POLITICS: Vázquez makes overtures to opposition
President-elect Tabaré Vázquez has made a significant gesture to the political opposition before taking office on 1 March. Vázquez, who faces internal opposition within the ruling left-wing Frente Amplio (FA) coalition, has offered Uruguay’s official opposition parties positions on the boards of state companies and other entities. He has also promised to inform the opposition in advance of any important initiatives his government might send to congress, a mark of respect which was well-received.
