The Ministry of the Interior concluded the investigation of the events that occurred on Friday, March 25, at the Abraham Paladino Park of Club Progreso, and confirmed that the operation carried out in the official team store “It was routine and as is done in all sporting events”, in search of “weapons, drugs or prohibited items”, according to a statement released Tuesday.
In this way, the Ministry of the Interior maintains the version that it raised when the situation was barely known.
The incident occurred when the manager of the store, Daniel Nusa, entered the premises to place the merchandise for the premises. Nusa told M24 that in the first instance they didn’t want to let him go because he had a Yes to the repeal of the LUC flag in the car.
While ordering supplies from the store, a police officer told him that they had to do a search in search of political contentsomething that the person in charge maintains they also told a member of the Progress Security commission.
“It is ruled out outright that the procedure carried out was a control in search of support elements for the Yes campaign”contradicts the Secretary of State in the published text.
Depending on the portfolio, this control is carried out both the public and suppliers, as in this case the club store. “In this particular case, the control was carried out inside the official store, since the person in charge of it He arrived with the mounted police operation and unloaded and brought the packages into the premises without being able to be inspected beforehand.“, continues the statement.
Tabare’s shirt
The Ministry denied that fans with Tabaré Vázquez’s shirt were prohibited from entering, as Nusa also maintained.
Estela Giordano, from the Socios de Progreso commission, denounced in an interview with MVD Noticias (TV Ciudad) that a policewoman He did not let her enter the court in the first instance because she had a t-shirt with Vázquez’s face on it and “it was political”to which she replied that it was her team’s shirt, a version that coincides with the story of the store manager.
The police called one of his colleagues, who allowed Giordano access. Despite the fact that for her “it was a fact of no relevance”, the member of the commission denounced that Yes masks and violet scarves alluding to feminism were removed at the entrance.
“I’m 48 years old, I’ve always been to the court, I never experienced a situation where they didn’t want to let me in with a Tabaré Vázquez shirt“criticized Giordano, who believes that the Ministry of the Interior he had “another order” different from the “usual procedures”, and that it was “something personal” with Progreso.
