"leave the infection behind": Zubía compared the referendum to covid-19 and asked to vote for No

“It’s easy to understand,” said the legislator in a video posted on his Twitter account.

“When it’s negative, it’s positive and you jump for joy because you’re not infected,” He said. With the LUC, he maintained, exactly the same thing happens. “The negative vote, the No, will make us jump for joy when it wins, and we will leave the infection behind,” he said.

Hence, in a particular call, he has urged to vote for No in the next citizen consultation. “Leave the infection behind”, asked.

Zubía was also encouraged to rehearse some verses to respond to the lyricist Raúl “Tintabrava” Castro, who in recent days had released a letter in which he spoke of a “purge of murga” and that “the right wing takes over the tablados”, in the framework of the discussion about the withdrawal of certain sponsorships from Carnival and the effects that the maximum Uruguayan popular festival can generate on the next referendum.

“The purging of murgas is not necessary, they already know what purging is,” Zubía clarified. “They have colleagues who went to Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, Korea or similar.” Zubía continued with his verses. “That’s where his cult poets were inspired, creating librettos in an ideal world, only those tanks were forgotten, which Mujica asked to let go,” he added.
