In its this week’s columnfor the Friday Mail, Former President Julio María Sanguinetti targeted the Broad Front (FA) and the National Human Rights Institution (Inddhh), which he accused of “helping criminals.”.
The general secretary of the Colorado Party (PC) described the Inddhh as “implausible” and said that “it ignores legality and runs over national history in a totalitarian way.” “It is the pretense of imposing an officialist history, just as communism did in the late USSR and Kirchnerism in our sister Argentina”assured.
In addition, he made reference to the questions raised by the Inddhh to the Law of Urgent Consideration (LUC) and the current government, on police conduct.
“He leaves, two weeks before a referendum, to challenge the law. A State institution assumes the right to question a law sanctioned in accordance with the Constitution. And he does it in the middle of a political debate, with an intention that is stripped bare in all its crudeness by the opportunity. They try to influence the popular definition, echoing the insistent preaching of the supporters of repealing the lawsays the column.
He made reference to two norms that the Inddhh criticizes: the claim that “unless there is evidence to the contrary, the police act in accordance with the law”, and the increase in the “detention period before informing the prosecutor, from 2 to 4 hours”. “Is it that serious?” she wondered. “Every term is conventional, there is no exact science,” acknowledged the former president, “but no one in their right mind can imagine that this is opening the way to torture in an absolutely democratic country”.
“They start from an implausible accusation from the Association of Public Defenders who denounced a hundred possible abuses to the Justice, without any judge paying any attention to them. In a word, nothing serious, that is, cheating, defamatory construction, attempt to demonize to the police when the curve of crime begins to reverse”, affirmed the general secretary of the CP.
“Even though it hurts him to hear it, he’s helping criminals”sentenced.
On the other hand, he harshly criticized the FA. “It has lost all autonomy and is led by the PIT-CNT,” he stated.. “The case of the March 8 march is conclusive. This year the PIT-CNT decided that the march belonged to them,” Sanguinetti said.
He also indicated that the current leaders of the leftist coalition they do not have “the historical weight of Vázquez, Mujica or Astori”that they did “have margins of action”. “The current frontline proto-candidates, mayors themselves, totally lack the independence to act. They take refuge in their tasks and do not influence fundamental political issues that deserve respect and serious consideration,” the former president stated.
