POLITICS & DIPLOMACY: No tacking away from bold foreign policy course
The ruling left-wing Frente Amplio (FA) coalition is seriously divided over a radical change in foreign policy under the new administration led by President Tabaré Vázquez. While every other country in the region is sheltering behind the principle of non-interference
to justify not speaking out about democratically dubious developments in Venezuela, Uruguay, through its new foreign minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa, has become the lone voice prepared to argue that this principle is not sacrosanct or a viable excuse for inaction when issues of human rights are at stake. Not all of the FA agrees with Nin Novoa, but his rhetoric is reaping rewards when it comes to dealings with the US.
