Although this week the Plenary of the party will meet to define how they will address the issue – at the moment the “leeway” voted in December—the former mayor of cannelloni He referred to the matter and was emphatic in pointing out that his campaign will focus on “fighting for the triumph of the “Broad Front” and not in going against the constitutional reform promoted by the PIT-CNT, as the parties in the governing coalition intend to do.
He also assured that he and Cosse agree that “social security, as it is, is not sustainable” —one of the reasons why the leader of the Popular Participation Movement (MPP) did not sign the joint declaration with the other presidential candidates—, even though they may later come to differ with the former mayor of Montevideo on the October referendum.

If there were signs for so long, as some legislators of the National Party say, action should have been taken earlier for the good of all,” added the candidate of the National Party. Broad Front.
“I am very surprised that each of the cases is an isolated case and no one has anything to do with it, or I didn’t know. Be careful with that. And there are things that still need to be clarified,” he warned, adding that “not a week goes by without some surprise.”
