Despite the lull in Congress, its Standing Commission issued a statement expressing “its rejection of acts committed in the capital of Brazil which endanger the institutional order of the sister nation”.
The statement conveyed the demand for respect for the constitution and the law in the neighboring country.
The declaration is signed by Graciela Bianchi, Senator of the National Party; Conrado Rodríguez, representative of Colorado; Álvaro Perrone from Cabildo Abierto; and Senator Sebastián Sabini of the Broad Front, all representing the Legislative Standing Committee.
“We express our solidarity with the Brazilian people and their legitimately elected government,” the letter reads, which also confirms “trust” in “democratic institutions.”
Meanwhile, Broad Front President Fernando Pereira announced that Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva would meet with a representative of this Uruguayan opposition group.
It will be when he officially visits the country on January 25, following an invitation from President Luis Lacalle Pou.
The Uruguayan head of state revealed his position on the coup against his Brazilian counterpart last Sunday.
“We regret and condemn the actions taken in Brazil that threaten democracy and institutions,” he wrote on his Twitter account at the time.
