Uruguay: Falling into a Kantian trap
Often cited (along with Chile) as a regional example of a successful and peaceful transition to democracy after overcoming its military dictatorship, Uruguay is revisiting old demons as it looks set to repeal part of its amnesty laws. The initiative has become the most important political issue in the country, dividing the ruling left-wing coalition, Frente Amplio (FA), and simultaneously sparking high-minded debate about constitutionality, the role of government and even the meaning of democracy itself.
