STATEMENTS BY ANDRÉS OJEDA, THE PRECANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCE OF URUGUAY BY THE CENTER-RIGHT COLORADO PARTY: I believe that today the country demands a different commercial aggressiveness from our representatives. I can imagine today a Chancellor who gets on the plane and does not return until he has an open market, like any manager of a company: "Sir, you bring me results and until you do not bring them to me you do not return". And I think that this has to be measured by the results, I think it would be important to be able to highlight a spirit of activity abroad that allows us, not only to have markets that allow us to place our products abroad within the framework of a free trade agreement with zero tariff would be ideal and the other thing is to bring investments. If Uruguay does not have a growth agenda with these two variables, it will die stagnating at an average annual growth rate of 1%. And we will share out the disease.
