The President stated his position remains consistent with his views during the previous administration – increased support for the minister is necessary when confronting criminal gangs. He emphasized a need to bolster efforts in addressing gang-related violence and maintain a firm stance against criminal organizations. This statement arrives amidst public outcry over the incident and scrutiny of the government's security policies. Opposition parties have criticized the Minister’s approach, calling for more effective crime prevention strategies. Orsi’s comments signal a commitment to continuing the current course of action regarding public safety. The tragedy has reignited debate about escalating violence and safety in Montevideo's public spaces.
