The president of the National Party board of directors, Pablo Iturralde, celebrated this Monday the start of the campaign for the No to the repeal of the Law of Urgent Consideration (LUC), less than two months before the referendum is held. The lawyer asked the militants to get involved in the discussion ahead of March 27 and assured that the instance calls into question “the right to govern”, which, in his opinion, the parties of the ruling coalition should have.
“We feel that what they are questioning us is the right to govern, which was legitimately granted to us by the citizens,” he said.
“Parliament approved that law unanimously. Naturally, exercising its right, the opposition then began a path through which today citizens have to express themselves. (…) We understand that the citizenship mandate had given us the possibility of govern according to our powers,” he insisted.
Iturralde explained that from the ruling party they will promote a campaign to highlight the beneficial points of the law, with tours of different neighborhoods and departments.
“Today we begin to walk a path of defense of the LUC because throughout the last electoral campaign we made a commitment to carry out certain solutions, which is what we have tried to do in this time. (…) We have demanded that it be tell us how the good coexistence of citizens is hindered by this law; we have not found a single answer,” he clarified.
In turn, he pointed out that not only the government, parliamentarians and political parties must inform about the campaign, but also the rest of the citizens. And so he expressed it: “We want to ask citizens to get involved in this discussion, to talk to their family, neighbors, friends, to go through all the relationships and friends they may have to convince them of the need to maintain this law, which in a year and a half of validity has only brought solutions to the Uruguayans”.
