The candidate for the Colorado Party, Andres Ojedacriticized the statements of Yamandú Orsi on the plebiscite on night raids and said that the Frente Amplio candidate “stuttered” on the subject and invited him to read the proposal.
Last Saturday, at a press conference, the Frente Amplio candidate spoke about the plebiscite on night raids and said that he was not completely convinced by the proposal. “The debate on raids It requires solvency, it requires studying, knowing what we are talking about. Yesterday I heard Yamandú Orsi stammering about this. I listened attentively and did not get a single idea out of it,” Ojeda said.
In this regard, Ojeda stopped explaining what the objective of the plebiscite is. “Today in Uruguay “Night raids already exist, they are only prohibited to enter a home, that is, a place where a family lives, where a family sleeps, but if I have to raid a warehouse at night, where there are people who suddenly sleep but it is not their home, today the State can do it with a court order, like any other raid,” he said.
“So, it is very important to understand what we are talking about before giving an opinion. The guarantees for a search are not given by day, night, nap, or breakfast, they are given by a judge of the Republic And tomorrow a prosecutor will have to argue before a judge when requesting a search, why he wants to do it at night and eventually the judge will have to authorize it at night with the arguments given,” he stressed.
“Nobody here ever said that this was the magic solution to anything, now, nobody can deny that it is a tool “It is useful. And I do not like to amputate tools that can be positive for certain things in the country for free. We have studied, worked on and gone into depth on the subject, on the other side I saw stuttering and talentlessness,” he commented. “This is a serious debate for Uruguay, it is about public safety, I am willing to discuss this issue with anyone, but first they have to read, otherwise it is very difficult,” he added.
What did Orsi say?
Last Saturday, at a press conference held in the department of LeapOrsi said he has “the inclination to think” that the initiative is “a kind of opportunity to gain electoral gains on the back of a campaign.”
Immediately afterwards, the former Canarian leader, who was accompanied by his running mate Carolina Cosseassured that he made this assumption on a personal level and that “it is on his own.”
“I am always interested and concerned about an isolated, one-off solution to resolve the security issue,” said the presidential candidate, adding: “This has been discussed for some time and I am not refusing to analyze it.”
In that sense, he said that “what is known is that it is not a measure that in the world, where it is applied, gives immediate results” and that he was talking with “people from Home Office” who expressed their concern about the plebiscite.
“They say ‘mommy’, then you have to go, eh,” Orsi reflected and recalled that “sometimes mistakes are made” by the National Policeand that these are even more feasible at night.
“I am not refusing to discuss it within the framework of a much more global security project, where we cannot be discussing only night raids and not getting to grips with the issue of money laundering,” he said.
