Herrerismo carried out its National Congress last Saturday, where a balance was made of the management of Luis Lacalle Pou. In addition, the current that owes its name to Luis Alberto de Herrera, presented a balance as a sector that is part of the Government.
“Historically it has expressed its vocation for government and transformation” since in its “condition of the backbone of the National Party”, its representatives “have been in the front row” in “defense and support of the coalition government” headed by Lacalle Pou.
“The government protected the health of Uruguayans and the health of the national economy, with a remarkable vaccination plan against covid-19, investment in social policies and support of economic activity and sources of work, resisting the proposals that in Hastily and opportunistically they arose from the opposition of mandatory quarantine and universal basic income, which would have led the country down paths towards failure as shown by the experience of nations that traveled similar paths.
At the international level, they emphasized the war that Russia is carrying out in Ukraine. It was noted that it brought “consequences in terms of rising energy and food prices.”
It was highlighted that the Government “has been able to manage this situation within a framework of stability in the value of the national currency, of the international reserves of the Central Bank, of inflation control, without resorting to more taxes, with increases in rates for below the CPI and fuels, below the increase in oil».
Herrerismo and the story of the others
It was stated that there is the “conviction of traveling with freedom and responsibility along the path that leads to improving the lives of Uruguayans.”
“Reality has flatly denied, time and time again, each one of the stories with which the opposition of the Broad Front and the PIT-CNT has tried to question the government’s policies and put spokes in the wheel of the management. As an inventory, it is enough to remember the predictions of catastrophes such as: ‘the coalition is going to break’, ‘there are no vaccines, no vaccination plan’, ‘the CTIs are going to be saturated’, ‘preventable deaths’, ‘negative consequences of the LUC’, ‘scarcity and hunger’».
