The president of the Frente Amplio (FA), Fernando Pereiraspoke about the possibility that Gabriel Oddone be Minister of Economy in a supposed Frente Amplio government and commented on some of the differences he has with the economist in relation to the salary.
Pereira assured that if the Broad Front wins the next elections, the government of Yamandú Orsi There will be no salary loss and, if the economy grows, salaries will also grow. In this regard, he spoke about the differences that Oddone has regarding salary.
“The difference is in how it is put together wage guideline, And if this is taken into account, inflation or not, but in both cases it can lead to economic growth,” he said, speaking to Teledoce, and commented that “during the campaign everything increases a bit” with respect to the controversy that was generated around it.
Small differences
On the other hand, Pereira highlighted that Oddone is “a guy he values a lot” and one of the most important economists in the world. Uruguay, He did, however, mention other conceptual differences between him and him. “In a country where inflation is stable, for example in the Nordic countries, where it is always 3%, 2%, one can think that one can set a salary increase figure without worrying so much about inflation,” he said.
“That is not applicable in Uruguay, a country with a lot of inflation instability, whose percentage is very supported by the value of the dollar, which is currently flat,” he commented and added: “The Broad Front “He says that if the economy grows, wages will grow. And we are going to protect workers’ wages, they will never grow below inflation.”
Regarding the difference with Oddone, Pereira stressed that “it was not a huge difference and it will not be, and there are not two economical teams.” “That is Álvaro Delgado’s fantasy, who is a little nervous,” he said.
Delgado’s invitation and Pereira’s response
Yesterday the candidate for the National Party (PN), Alvaro Delgadoincited the Broad Front that the economic teams of both parties discuss the measures to be applied in their eventual governments. A taunt by the former presidential secretary regarding Orsi’s refusal to participate in informal debates with other candidates, as well as in reference to the controversy surrounding the economic team of the Frente Amplio that has not yet been defined.
“They are all worried about Orsi” because the party has a voting intention of between 45 and 47%, and therefore they attack him,” he said.
Meanwhile, in relation to the presentation of Diego Labat As Minister of Economy for the PN, if he wins, he responded to pressure from Delgado: “Why do we have to do the same as Delgado if he has just failed in government? Why am I going to copy someone who has failed?” “The country does not elect a Minister of Economy but a president,” he said.
