The presidential candidate of the Colorado Party believes that the social security reform promoted by the trade union is of a “sixties” nature.
He presidential candidate of the Colorado Party (PC), Andres Ojedacalled “Bolivian” the plebiscite driven by the PIT-CNTwhich proposes a series of reforms to social security and the elimination of the Pension Savings Fund Administrators ( AFAP), which generated criticism from both the ruling party and the opposition.
Last Tuesday, after an event held by the Union of Exporters of Uruguay (UEU) in which the President of the Republic Luis Lacalle Pou and the four presidential candidates of the governing alliance, Ojeda stressed in a press conference his rejection of the ballot proposed by the union leadership.
“We must try not to return to the past,” said Ojeda, adding: “To return to the past today is to promote a Bolivarian and 1960s reform of social security.”
The Colorado leader went further and said that in the upcoming October elections “the new” will be measured against “the old”, alluding to the successive governments of Broad Front (FA) during the past periods.
“I hope no more cases of corruption occur”
On the other hand, Ojeda referred to the acts of corruption in the Artigas Municipalitywhich ended with the conviction, disqualification and consequent resignation of the now former mayor and former member of the National Party (PN), Pablo Caram“I hope that no more cases of corruption occur in any government of anyone, because that is bad for the Uruguay“.
“I don’t like trying to benefit from these things, it seems to me, at some point, even mean-spirited. I think that no party benefits from having cases of corruption because it does not do politics any good and the political system is based on its credibility,” he stressed. “Cases of corruption are a huge blow to credibility,” concluded the PC candidate.
