I am writing to ask you not to loosen up. Complex moments are coming, the honeymoon is over and, after the pandemic, we Uruguayans are going to look at the economic situation.
If we don't do it, from the sidewalk in front they are going to shout for us to look at it. They are already doing it. They did it last Wednesday at Piedra Alta. It's logical. What are they going to talk about? They can't talk about insecurity. The numbers speak for themselves. After fifteen years of destruction of citizen security during their governments, today there is a change. Homicides, robberies and robberies are down. People see a committed police force and a government that supports it. Also that marks the court when someone goes out of legality. They can't talk about handling the pandemic either. If they did, it would suffice to remind them of how they handed over the Ministry. There was no testing capacity and they had donated the materials we needed to China. If they insist, it is enough to ask them to look to the other side of the river where their friends did what they wanted you to do here. Imagine what it would be like if they had vaccinated us with the Russian Sputnik and put us in total quarantine while the President got together at parties in his house. Luckily you got the good ones. I already have three doses, two from Sinovac and one from Pfizer. More than 70% of Uruguayans have had at least two and infections, deaths and those who enter the CTI are down. We have more vaccinated than the United States, Germany, Great Britain and Israel. Three times more than Argentina and thirty times more than Venezuela. Speaking of the economy, they are not going to do well, either. They had fifteen years of wind in their favor and what did they do? They increased the Foreign Debt, filled the State and the holes of Ancap, the Regasifier, Pluna, Aratirí, the Deep Water Port and so many other things with public officials. They are still going to go there. The effects of Covid are going to make themselves felt. It affected tourism, commerce and many sectors and they will try to take advantage of it. Luckily you did not listen to them and you refused the quarantines they requested. You kept the engines of the economy running. Dimly, but lit. If they had been turned off the recovery would take much longer. We would be like Argentina or Venezuela. By the middle of next year we will be resuming growth. It is going to coincide with the vote for the LUC, which they are going to deal with that is not about the LUC but about other things. As against the government, the adjustments, the International Monetary Fund, Climate Change, privatizations, the surrender of sovereignty, etc. That is to say, they will try to repeal the Law without talking about the Law. Do you think that everyone read it before signing? Of course, we must put a little order in the table. Let's start with those of the team with which I sympathize. We cannot change you three ministers in a year and a half. I know it's not your fault, but this has to stop. Nor do they propose laws that impose taxes, no matter how laudable the end to which they want to allocate what is collected. We are the government party and those things or the public fights between us do not help. There are yours too who have to understand that you have to be careful even in the details. You can't buy a couple of paintings for several thousand dollars, no matter how legal it is. It's not time. Nor can new officials be hired in the CTM or increase its budget by a couple of million dollars. Especially when its President was the candidate for mayor and surely will be again. You can see it from afar, it shows. The General is a good man, but he has too heterogeneous a group. His party is still in growing pains. The closest ones read a lot of Methol Ferré, and they feel close to the “Patria Grande” of the Kirchners, Mujica, the MPP and Chávez. There are others who are far from this but talk more about yesterday and the injustices they feel were committed than about the future. Some are not very clear where they are going. They are against the afforestation, the modifications to the media law and other herbs that bring them closer to those of Tucho. Even the People made a mess for you. The house on Loma de la Ballena and the candidate for deputy prosecuted in Paysandú. How they complicate the game for you. Pablo remains, who, the truth, is flying in the Ministry of Labor. It seems that he found the place to show his ability in the same way that Jorge Larrañaga had found him in the Interior. The team has to realize that the success of the Republican coalition government is their only chance of success on the day of morning. How are they going to convince their voters that they are going to govern without this coalition? They need it as much as you do. I hope they realize it. So don't loosen up, President, the first time has already passed. It was uphill and with a headwind. Pandemic, inheritance of 5% fiscal deficit, unemployment and inflation out of range. They kicked from all sides and there was none inside. Keeping zero is no small thing. Now comes the second half, don't loosen up, if the team accompanies the game, you win.
