Esteban Valenti, responsible for the campaign for the Yes to the repeal of 135 articles of the Law of Urgent Consideration, He acknowledged that he was “misinformed” and was wrong about the study that represents the American company Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM)after stating in a tweet that It was a study of former Colorado senator Pedro Bordaberry. MGM instructed the Yes campaign to stop using the image of the Pink Panther, on the understanding that this violates the company’s intellectual property.
“Now, it’s nothing serious to represent MGM, they are not criminals, nor do I think any studio would mind representing them“, indicated the publicist, and clarified that in any case “the fund is still there, they ban us or prevent us from something new every day”.
I was misinformed and I was wrong about which studio represented Metro. Now, it’s nothing serious to represent MGM, they’re not criminals, and I don’t think any studio would mind representing them. And the background is still there, they prohibit or prevent us from something new every day. pic.twitter.com/zEvbbr11rZ

Now the transnational lion has woken up”, he wrote in another tweet.
