The National Party candidate for vice president of the Republic said that “pigs like mud” and that she would not enter into controversy.
The candidate for vice president of the Republic for the National Party (PN), Valeria Ripollaccused the Broad Front (FA) of wanting to dirty the campaign with “mud”, after receiving a police report for alleged harassment of an 86-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man who are neighbors of his sister Joana, also reported.
Ripoll, who these days began his tours of different peripheral neighborhoods of Montevideoassured Telemundo that “he will not enter into that level of campaign,” since he understands that the FA used the complaint against him politically.
“We have a campaign of proposals, of coming to talk to people, mud is not for us,” said Ripoll and added: “Pigs like mud, we don’t like it, those who like to be at that level should stay.”
In this regard, the former general secretary of the Association of Municipal Employees and Workers (Adeom) stated that the FA “is very bothered” to see white leaders touring the neighborhoods of Montevideo.
“Municipal services are of very poor quality”
For Ripoll, in most of these neighborhoods “the apathy” of the Montevideo City Hallsince there are no streets or there are no cleaning services. “People keep telling you that municipal services are of very poor quality and they don’t even arrive,” said Ripoll and said that the Municipality F must agree with the Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP) or the Office of Planning and Budget (OPP), since the Municipality does not provide sufficient resources.
“I don’t believe in coincidences, but I think the objective of the actions is to take us out of the spotlight, they don’t want us in this campaign of closeness,” Ripoll stressed. “It bothers them a lot to see the National Party Going house to house, covering a territory that they believe they own,” he said.
