URUGUAY: Mujica moves on "mother of all reforms"
Uruguay's President José Mujica took the plunge in July and embarked
on a major state reform. Mujica had promised to reform and modernise the State
during his election campaign. He has broad political support from both the
ruling left-wing Frente Amplio (FA) coalition and the right-wing opposition
Partido Nacional (Blancos) and Partido Colorado. Mujica has worked hard to
cultivate good ties with the opposition, which is happy to be involved in the
debate, although it would likely to drop its support and blame the government
should the reform prove unpopular.
