Uruguay
Fernando Pereira called for lowering the tone in Parliament and sharing responsibilities
The Frente Amplio president called for a more sober political debate and said that questioning political responsibility is not the same as insulting. He also said his party must take responsibility if it bears part of the problem.
Fernando Pereira, president of the Frente Amplio, on Monday raised the need to improve the tone of political debate in Parliament, during an event at the Expo Prado, according to Subrayado.
Pereira said it is necessary to raise both parliamentary debate and exchanges in the media, and warned about the consequences of a climate of confrontation that, in his view, can fuel hate networks.
According to Subrayado, the leader said political debate should not be confused with personal insults. In that context, he said that pointing out that a president had political responsibility in a $90 million purchase does not seem to him to be a hurtful remark.
He also stressed that the level of name-calling heard in Parliament must change. He also said that if the Frente Amplio is responsible for part of that deterioration in the debate, it must take responsibility.
During the day, Pereira met with authorities from the Rural Association of Uruguay, Subrayado added.
