Children of Ignacio Errandonea worked with Defense Ministers from the Broad Front

Ignacio Errandonea, spokesperson for the families of "disappeared" detainees, had two of his children earning large salaries in the Ministry of Defense under the governments of the Broad Front.

While thousands of young Uruguayans were unemployed or struggling to make ends meet, Errandonea's children enjoyed mega salaries in the warmth of the Broad Front governments.

This was even pointed out on June 19, 2024, on Radio Universal by then Minister of Defense, Javier Garcia.

The Well-Connected

This refers to Ismael Errandonea, who worked from 2011 to 2020 in direct assistance roles to the Ministers of Defense Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro, Jorge Menéndez, and José Bayardi. All from the Broad Front. He had entered through a commission transfer from the State Insurance Bank.

The other child, Mikaela Errandonea, was a direct collaborator and appointee of Fernández Huidobro from 2011 to 2013. Also a Broad Front Minister of Defense.

False Defenders of Human Rights

While the families of the "disappeared" claim to be apolitical and uninterested in party politics, Ignacio Errandonea placed two of his children in the Ministry of Defense by appointment with fabulous salaries and all the benefits of the officials.

No competitions or lotteries. The children of this "human rights fighter" were appointed, well-connected, and with mega salaries.

He had “for many years” two direct appointees of several Broad Front Ministers of Defense.

"I find it striking that he complains to the National Party and the Coalition about what he, as a member of the governing political force at the time, and with direct family members, was the right-hand man of several Broad Front ministers," Javier García pointed out in June 2024.

It is striking that the families of the disappeared say they are not interested in party politics when their main figure, Ignacio Errandonea, placed his two children with lucrative salaries in the Ministry of Defense under the Broad Front governments.

It would be more honest to say that the families of the disappeared engage in party politics and respond to the interests of the political and social far left.

Additionally, like all families of the disappeared, Ignacio Errandonea receives the "special reparatory pension," under a law passed during the leftist governments. A lucrative deal.
