are responsible for these populations.”
