«And what the North American citizens, from what I understand, in terms of normality in the electoral climate, if the North American citizens resolved, is always a recognition of a system that has to continue functioning and that at some point, a few years ago , generated some concern, because it is always healthy for democracy to be the one that decides,” Orsi said. Furthermore, the politician emphasized that, despite the international relevance of the event, he does not maintain a direct link with the North American authorities. «Is there any link, meeting us, saying hello? No, no, no, no. “I am not a national authority,” he added.
Orsi also referred to the recent dismissal of Víctor Bjorgan, leader of the National Party, from the Intelligence Secretariat. Bjorgan had announced her support for Orsi’s candidacy last week, creating a stir across the political spectrum.
Regarding this fact, the candidate maintained: “What is happening to us, with some adhesions, is that it is a natural process where, instead of saying, we are going to go search, we show who the people are.” Orsi also mentioned that Inspector Rivero, former security advisor to Ernesto Talvi, expressed his support.
The dismissal of Bjorgan, who publicly decided to support Orsi’s candidacy, was seen by the Broad Front candidate as a worrying sign. «One of the people who decided to support his candidacy was expelled from the job he had. So, we got off to a bad start,” he concluded, suggesting that the action could be interpreted as political retaliation.
