The cooperative movement and housing were some of the issues that were the subject of consultation. Within the framework of the territorial development program, the inter-cooperative table of Colonia was inaugurated, and Fuentes explained the characteristics of the activity, how the authorities are chosen and the activities carried out by the confederation.
The directive explained that “the bases of the table, Intercooperativa de Colonia, were laid down.” He added that “for the cooperative movement, setting up tables in the territories is a fundamental thing for corporatism is in the territory, which leads us to refound our principles of intercooperation.” “That is why this time we have installed in the territories, what it means is that we respect the Latin idiosyncrasy and the characteristics of each territory, that for us the development of cooperativism in the territory is fundamental and to be able to do it through the tables. It is one more milestone for us”, he affirmed.
Regarding the tables, he said that up to now there are ten installed, and with the one presented in Colonia, number 11 is reached. What for us it will be possible to continue in this line to install a table in each department, and thus continue working in that direction.
On the reality of the cooperative movement in the department of Colonia, Fuentes replied that “we saw that the largest number of cooperatives in the territory are housing ones. There are around more than 40 housing cooperatives. Then there is an important development in agricultural and work. In work, distributed between work and social. But the social ones have a different characteristic is that there we have around 29 already seen and contacted. Then follow the agrarian ones and those of savings and credit and consumption of consumption ”.
The authorities of the Confederation choose their vote from their associates. Cudecoop is like a third-tier organization, which is why it is made up of Cooperative Federations in their different modalities, Fuentes explained.
“When I say different modalities, it is that we have work, agriculture, savings and credit, consumption and housing. On November 15, the Ordinary General Assembly was held, in which the different affiliates participated, and that assembly elects a Board of Directors and an Executive. The Board of Directors is made up of 15 members and an Executive, in which we define that it is essential that all modalities are represented. So, when electing the Executive made up of five members, it was established in advance that there would be a representation of each of the modalities so that we all had a voice and vote in that body that is the most of all days. There, a president (Alicia Maneiro), a secretary, two vice-presidents and a treasurer were elected. I am the first vice president,” she replied.
