URUGUAY-US: Left attacks Vázquez for U-turn on investment treaty
President Tabaré Vázquez has come in for strong criticism from the left wing of the ruling Encuentro Progresista-Frente Amplio (EP-FA) for what they perceive as a volte-face on the investment treaty signed with the US by his predecessor, Jorge Batlle.
