She acknowledged that "without love, this can not be done" and reiterated their commitment to work with absolute devotion. She asked for compromise, respecting the fact that the first commitment is to people.
At all times, the content of the speech made reference to José Artigas and Oriental revolution and urged the opposition to guide the interests of the political confrontation in Parliament. In this regard, the proposal raised left to realize a bicameral committee to schedule the commemoration of the Oriental Revolution of 1811 to make real Artigas phrase "the most unhappy are the most privileged." "We must begin to rebuild the collective memory," said Passada. "Is the Artiguista legacy far away?" Asked Passada, through her speech. She immediately held fast "the opposite is truer than ever," reiterating her commitment to work towards the dispossessed.

"We need educators committed to national causes. Education is not the only topic of educators and that can not be absent from the debate, "he said. She spoke of the university and the need for the interior is the protagonist." We have to have doctors in the interior."
