We both agreed that there would be a debate and the medium and format needed to be coordinated,” assured the leftist leader.
Pereira will also discuss his ideas with the mayor of Rocha, Alejo Umpiérrez, coordinator of the “No” campaign.
Negatives of Argimón and Delgado
The Frente Amplio president also said that this type of exchange of ideas has not materialized with the vice president, Beatriz Argimón, and with the secretary of the Presidency, Álvaro Delgado, because the media have told him “that they have been invited and that both have responded negative”.
“I would have liked to, but I understand that not debating is part of life. Now, later it is not worth complaining when others do not debate. Because look, I heard for years the complaint that there is no debate, but then they act contrary to what they said for a long time, “he added.
