«I think it was, it was very timely for the president to recognize some things. Firstly, that the Canelones trusts financed by Afaps were positive. It’s a shame that he ordered a vote against when the National Party wanted Calderones to vote in favor,” said Orsi, pointing out the contradiction in the president’s position. “It’s good that he recognizes that he was wrong.”
Orsi also highlighted the president’s admission that “in the election campaign he spoke without knowing.” The Broad Front candidate warned that making unsupported promises during electoral times can be “very dangerous” and criticized that “being president of the Republic implies a gesture of responsibility that what one proposes has to know that it can be fulfilled and will be done.” ». «We cannot now, it seems to me that it is not right, say ‘I said it and I didn’t know’. There are too many expectations that our people have for us, during the electoral campaign, to play on the promise of easy things when we know that suddenly they cannot come true,” he added.
Asked about the president’s opinion regarding the constitutional reform that will be put to a plebiscite, Orsi agreed that “it is inconvenient and not positive.” “I saw that he emphasizes those two words, some analyst told him to do it,” he commented. “Let’s look for the terms we’re looking for, in an electoral campaign we look for impactful phrases, that’s fine, but I think it’s inconvenient and doesn’t take us on a good path,” concluded the Frente-Amplista candidate.
