The Vice President of Uruguay, Beatriz Argimón, returned to Uruguay in the early hours of Sunday morning, after the mission of the IPU. He noted that “both parliaments accepted that this work, which was entrusted to us by the Interparliamentary Union, was possible. There was a lot of preparing a delegation that was going to have a tour of non-permitted airspaces ».
The Vice President maintained that this “included an operation by different governments that contributed to making this work possible.”
He mentioned that “there was a plane assigned to this operation by the United Arab Emirates, which allowed it to be reached. We had tours with a lot of custody and security, “said Argimón.
He described that it is “a scenario where a lot of dialogue is missing. The two countries gave us their perspective and evaluation, in addition to conveying their willingness to dialogue. “There was a lot of tension in the area, especially when we got closer to where there was shelling. Going through those areas with the neighbors, it became very emotional in those passages ».
‘”For our children”‘ they told Argimon
Argimón was asked about how a Parliament at war works, and she replied that it was something that “impressed her”. “Entering a Parliament protected with sandbags from possible attacks was one of the moments where the need to advance the dialogue was seen.”
The demonstrations of “society against pain” was something that impressed her. “Once the meeting with the Ukrainian Parliament was over, a Ukrainian parliamentarian told me ‘”you will understand that we resist for our children’”.
