URUGUAY: Vázquez moves into cruise control
Former president Tabaré Vázquez (2005-2010) launched his campaign ahead of the second round of presidential elections on 30 November safe in the knowledge that, to cite the national opinion pollster Equipos Mori, “only absolutely extraordinary events” can deny him victory. While Vázquez eased back into campaigning two weeks after the first round on 26 October, with a presentation of his plans in the cultural arena, his opponent in the run-off, Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou, of the centre-right opposition Partido Nacional (PN; Blancos), has overhauled his campaign strategy and begun scampering around the country trying to make something of the contest.
