For this reason, Lacalle Pou put the issue on the table, despite the fact that the meeting in Suárez and Reyes was aimed at addressing the education reform. With a map that gave an account of the advance of the left, the head of state assured that progressivism, “the red stain”, as he called it, “will not reach Uruguay”.
According to the leaders present, the president “transmitted calm with what happened in Brazil”, and took the opportunity to highlight his confidence in the direction of the ruling coalition thanks to a management with several positive points, among them, the Law of Urgent Consideration. He also highlighted the budget law and its accountability, which achieved the lowest fiscal deficit since the beginning of his administration.
The image of the government
Another argument by Lacalle Pou to bring calm to the coalition was “the good levels of popularity and support that the government has, which is the product of the fact that things are being carried out well.”
The president’s statement referred to the survey released by Consulting Teams on October 19, which concluded that 49% of Uruguayans approve of the management of the current administration —while 32% disapprove—, which implied a growth of two percentage points with respect to the last measurement in the month of August.
However, according to the most recent survey by the consultancy Figure, released on November 1, the president faces a 16% setback in terms of his positive image, compared to the beginning of his administration. Disapproval reached 42%, the highest since he came to government on March 1, 2020.
