URUGUAY: Opposition guns for government over Guantánamo
The political opposition launched a new line of attack on the ruling left-wing Frente Amplio (FA) coalition this week ahead of general elections in just over three weeks from now. It criticised the unilateral decision by President José Mujica to offer to receive six detainees from the US prison camp in Guántanamo, Cuba and sought clarification from the FA candidate, former president Tabaré Vázquez (2005-2010), of his stance on the matter. The attack is designed to exploit friction within the FA over Mujica’s Guántanamo proposal as well as exposing, once again, the FA administration’s poor record on transparency and accountability.
