In a political event held in Paysandú, the presidential formula of National Partycomposed of Álvaro Delgado and Valeria Ripollstarred in a dynamic day marked by a comment that generated criticism on social networks due to its potentially sexist tone. During the speech, Delgado took the opportunity to talk about what he believes is Ripoll’s dedication to his work. “There is no settlement (in which) Valeria is not. Despite his young age,” Delgado told those present.

Ripoll, upon taking the microphone, mentioned his age with a jovial touch, celebrating with the audience his “42 young years”. This comment prompted a humorous response from Delgado, who, in a relaxed tone, He described her as “a sweetheart.”which caused laughter among the attendees.

“42 years, look what he is: a hottie!” Delgado shouted into the microphone. Aware of your comment, Delgado addressed his wife, Leticiawho was present, apologizing in a complicit manner. “Sorry Leticia, it’s a permitted compliment, right?” he continued while those present played “vuvuzelas”, applauded and whistled.

“Who has a room for me tonight?” Delgado also joked.

“In the intern I told him worse things”

“I think they will forgive me, because it is with affection, it is with love… I told him worse things in the prison. Do you want to know how I told him? Let it stay here between us… and I introduced her, because Valeria accompanied me throughout the internship (…) and I introduced her and called her ‘the icing on the cake,'” the right-wing candidate continued.

And he concluded: “And look what we got: the icing on the cake. Let’s see, I told him that still (don’t get upset… don’t get upset…) you have to add a little humor because politics, without commitment and without joy, is of no use, it’s not worth it. Others are the bitter ones, not us”, in clear allusion to the Frente Amplio. “We are proud of what we do and we are also happy with what we do,” Delgado concluded.

These comments unleashed dozens of negative comments and criticism from Internet users, who described his statements about Ripoll as “sexist” and “ordinary.”

“Oh, how horrible the objectification of women in politics. Bah, of all people, but what is done in some sectors with women is the worst, it is from another era. Luckily the new generations are no longer going in that horrendous caveman direction,” wrote X.com user @virdelos.
