RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Uruguayan left showed its muscle by collecting in time, despite the obstacles of the pandemic, the necessary signatures for the holding of a referendum in the country against what they consider “regressive” star law of the Government of Luis Lacalle Pou (center-right).
Although they did not stop collecting the remaining ballots until the last minute, just before parking the truck that transported them this Thursday to the headquarters of the Electoral Court in Montevideo, this was a day of celebration.
With the delivery of nearly 800,000 signatures, the organization “Yo Firmo” – comprising political and social collectives-, took its first step to try to repeal 135 of the 476 articles of the Law of Urgent Consideration (LUC), approved on July 9, 2020.
