“Despite the fact that we have always tried to be a nonpartisan social movement, there are issues that are crucial for the movement, but unfortunately the years go by and we do not see any progress in that direction,” explained leader Guillermo Franchi.
He added that in this context, “people are beginning to rethink what to do, whether to continue claiming along these lines or trying to form a political force.”
Franchi clarified that if it were indeed to become a political party, A Solo Uruguay will not identify itself “neither with the left nor with the right, but neither with the center.”
“We are deeply nationalist but not from the National Party” but “nationalists of the nation”, he indicated.
“Our vision has nothing to do with ideologies, utopias, dogmatism or anything,” but rather “focuses on Uruguay’s structural problems,” the spokesperson added.
A Solo Uruguay was born at the beginning of 2018 in order to demand a set of measures from the government, then in charge of the president Tabare Vazquezof the Broad Front (centre-left).
The group gained notoriety when in February of that year some of its leaders argued at the headquarters of the Ministry of Livestock with Vázquez, whom they called a “liar” and challenged him: “See you at the polls.”
Franchi affirmed that in the organization they are also disenchanted with the current government of the president Luis Lacalle Pouof the National Party (white, conservative), after having had “hope” that “it would be more sensitive to the proposals of the producers.”
