The Uruguayan team took to the field of the Centenario Stadium this Thursday night, wearing light blue and pink clothing, in coincidence with the proposal made by former senator Lucía Topolansky from Frente Amplio. Although the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) did not accept the proposal, the players wore a light blue shirt and a pink vest during the warm-up prior to the match.
The campus does the warm-up as usual, with that clothing.
Topolansky made the statement at a press conference on March 16 in Florida. “I don’t know if the AUF will take it to me: on 24 the shirt has to be up to here, on one side light blue and on the other pink”he said then.
The next day, the president of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), Ignacio Alonso, rejected the proposal. He then said to Telemundo (channel 12) that the organism took with “humor” the idea. “We have the official clothing that is a symbol of the AUF and the country. We are not going to access it,” express.
However, the former representative claimed this week that her proposal was not taken with humor. And she clarified that she proposed it with some seriousness, due to the inequality – according to what she said – that there is between the commands in the face of the referendum against 135 articles of the Law of Urgent Consideration (LUC), which will be held this Sunday. Topolansky understands that the color light blue is the color of the country, and the promoters of the Yes – in pink – are at a disadvantage.
“There has to be a certain question of balance. (On the one hand there is) a chain that will be seven, eight minutes long (in favor of the Yes) and on the other hand a press conference that would have to be in that time in any case, but it will not be like that, ”he had pointed out. last week.
“We already have an imbalance. Also for the president of all Uruguayans to take a stand. That had never been seen. In the government of Lacalle’s father, there was an important plebiscite on public companies and the then president did not come out (…) This is a novelty that I do not like. Beyond all the discussion of colors,” he added.
