Sanguinetti dedicated his opinion column in the Friday Mail to refer to the Forestry Law of the Open Council, which had the support of the Broad Front and which the Presidency vetoed it.
The former president assured that at the time he insisted to the leader of the Cabildo Abierto, Guido Manini Ríos, that his concerns could be addressed, but a Law, “changing the rules of the game and establishing unacceptable prohibitions for freedom of work and even property, it was not good for the country ”.
“We seek ways of conciliation, as has been demonstrated with a recent Decree, but nothing was made possible. Cabildo Abierto is behind its project, on behalf of some producers who feel lagging behind due to afforestation, an inevitable consequence of the factor of progress that it represented, valuing the fields, providing well-paid work, moving the entire national logistics chain, “said Sanguinetti .
The imposition does not take place
He questioned Manini Ríos’ qualifications on the government’s progress, which he accused of “lukewarmness.”
“From now on we do not share that qualifier and we regret it. We put it to the account of a new party that is making its way and that, perhaps, has not yet fully assumed the limitations that politics supposes, with its necessary transactions in a democratic life in which imposition does not take place ”, he remarked.
Sanguinetti also stated that the situation “reveals, once again, the role of Batllismo in the coalition, with a constructive vocation and guaranteeing republican principles.”
