Asked about his next steps in politics, the president stated: “I am going to be close to the people, I am going to be involved in political activity. Where people believe. “I am a senator-elect, I should be there.”
When asked by a journalist about whether he would consider being president again in the future, Lacalle Pou described the question as “nonsense” and responded: “I’m finishing, I want to finish. This is not a game. “I am grateful for the life of being president of my country.”
Hug and transition
The president also announced that he will invite the president-elect to the Executive Tower this Monday, marking the beginning of the transition. «Today I should take a backseat. Obviously it’s difficult for me, but tomorrow the president-elect should be one step ahead, with flashes and microphones,” he said.
Likewise, he mentioned that he spoke with Álvaro Delgado on Saturday and made a brief reference to the hug between him and the candidate of the ruling coalition.
