He said he would do everything possible to prevent it from being approved. If the Yes vote wins and he is president, he will seek “mechanisms” to nullify it.
The presidential candidate Uruguay by the National Party, Alvaro Delgadoreferred again to the social security plebiscite driven by the PIT-CNT as an “inconvenient and dangerous” proposal for the country, and maintained that, if approved in October, “we must seek mechanisms to repeal it”.
The plebiscites, Both night raids and social security – although the latter to a greater extent, due to the consequences warned by specialists – are at the center of the electoral campaign. With some moments that sparked controversy, with the refusal of the candidate for vice president of the Broad Front, Carolina Cosseto apply night raids if approved as the most recent; now Slim He said that, if the initiative promoted by the union is approved, “mechanisms must be found to repeal it.”
“We are going to work tirelessly so that this irresponsibility, this madness, this proposal that is inconvenient and dangerous for the Uruguay economic, for the Uruguay pension plan, for the future of today’s workers and future workers, does not prosper,” he said during an event organized by the B’nai B’rithwhich he attended as a guest. “Surely the next day the country risk will skyrocket. It is a collapse, an irresponsibility,” he insisted.
Slim He also assured that, in what remains of the campaign until October, “we will insist that it cannot be approved, that people do not approve the plebiscite against the social security system.” For this reason, he urged once again that the Frente Amplio “define itself as a political party,” beyond the fact that its presidential formula has already positioned itself against the proposal, as well as several of its political and economic leaders.
“Let the FA formula no longer say it quietly or with guilt, say I am against the plebiscite that overthrows the social security system and generates a collapse in Uruguay”, he added.
Could the security plebiscite be repealed if approved?
“Obviously if that comes out later we will look for mechanisms (to repeal it) always respecting sovereignty and popular will”, Delgado said about the future of the constitutional reform on social security in his eventual government. “There are (mechanisms) and it is very difficult. But it will always go through a single filter, which is the filter of the people voting. We, unlike what has happened in recent days, are clear: there is something that is respected and it is the people deciding at the polls,” he said.

PIT-CNT: to nullify the reform through a “constitutional law” or promoting the collection of signatures to generate a new plebiscite on this topic.
