“It was a different campaign, but we lived it with great intensity. We toured not only the departmental capitals, but also the small towns in the deep interior, where there was a lot of expectation and need to be heard,” he stated.
Etcheverry highlighted the approach of his sector led by Yamandú Orsi. “It was a campaign with the frontality, humility and honesty that characterizes Yamandú, always focusing on proposals based on people’s problems. I think that today we can say that we began to build a better country,” he said. Likewise, he valued the opportunity to learn up close about the plight of citizens in small towns, which made it possible to focus the proposals directly.
Criticism of disqualifications in the campaign
Asked about the ruling party’s strategy, Etcheverry regretted the tone used by some leaders: “There was a tone of permanent grievance. Both Delgado and Ripoll focused on looking back and disqualifying, with few proposals. It’s sad, because tomorrow we’re all going to be working together,” he said. However, he highlighted the good relationship with nationalist leaders at the territorial level.
Regarding the use of disqualifications, the senator-elect called for more mature political reflection: “I think it is not just about taking measures. There has to be a will and conviction that they do not contribute or build, especially when people are having a bad time,” he said.
Commitment to your new responsibility
When referring to her role as senator, Etcheverry expressed gratitude towards her sector, the MPP, and the support received during the campaign. “I am going to fulfill that responsibility with the greatest possible effort to do things well. I am about working and lending my shoulder to this country,” he concluded in dialogue with Diario La R.
