The Minister of Housing and Territorial Planning, Irene Moreira, had already said in October 2020 that the 50,000 homes promised in the campaign would not be built, arguing that the number was “something to show what should be done.”
In this sense, at that time, interviewed in good morning uruguayof Channel 4had said: “I put it as something to show what should be done, yes I promise to make the greatest effort to obtain the largest number of homes, and for that we have worked since the first day we assumed the ministry, seeking to open the range both in all the programs that the ministry has and in alternative construction programs”.
His new statements, made in an interview with Montevideo Portalthe hierarch and wife of Senator Guido Manini Ríos, tried to refute that she herself had promised 50,000 homes: “I didn’t say that on campaign, because I was a candidate for deputy for the department of Artigas and, if I said that, they would say I was crazy. That’s proof nine that I couldn’t have promised that. I did not think that I would be a minister, but it is true that when I assumed the role, knowing that there was a housing deficit of between 60,000 and 70,000 homes, I said before the journalistic consultation that we would try to give the maximum and that it would be something around 50,000.
The journalistic inquiry was made in an interview with the newspaper El País, in which he stated: “There is a very great lack of housing. There is talk of between 50,000 and 70,000 homes. We want to reach that number. But I know he’s ambitious.”
In September of this year, the senator of the Broad Front, Sebastián Sabini, said that the government is “far” from the 50,000 homes announced. He criticized the announcement that the houses would be handed over before they were finished, which could cause “precariousness.” “This problem needs big national agreements, not big announcements. What you need are real and genuine resources to achieve the eradication of the settlements, which we are a long way from with the current budget,” said the legislator.
Feminist and admirer of Thatcher
When asked about what Cabildo Abierto really is, the head of the government of Luis Lacalle Pou denied that the party, led by her husband and made up mostly of ex-military leaders, denied that it was far-right.
“We are neither left nor right, we are Cabildo and we want to represent the values and principles of Artigas, our main hero. And we want to update those policies to the 21st century,” he replied.
And he added: “Besides, what is a military party? If your life was always in the military career, it is natural that after 48 years your friends are from that world. It would be very strange and would speak of his bad behavior if Guido did not have military friends. We have artiguist principles of non-intervention, of defending our fragile ones, not only the 200,000 in extreme precariousness, but all those who need a hand.”
One of its leading women in history is the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margareth Thatcher, who left the United Kingdom in a deep economic and political crisis, with rising inequality and the weakening of the stability of the British banking and economy. . “There were great women in history. I think Margaret Thatcher (is a reference) because of her firmness. She was very firm in her concepts and work. And Golda Meir (former Prime Minister of Israel), who had a personality that transcended her activity beyond borders. You can share her vision or not, but they have marked history, ”Moreira reflected.
Questioned about whether she feels feminist or not, she answered: “yes, but if it is to defend women; no to the division of man and woman. The woman is neither ahead nor behind, she is next to the man and they must advance together. And yes, there must be more women in the Executive and Legislative branches, but not out of obligation but out of complementarity”.
