The Political Table of the Broad Front (FA) approved and distributed a document in which it lists the series of “failures” of the government of the Multicolor Coalition headed by the president Luis Lacalle Pou; with which he will go out to campaign for the general elections that will take place in October in Uruguay.
The government failed. This is how it is titled FA the document in which he is strongly critical of the current government management, and in which he pointed out that “the miraculous changes that were promised in the election campaign “They do not translate into concrete results that improve people’s living conditions.” Even when the last year of Lacalle Pou’s administration is about to begin to be completed.
“The country has been stagnation and recoil. The majority of Uruguayans live worse and it is the result of the country model that the conservative coalition led by the blacksmithing, a model that seeks to favor the interests of privileged minorities, the ‘golden mesh’ to which our president alludes with so much enthusiasm,” the text added.
In that sense, the opposition measured the government from the “Commitment to the country” assumed in 2019 by the Republican Coalition, and assured that “none of the thirteen axes that structure the coalition contract with the citizens it has a successful balance.”

The opposition also pointed out the increase in fuel and taxes like VAT and the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) —from the change in calculation—; zero progress in the opening new markets despite the “fantastic” announcements; and the growth of insecurity throughout the national territory while “complaints are discouraged.”
Criticism also goes towards the education, the social programs and the health, with a “brutal budget cut”, the elimination of support programs and the deterioration of the management of the “unconcealable” health system.
