The Member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) applaud the holding of the second round of elections in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay in which the Frente Amplio candidate, Yamandú Orsi, was elected as the new constitutional President of the Republic, this Sunday, November 24, 2024.

The ALBA-TCP member countries recognize the democratic spirit of the Uruguayan people for a victory that, in turn, expresses a significant defeat of neoliberal policies and anti-popular positions. Likewise, the countries of the Bolivarian Alliance congratulate President-elect Yamandú Orsi and his political platform, the Frente Amplio, and wish them every success in their upcoming administration to wisely lead Uruguay along the path of progress and social welfare.

The Bolivarian Alliance celebrates the sovereign victory of the Uruguayan people, convinced that President Orsi will know how to resume the unavoidable path of Latin American and Caribbean unity, to which the Frente Amplio governments contributed so much in their previous administrations. As stated by José Gervasio Artigas, the most famous Uruguayan hero:

“The cause of the peoples does not allow for the slightest delay.”
