Cannelloni, ready
For his part, the mayor of Cannelloni, Marcelo Metediera, He expressed his willingness to carry out the competition procedure for admission to the mayoralties. “It is what gives the most transparency, what gives the most certainty and peace of mind. There is no need to do it any other way,” he commented.
However, he ruled out that the issue would be addressed in the Council of Mayors“It will be difficult for anyone to raise the issue. We are going to look at some of the projects that are on the table and what their fate may be and, based on that, analyze it,” he said.
A project that never happened and the attempt at a plebiscite
Previously, this project had been presented by the then senator, Adrian Pena, who died after a fatal traffic accident. The initiative had also been supported by the Broad Front unanimously, as well as the Colorado Party and Cabildo Abierto. However, the lack of support from the National Party caused it to ultimately not be approved.
The text proposed by Peña stated that “the income and promotions of personnel in the Departmental Governments “They must be carried out through public competitions, held in accordance with the principles of publicity, transparency and equal opportunities and the fair balance between technical capacity and the merits and background of each person.”
“In the absence of such a procedure, staff recruitment may be carried out through public draws called and held by the Departmental Governments, in accordance with the principles of publicity, transparency and equal opportunities,” the project added.
After Peña’s accident, from the sector of Citizens They decided to hold a plebiscite in honor of the senator. However, he did not get the necessary support from the Broad Front to be able to prosper with the initiative.
