Broad Front Governance Discussion Programme

Delegates at the conference today will work in committees to analyze and approve the program, along lines covering various areas of national affairs.

The Football Association comes to the Forum after dialogues with social sectors, business and citizens which have fed into the programmatic documents under discussion today.

The previous day, thousands of Frente Amplistas filled the facilities of the Peñarol Palace in this capital to honor former President Tabare Vazquez, who witnessed the opening of the congress, which ends tomorrow.

Former Vice President Rodolfo Nin Novoa, who ran as Vázquez’s running mate in the 1999 and 2004 elections, recalled Uruguay’s first leftist president and the transformations implemented by the Frente Amplista governments.

Niem stressed that the administration of President Louis Lacalle Pau “suffers from a great inferiority complex towards the governments of the broad front,” which he “blames for his failures, mistakes, ineffectiveness and blunders.”

For his part, FA President Fernando Pereira urged Congress to build a program that allows “governance with the people and for the people.”

Mayors Yamando Orci, Carolina Cos and Andres Lima, as well as Senator Mario Bergara, are participating in the conclave and are the presidential candidates who should become official on Sunday on the closing day.

In June, the FA will hold internal elections to elect its standard bearer in the presidential elections in June 2024.
