Esteban Valenti, responsible for the communication of the campaign in favor of the repeal, wrote on his Twitter account: “Óscar Bacot, founder of the MGM representative studio, is one of the organizers of marches in favor of the LUC. Chance?”.
Valenti joined a previous comment by the president of the Broad Front, Fernando Pereira, who had mentioned “external pressure” from the multinational to hinder the campaign.
The promoters of the repeal showed a Facebook post from 2019 in which Bacot organized a horseback ride to accompany the inauguration of President Luis Lacalle Pou.
Before a query from El Observador, the lawyer replied: “What do I have to hide? Why didn’t I vote for them? Of course, and I will continue organizing them (the marches) so that in 2025 a reasonable government returns like the one we have today.”
Bacot is also behind the organization of marches called in all the departments for March 6 in defense of the government of Lacalle Pou and the LUC, a mega-law that includes reforms in various fields and whose partial content will be put up for discussion in the referendum. on the 27th of that month.
The lawyer denied, however, any political intent in the presentation made on behalf of MGM, since it was “my private activity in a law firm in which we are dedicated to representing trademarks and patents.”
The Ancap Federation -the union that brings together the workers of the state oil company- received an injunction last Monday from the scribe Bacot so that in 24 hours it would stop using the figure and music of the Pink Panther in the campaign for the consultation .
According to the minutes disclosed by Fancap, the firm explained that it is “owner of the copyright of the registered works” of the Pink Panther.
The text specified that “exclusive rights” cover “the figure of the Pink Panther and the sound of this short film”, and requested the “immediate cessation of any unauthorized use” of the animated character and the withdrawal of “all forms of advertising, promotional or propaganda”, according to the site of La Diaria.
“Given the notoriety of the Pink Panther series of ‘comedy mystery films’, the reputation of its logo and its music, its image is chosen by its consumers and they are therefore subject to protection against unfair competition and any other use not authorized by the firm that owns it,” the text explained.
Uruguayans will go to a referendum on March 27 to repeal or ratify 135 articles of the LUC, a central norm of the Luis Lacalle Pou administration, questioned by an alliance of union, social, feminist and political organizations.
The ballots, by decision of the Electoral Court, will be pink for Yes (to the repeal) and light blue for No, an issue that was also objected to by the opposition, since it is related to the rejection of the modification to the color identified with the country, which is even used as a synonym to name the sports teams that represent Uruguay.
