Enrique Lazarte wants to run for mayor in Tafí Viejo, Argentina, from where he surprises with the launch of a controversial commercial. In the material, the aspirant walks along a path (road without asphalt, made of mud) on the sides of which some houses have been built.

Lazarte, who has in mind the realization of the Baños Dignos plan, approaches one of the simple houses and says, looking into the camera, “You must have a place to go. But more than a thousand families in Tafí have no water or bathroom.”

Thus begins the video that lasts 51 seconds and has been branded “eschatological”. He continues: “The mayor and his wife must also have a place to go and that must be very nice”.

According to Lazarte, “more than 1,000 families from Tafice don’t have that option.”

who is this candidate

Lazarte, says Clarín on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, is a candidate for mayor of Tafí Viejo, in the province of Tucumán, for the Frente de Todos and a leader close to Governor Juan Manzur.

In La Nación, they dive into his professional career and confirm that he is a public accountant and graduated in social economics.

This candidate criticizes the current mayor, who he says has not spent “the last 8 years” on solving the problem faced by those thousand families of Tafí Viejo.

If he wins, Enrique Lazarte confirms that one of his proposals is to launch “Baños Dignos”. “Because we all have the right to relieve ourselves in a decent bathroom.”

Think, of course, of offering a thousand toilets “in record time”. According to Clarín, “Lazarte’s proposal goes hand in hand with a national government plan that President Alberto Fernández himself announced last February. It concerns the Federal Sanitary Plan My Bathroom”.

Reaction on social networks

“From Argentina, specifically from Tafi Viejo in Tucumán, this eschatological #WTFelectoral comes to us,” tweeted Carmen Beatriz Fernández, a political marketing strategy and new media specialist.

Santizalez, an Argentine journalist, commented: “A bit scatological, but that it is an extremely urgent issue cannot be denied. A world toilet day has been established by the UN”.
