  • La Construcción Del Partido De La Gente: ¿Un Intento Fallido Que Quedará Por El Camino?
    La construcción del Partido de la Gente: ¿Un intento fallido que quedará por el camino? Monografía de grado Licenciatura en Ciencia Política Juan José MORATORIO DATI Tutor: Dr. Felipe MONESTIER 2020 1. Introducción Hoy es un día histórico; hoy ha nacido un nuevo partido; nació de la gente y para la gente; ¡nació el Partido de la Gente! Edgardo NOVICK El Partido de la Gente (PG) se creó el 7 de noviembre del 2016. Su líder y fundador, Edgardo Novick, es un empresario exitoso que en 2015 se había postulado como candidato a intendente de Montevideo por el Partido de la Concertación (PCO), alianza creada por el Partido Nacional (PN) y el Partido Colorado (PC). Las repercusiones generadas por la creación del PG fueron inmediatas. El politólogo Adolfo Garcé se preguntaba: «¿Hasta dónde llegará el “Trump» uruguayo”?» (Garcé, 2016). Para Juan Carlos Doyenart, director de una empresa de opinión pública, era claro que el PG tenía «potencial», entre otras razones, por la existencia de «un sentimiento de descreimiento del electorado en los partidos tradicionales». Para Eduardo Bottinelli, director de la consultora FACTUM, la figura de Novick venía «a llenar un vacío que efectivamente existía» (García, 2016). Además, el nuevo partido parecía despertar entusiasmo y su creación era considerada un hecho positivo por el 65 % del electorado (Montevideo Portal, 2016). La creación del PG representó un hecho novedoso y llamativo en un sistema de partidos altamente institucionalizado1, entre otras razones porque nació con niveles relativamente altos de aprobación. Faltando menos de un año para las siguientes elecciones nacionales, la intención de voto medida por diferentes empresas de opinión pública2 colocaba al PG disputando el tercer lugar con el PC.

    CONTINUITY OR CHANGE? PARLIAMENTARY AND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN URU- GUAY IN 2009 Gisela Elsner On November 29, 2009, José ”Pepe” Mujica of the centre-left coalition Frente Amplio (FA, meaning ”Broad Front”) was elected president of Uruguay in the second round of elections. He will take office on March 1, 2010. The 74-year- old Mujica, former Tupamaro of the Movimiento de Liberación Nacional (MLN), who spent nearly the entire period of Uruguayan military dictatorship (1973 to 1984) behind bars in sometimes inhumane conditions, will take over from Tabaré Vázquez, leader since 2005 of the first FA government in the history of the small country on the Río de la Plata. Of modest demeanour but enjoying international respect, the oncologist Vázquez, who didn’t allow his office of State President to stop him from practicing, ended his tenure with approval rates soaring at more than 70 percent. The shoes to be filled by his successor Mujica are large ones. Mujica and his vice-President, former minister of the economy Danilo Astori, are both keenly aware of the respon- sibility that they bear for the successful continuation of the project of their coalition, whose broad political spectrum ranges from communists and for- mer guerrilleros like the newly elected president to social and Christian de- mocrats. Vázquez himself was barred from standing again for election by the Uruguayan constitution, which does not permit the direct re-election of in- cumbent presidents. Pre-election efforts to change the constitution to allow this had been ruled out categorically by Vázquez himself, in a move which served to distance him from the growing tendency of incumbents in the re- gion to use constitutional changes to stay in power.
