The senator for the National Party, Gustavo Penadés, wanted to send a message to the mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse, to whom he recommended “that silence be called for a few days, do a retrospective and then start working again to find agreements with the other political parties to see if he can get those resources that he supposedly needs to solve those problems.”
In an interview with Radio Monte Carlo, Penades added that “he was very sorry” that the mayor had “those statements”, alluding to the words of the capital’s hierarch after learning that the multi-colored coalition had blocked the loans that the IM had planned to take. of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
“Actually, the first idea that came to my mind when I heard it was ‘in politics there is nothing that pays more than playing the victim,'” added the legislator.
“What it conveys is a certain degree of frustration and the impossibility of having had the ability to reach agreements that were very close to materializing, and that if they did not materialize it was precisely due to the whim of the departmental government of Montevideo of wanting to carry out a loan with Inter-American Development Bank in which the priorities were not fixed on the issues that the National Party understood as fundamental”, he continued.
“Perhaps, rather than accusing the parties that did not vote yesterday for the project in accordance with the IDB, the mayor would have to call upon an important introspective to be able to objectively see and analyze what it was that she failed to achieve those agreements that they could have been achieved”, the white legislator continued arguing.
