Cabildo proposed a formula for transfers that contradicts Manini, but they assure negotiations are ongoing

Cabildo Abierto has put forward a proposal regarding financial transfers that seems to diverge from the conditions set by its leader, Guido Manini Ríos. Manini had previously stated that for Cabildo Abierto to approve the government's budget, transfers for vulnerable sectors must not be disbursed in cash.

However, two Cabildo legislators, Alvaro Perrone and Silvana Pérez Bonavita, introduced an addendum that explicitly permits payments through financial institutions or electronic money instruments. This proposal has gained the support of the Frente Amplio bloc, although details are still being finalized. The text, seen by El País, states that the "Unique Assignment for Childhood and Adolescence" will be paid via account credit in financial institutions or electronic money instruments, in accordance with Law No. 19.210.

This wording contrasts with the Executive's original proposal, which only mentioned cash payments. The inclusion of the disjunctive conjunction "or" opens the door for payments via financial institutions and electronic money, a possibility Manini had previously dismissed as a condition for his party's support. Sources within the Cabildo bloc indicated that the wording is subject to change, with the intention of adding a specific reference to future regulations.

Frente Amplio legislator Joaquín Garlo confirmed that a comma will be added to the proposal, stating: "In the terms or conditions established by the regulations." Regarding cash payments, Garlo explained that the regulations would define the specifics of how card payments would be implemented. The party sources also mentioned the possibility of an IVA discount, similar to what is currently available through the Tarjeta Uruguay Social (TUS).
