Popular and Solidarity Coordinator requests a meeting with Mides for data on popular pots

As reported by Mides and based on a report sent by the aforementioned organization, of the 139 pots with which CPS works, 14 of them do not exist. Minister Daniel Lema said that “from now on, interested pots and picnic areas can request support for supplies directly at the Uruguay Adelante Collection Center.”
The Mides indicated through a statement that the Popular and Solidarity Coordinator (CPS) that there are 162 pots that serve Montevideo, but, “through the crossing of databases and through the survey of distribution of supplies, it is verified that 20 of these initiatives they are attended directly by Uruguay Adelante in its collection center and another 3 initiatives are repeated within the list”.
Therefore, there would be 139 pots or picnic areas that were being served by the CPS.
The President of the Montevideo Department of the National Party, Laura Raffo, pointed out that “this information is very serious. First CPS said that he was hungry and that food from Mides was not enough. Later he did not want to give data for “political reasons” and now it has been detected that he attends fewer pots than he said and declares 14 that do not exist ».
On his Twitter account he added that “political motives can never be above the needs of the people. Mides’ decision to give the food to the pots without the intermediation of CPS is correct and responsible. The most vulnerable are cared for and everyone’s money is managed seriously.
For her part, Mayor Carolian Cosse said that Mides’ decision is “unfortunate and ill-advised measure that I hope will be reviewed as soon as possible.” “You have to support, not question those who hold the pots. The controls are the responsibility of the institutions that provide support, not of the people who work voluntarily” said Cosse.
The Popular and Solidarity Coordinator (CPS) requested a meeting with the Mides authorities to “clarify” the situation and pointed out that they do not know the reason for the 14 non-existent pots.
Pedro Rodríguez, a spokesman for the CPS, pointed out that “our people are devastated regarding what has happened in recent days.” “Now we have an updated spreadsheet that we are about to send to the Ministry of Development in which there is really updated data. We hope that the ministry understands that this error about the 14 pots can be corrected »he said in statements to Telenoche 4.
