The president referred to the mutual association’s future during an event in Carmelo. He said the proposal submitted by members and workers was reviewed, but that there is not yet a solid project.
Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou spoke this Wednesday about the situation at Casa de Galicia during a press conference in Carmelo, where he went to take part in the start of work at the city’s airport, according to 970 Universal.
According to that outlet, the president said that the proposal presented to him in February by members and workers of the mutual association was evaluated, although he maintained that so far there is no solid project that would justify moving forward in that direction.
Lacalle Pou also questioned the institution’s management. As reported by 970 Universal, he said that Casa de Galicia was allowed to collapse and that resources that had been granted were wasted.
In that context, he defended the actions of the Executive Branch and the Ministry of Public Health. He said the government could have chosen not to intervene, but opted for a proactive stance to assist the mutual association’s members and workers.
