“If you want, after the conference I will show you the number of ASSE prescriptions stamped on the back that say ‘medication does not exist,'” Pereira said at the press conference on Thursday the 3rd.
In relation to the questions received by Cosse, Pereira stated: “How can you call our colleague ‘a liar’ when there is so much proof of the lack of medicines?” Likewise, he mentioned that during the “FA listens to you” and “Dialogue for Uruguay” tours, as well as in the presentation of the party’s programmatic bases, he visited more than 300 locations, and noted deficiencies in the health system, such as the lack of medications and long waiting times for patients with psychiatric and chronic illnesses.
According to its president, the Frente Amplio seeks to focus on employment, development, public education and health in the last month of the campaign ahead of the general elections on October 27.
According to what was advanced by Pereira, these will be the axes that will be promoted in the “hand in hand” dialogues with citizens. In that sense, he stressed that the Frente Amplio does not want public health to be “synonymous with the lack of medicines” and highlighted the importance of what he called “the revolution of simple things.”
