Carolina Cosse multiplied the deficit of Montevideo City Hall

Cosse took office as mayor in September 2020 and her administration was disastrous. She multiplied the deficit and increased taxes.

The IMM collected $32,391 million (US$2 million daily), but expenditures far exceeded this amount due to an increase in personnel compensation ($16,022 million), operating expenses ($12,624 million), and investments ($5,401 million).

The accumulated deficit has grown steadily, reaching a total of $22,000 million by the end of 2024 (equivalent to US$500 million).

This accumulated amount represents outstanding debts and compromises financial sustainability, although the IMM considers it "manageable" compared to national deficits.

Currently, under the mayorship of Mario Bergara (Frente Amplio), alleged austerity measures have been implemented to contain wasteful spending.

The Court of Accounts approved a line of credit for US$61 million with Banco República (BROU) as backing to cover temporary imbalances (e.g., salaries when expenditures exceed income), not for public works.

IMM sources indicate that outstanding invoices could raise the real deficit above the US$90 million closed in 2024.

Comuna Mujer, giant waste

Comuna Mujer consists of a network of legal offices that the city government has set up for many years throughout the entire department.

It is a monument to the discrimination against men, all the men who also pay taxes to the city government, but are ignored.

In Comuna Mujer, only female lawyers and administrative staff work, all women, because the city government doesn't allow male employees to work there.

Comuna Mujer serves to encourage and promote false reports of so-called "gender violence," under the protection of Law 19.580.

This way, any woman can approach a Comuna Mujer office to file a false report of "gender violence" and pays absolutely nothing.

From that office, the female lawyers are responsible for carrying out the false report in court, and of course the complainant doesn't pay a single peso in professional fees or stamps.

This way, Carolina Cosse during her administration as mayor promoted radical feminism and false reports against innocent men, discriminating against half the population of the department.

The Tv Ciudad grassroots committee

Another waste that was intensified under Cosse's administration since 2020 was the television channel Tv Ciudad.

As for the channel, the then-mayor made sure to inject more taxpayer money so that from the television signal broadcast 24 hours a day, there is permanent propaganda in favor of the political, union, and social left,

Tv Ciudad discriminates against and disregards any other social expression that doesn't sympathize with the left.

The channel has a very low rating, but in any case the Frente Amplio city government prioritizes it as a means of political propaganda financed with the taxes of all taxpayers.

With everyone's money, Cosse from the city government wasted taxpayers' money on a propaganda channel in favor of the left.

Ultimately, Cosse's administration at the head of the city government was dreadful

She multiplied the deficit, increased political positions, raised the salaries of useless employees, and squandered millions of pesos on feminism and partisan political propaganda. A disaster.
