There are still more than three months to go until the elections October, but the candidates that make up the formula of the National Party They do not want to let a campaign that left much to be desired in terms of citizen interpellation cool down; taking advantage of the low profile that the Broad Front after the internal elections. The possibility – and insistence – of making a debate It is presented as the chosen tool to continue polarizing with the left-wing coalition.
With more cameras on the work meetings to close the unity program and with the surprising prominence of Valeria Ripoll after being confirmed as vice presidential candidate and running mate of Alvaro Delgado, he National Party remains very present in electoral activity. The poor results of June 30 – or, at least, lower than expected – boost its presence in a scenario that, for the moment, Broad Front does not seem eager to occupy.
In this sense, the debate is increasingly becoming a possible meeting point between the two main political sectors, fueled by the white ranks as prison factor on the opposition.
For example, and when asked about this, Delgado said that he wants to debate “ideas and proposals.” “We are not going to enter into personal attacks. We want a debate of ideasof proposals. The debate on proposals will always be welcome,” he said.
Although he maintained that the format in which this discussion can take place is indistinct, he did not rule it out as a possibility: “I think that the opportunity for debate is good in order to exchange views with other visions of the country. I am not raising it with the government coalition, obviously it is with the “Broad Front”.
For his part, Ripoll again insisted on the debate of vice-presidential candidates, in his role as opponent of Carolina Cosse, while “it is fundamental in democracy to put on the table programs, compare equipment and analyze “management”, because “debates enrich.”
He also expressed his disagreement with the statements made by the Frente Amplio president. Fernando Pereira, He said that this type of debate was something “far away” and regretted that there was not, in the campaign for the primaries, “a deep debate of programs.”
In that sense, he said that “Yamandu Orsi did not put a big issue on the table,” and noted that, as a result of the social security plebiscite that drives the PIT-CNT It is necessary to have “definitions.” “It would be contradictory to have one candidate against and one in favor,” he said.
Ripoll also insisted that he wants to discuss the “programmatic lines in each of the branches,” something he considers “important in view of the elections in October and November.”
