La Derecha Diario Yamandú Orsi: a puppet at Lula's service
The Uruguayan president follows the international guidelines of his Brazilian counterpart, Lula da Silva
The Broad Front of Orsi and the Workers' Party (PT) of Brazilian Lula are like first cousins.
Both were founded by frustrated former unionists, by pseudo-intellectuals who admired the Cuban communist dictatorship, and by public officials who lived off the state without working.
In the case of the Broad Front, it was founded in 1971, and the Brazilian PT in 1980.
When Tabaré Vázquez assumed his first presidency in 2005, one of the first to greet and congratulate him was Lula, who at that time, as now, was the president of Brazil.
Broad Front - PT Links
The relationships between Broad Front leaders and those of the Brazilian PT are well known.
These leaders share their devotiontothedictatorships of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, for growing the state by stifling individual rights, and for multiplying taxes that punish the middle class and the productive sector.
On the night of Friday, February 28, hours before being sworn in as president of the Republic, Yamandú Orsi participated in a barbecue at the residence of the Brazilian ambassador in Montevideo with the leaders of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Chile, Gabriel Boric, and Colombia, Gustavo Petro.
In that conversation, it is possible that Orsi assured the Brazilian president of a subordination in foreign policy.
He is already taking his first steps as president following the directives of Brasília and distancing himself from the national interest of Uruguayans.
At the Service of Brazil
He is behaving like a mere follower of the Brazilian foreign ministry, and not like the legitimate president of Uruguay who defends the interest of Uruguayans.
This could harm Uruguay in its relationship with Argentina's JavierMilei. The Argentine president believes in freedom and less state, while Orsi and Lula believe in outdated socialism and a suffocating state.
The relationship between Broad Front leaders and those of the PT seems to go beyond simple ideological affinity.
Perhaps there is some kind of darkfinancing that we are unaware of.
It is not uncommon for far-left Latin American political parties to help each other economically.
Beyond that, the concerning issue is that Orsi's government seems to actundertheordersofBrasília and follow Lula's directives, turning its back on Uruguay's interest in international matters.
Orsi should be in favor of Uruguayans and freedom, and not of a foreign country that doesn't believe in individual freedom.
