Alvaro Delgado was consulted by Underlined about the possibility of him being a presidential candidate for the National Party and replied that “it is a topic for next year.” Delgado stressed that this moment is to support President Luis Lacalle Pou, “managing the government.” “We cannot contaminate the government by advancing electoral processes”, he remarked.
“Now we are with the youth elections, completely decoupled from internal elections, from the National Party. From the middle of next year we are going to start talking about electoral issues. Now, in my capacity as Secretary of the Presidency, we have to put our foot on the accelerator in a number of management projects: sanitation, the Avanzar plan for settlements, large projects that involve a lot of employment, and in that we are helping to monitor so that materialize in time and in form, because it means work for the people”, he explained.
Delgado also responded to the president of the Broad Front, Fernando Pereira, who criticized the education reform of the government and said that teachers still do not know what education is going to be like in Uruguay.
“We are getting used to the fact that every day the president of the Broad Front holds a press conference criticizing some aspect of the government. 15 years of the FA government. They were going to change the DNA of education, with their own majority as they had and an economic boom, and once again the unions conditioned any type of initiative on it,” said the secretary of the Presidency. “Fernando Pereira’s criticism in this case is more of the same,” he added.
