URUGUAY: Heads roll over Marset scandal
Several hundred protesters gathered in Montevideo on 13 November to demonstrate against corruption in government and denounce a serious political crisis and ongoing damage to Uruguay’s state institutions. The protest was organised by the country’s main trade union organisation Plenario Intersindical de Trabajadores-Convención Nacional de Trabajadores (PIT-CNT), supported by the left-wing opposition coalition Frente Amplio (FA), in response to a scandal involving the Uruguayan drug trafficker Sebastián Marset, which compelled President Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou to reshuffle his cabinet.
