After the tight electoral victory in this Sunday’s referendum and warning that the coalition has no margin for error, the senator of Cabildo Abierto Guido Manini Ríos pointed out this Wednesday against the National Party by pointing out that “many times” it makes proposals and then “it is closed” instead of taking the contributions made by their political force.
“We are seen, we are heard, but many times proceeds by the solutions envisaged by a party and Contributions made are not considered.“, said to In perspective about his party’s role in the coalition.
the legislator clarified that his criticism was directed at the National Party: “Many times the National Party makes the proposal and closes on that proposal. Undoubtedly, it has a much greater relative weight than we can have in the government.”
As an example, he cited the bill discussed in Parliament to exempt strip roast from VAT for one month, an instance in which the lobbyists claimed – unsuccessfully – to extend the benefit for longer and to other products, understanding that it was a measure “insufficient”. In any case, they supported the initiative expressing their objections.
“Here nobody is talking about forcing, but simply about sitting down at a table and looking for a negotiation –said-. There are actors who have been favored by the state for a long time and this is a time to give back,” she added.
In an effort to strengthen the functioning of the multicolor coalition, Manini Ríos asked that the proposals of his party be given, who on different occasions, he believes, are left behind. This is how he put it: “Our paths are sometimes not contemplated and we believe that the march of the coalition must be enriched by incorporating visions which are sometimes different“.
One of the lessons learned from the result of last Sunday’s referendum was precisely that the alliance must remain united and open to the different proposals. “The coalition needs all its parts. Neither party is left over in the coalition. It was shown that it is necessary to work together and not be relegated to any one, “he said.
“It is useless to sit at a table if one party is not willing to give up a hundredth. (…) We believe that there are proposals that have to be received, listened to and taken to the field,” Manini summarized.
The lobbyist leader referred to the parity of the referendum and cleared up your affirmation captured by El País about the result making “everyone nervous”. “Me I think he gave us a reality check. The poll that really counts is the one that was on Sunday,” she said.
And he added: “There are still two blocks here, very similar to the ones in November 2019. That difference is practically nil. I think that anyone should agree with what I say in that dialogue. When I talk about mistakes, the mistake is perhaps not achieving the goal, not fulfilling what was promised, not being able to reactivate the labor market, that there is not a climate of security that is perceptible by all people or that the education reform that we are all demanding is not carried out”.
