He President of the Broad Front (FA), Fernando Pereiraaccused some leaders of the National Party (PN) to attack and spread “knowingly” and “systematically” fake news against its political strength, with the aim of deceiving the population.
Last Monday, the Political Committee of the FA met to analyze the government’s failure to comply with the “ethical pact against the generation and promotion of fake news,” which was signed by the political parties with parliamentary representation in April of this year.
After the meeting, Pereira said in a press conference that the violation of the pact is “extremely serious” and that the left-wing coalition has already had to deal with “several fake news stories” during the current electoral campaign.
“We had to go through the episode of Romina Celeste reported the candidate (Yamandú) Orsi“That was fake news that complicated the Frente Amplio campaign,” the party leader recalled about the false accusation.
“Now the senator (Graciela) White accuses the senator with a false publication (Oscar) AndradeShe does it, she says, knowing that the publication was false, and this is doubly serious. On the one hand, it is a personal seriousness, that the first senator of the government publishes a false news even though she knows it was false, and then there is a partisan responsibility,” said Pereira.
The Frente Amplio member went further and questioned Bianchi’s role in the campaign, stating that it had become fashionable for the senator to “lie systematically.” “Anyone who lies systematically is a liar,” he emphasized.
“It is inexplicable why Delgado does not say anything clearly”
Asked about the PN’s silence regarding Bianchi’s actions, the FA leader said that “it is inexplicable why (Alvaro) Slim “He doesn’t say anything clearly,” referring to the presidential candidate. “He’s not from any list, he’s from Delgado’s list,” he said.
Pereira also expressed his concern after a PN councillor in Saint Joseph proposed the “banning” of Communist Party of Uruguay (PCU). “Is no one in the National Party going to do anything about this number of arbitrary events?” he asked.
