At the request of Senator Luis Alberto Lacalle, the economy minister, Fernando Lorenzo, will be summoned to the room to provide details of the economic and financial situation of the country at the beginning of the new administration.
The scheme is called the General Committee. The motion in the Senate voted unanimously. According to nationalist Sen. Gustavo Penadés, it is "absolutely safe call without any political consequence”, "to know in detail the financial position" and then start working on the five-year budget. According to the senator, ot is not seeked any confrontation with the government. "We want to get firsthand information," said Penadés.
The Frente Amplio senator Hector Tajam said he was not surprised by the call. However, stressed that it was pointed out earlier, as usually done. "I find it legitimate that since the opposition has an interest to know the starting point in tax terms and I think it will elaborate on financial terms. We are starting work plans, I think there are going to see that the country has vulnerabilities to continue with their plans and may be some restriction on investment in restructuring. There we will know what are the steps to take, "he said.
