Senator and leader of Town meeting, Guido Manini Rioshighlighted the contributions of his sector for the social security reform. He affirmed that the project that entered Parliament this Friday is better than the draft presented by the Executive Branch.
“We believe that it contemplates many aspects that we were interested in contemplating,” he indicated. Manini Ríos recalled that he sent President Luis Lacalle Pou and the team that was drafting the project, “a few points that we understood needed to be corrected from the draft and some of them were essential for us.”
“We all have the conviction that it is necessary to reform the social security system,” he stressed.
Regarding the position of Cabildo Abierto in the parliamentary debate, Manini Ríos announced that “there are some points that we are going to discuss”, although he avoided giving details about what they will be so as not to generate expectations.
“Everything here is about discussing, talking, listening. Now, a stage is opening in which dozens of delegations from the different groups affected by the proposed law will attend Parliament, ”he stated.
“You also have to listen to the people. The parliamentary debate is for that, to listen and improve what can be improved, and that is what we are going to try to do”, she pointed out.
