Orsi Referred to the Attempted Femicide at the Faculty of Medicine and Called for Not Blaming Institutions
The Uruguayan president said it was a case of gender-based violence and urged people to look at the broader context of what happened. He also said that, for Secondary Education, the episodes linked to the aggressor at the Salinas high school amount to an isolated incident.
Uruguay’s president, Yamandú Orsi, spoke about the attempted femicide at the Faculty of Medicine and said what happened cannot be justified because it is gender-based violence, according to Medios Públicos Uruguay.
During the inauguration of the Del Andaluz civic association, the president said this type of violence is not an isolated incident. At the same time, he distinguished that situation from the episodes associated with the student who carried out the attack at the Salinas high school, which Secondary Education does consider an isolated case.
“I am a teacher and I spoke with the teachers,” Orsi said, according to that outlet, and stressed that the episode he was referring to took place at the Faculty of Medicine.
He also said it is necessary to examine the prior history behind what happened and called for not holding institutions responsible for this case.
