“We started the campaign in an area of Montevideo which some call “la loma del quinoto”, which is very dear to me because I was born near there,” he recalled and highlighted the inauguration of the Antel Arena in the surrounding area, which he considered “a magnificent intervention for sports, culture and health.”
“Hopefully life can take me back to that area like President of the Republic, but not only there, hopefully in all neighborhoods. To work with people, as we did with him ABC plan. We are going to come back and it depends entirely on us because, as I said Artigas, We can expect nothing but from ourselves.”
Criticism of the Lacalle Pou government
When referring to the government of the president Luis Lacalle Pou, Cosse stated that “there are two possible paths: a progressive one and a conservative one that continues to decline.” Along these lines, he compared: “It is very easy to see that this government is in decline if one compares it with the enormous advances that the Uruguay with the governments of Broad Front”.
“There is no smile or selfie that can hide how conservative this government is. “He has communicated very well, but he has been very bad at transforming reality,” said the FA representative.

If the FA made its program based on surveys, it would not have been founded. And yet, here we are, stronger than ever.”
“If everyone does what they have to do, the FA will win. The only one survey what is worth in the urns. So, what we have to do is fill them with votes and defend each vote with joy, inviting people to make history, which is not done every day,” Cosse redoubled the bet.
Education, science and health
