The Minister of Housing and Territorial Planning (MVOT), Irene Moreirawas summoned by the president, Luis Lacalle Pou, and the secretary of the Presidency, Álvaro Delgado, to explain why did he grantdirectly, a social interest home to a open council memberdespite hundreds of others qualifying the same way.
The chief and wife of Guido Manini Ríos entered carrying a thick file of about 80 people and told the press that she has “nothing to hide. Come, look into the eyes, say”. She remarked that there was a supposed evaluation of a technical team of the MVOT that would have defined that the Cabildo Abierto militant met the necessary conditions.
Moreira said and contradicted himself
He expressed that he receives “requests permanently.” And then he specified: “I start the process and then I have nothing to do with it. The evaluation is of the technicians”.
However, she later contradicted herself by assuring that, as a minister, she has “a reserve quota of mine that many times I have not even used.” but that in this case it was different, because the militant person did not register in the contest in which more than 200 people participated.
“There is a reserve quota of mine for specific cases (…) We have cases of the Justice that asks us (…), that we have to grant them. There is always one that is reserved and, if there is nothing, it is delivered, ”he specified.
Therefore, he was asked if, then, this was a reservation that was held and granted, to which he replied: “Did he meet the conditions? I complied”. Immediately afterwards, she unidirectionally cut the press conference by stopping answering questions.
