A group of eight deputies moved away from the nationalist caucus this Wednesday and aligned themselves with a new “political expression” headed by legislator Álvaro Viviano.
the new bench “it will not prevent coexistence and party unity from developing within the framework of collaboration, harmony, trust and loyalty”, the legislators indicated in a statement on Thursday afternoon. These terms are “essential for parliamentary support of his government management,” they added.
It is made up of the nationalists Mario Colman (for Colonia), María Fajardo (Soriano), Joanna Fort (Thirty-Three), Eduardo Lorenzo (Río Negro), Nancy Núñez (Paysandú), Javier Radiccioni (Canelones), Pablo Viana and Viviano (Montevideo ).
Thus they will be represented before the Presidency of the House of Representatives and in all areas in which opinions and definitions of a legislative nature are required, they point out in the letter.
The formation of the new bench occurred after a break in the bench when the legislators were in interparty coordination, as reported by The Observer. The until now coordinator of the National Party caucus, Rodrigo Goni, there announced to his colleagues that, this year, the position will correspond to Pedro jisdonian (Fresh air). The surprise came when he entered the same meeting Vivian, who claimed that role for himself and added that he would be the one who would have the responsibility of coordinating the actions of the white deputies.
The differences over who would occupy that position have dragged on since the beginning of the year. As Search had reported at the time, the minority claimed a rotation agreement, but the majority sectors argued that there was no definition.
