Uruguayan left has lost its main leader: the ex-terrorist José Mujica

The desperate attempts of the global left

Recently, Lula, Petro, Boric, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and even the failed Ecuadorian candidate, the Correa supporter Luisa González, visited Mujica's farm. Anticipating his death, they instructed on the steps that the unprotected Uruguayan offspring left by the ex-terrorist will now have to take.

It is likely that some short-sighted individual has bought into the idea that there is a strong alliance among Latin American leftists, but it is not so. They are scared and desperate. With the fall of the wall, they were destroyed for the first time. With woke wings, they resurfaced again, but they are seeing their inevitable destruction coming. Some are already gradually distancing themselves, just look at Luisa González raising a pro-life flag or read certain internal criticisms of the woke ideology.

The national and international left is capitalizing on the death of the ex-Tupamaro. Failed leftists from different regions send condolences, praises, and even return to Uruguayan soil.

The martyrdom surrounding the death of the MPP leader will last several days and it is not surprising: the global left tries to appear united and strengthened in the face of the evident decline it faces: a lost battle against the liberal, conservative, and patriotic tsunami sweeping worldwide, whose only banner is common sense.

Mujica lived the last political campaign but couldn't vote for Mario Bergara

This May 11, with the departmental and municipal elections, the last electoral contest that the ex-guerrilla could experience took place. However, his last vote was for the current president, Yamandú Orsi, in the second round held on November 24, 2024.

Last Sunday, in a press conference, the Secretary of the Presidency, Alejandro “Pacha” Sánchez, gave stammering explanations regarding the absence of the Tupamaro leader: «Pepe is fine, um, we all know he has a terminal illness and that, well, that terminal illness has a process and, well, um, we are, uh, waiting for that outcome». He also stated: «today he didn't go to vote because he wasn't feeling well, um, and well, it's part of life».

Mujica's absence in an election should raise attention. Anyone, appealing to logical deductive reasoning, can think of the two existing options: either he was really unwell and couldn't attend or he was already dead. There wasn't a single reporter who quickly asked a question about it. And well, it is public knowledge that lucidity is absent when an envelope passes under the door.

They didn't even take the penalty: the press at the service of the government

Let's recall the football analogy made by the "flamboyant" former Minister of Housing, Cecilia Cairo, after assuming her short and shameful mandate, last March 7:

The president said this is a team and I am with him. And this is the government team. Here are our ministers and with the ministers and the undersecretaries, we are going to play an eleven-a-side match. He will be the ten[Orsi]and poor Pacha will save all the penalties, but we love him. Because that's what he's done so far, they don't leave him alone.

If no one takes a shot, anyone is a good goalkeeper, gentlemen. “El Pacha,” with apparent skill, diverted the focus of the conversation —which was on the seriousness of Mujica not having gone to vote— by pointing out: «Pepe has said he wants to turn 90 and that will be on May 20, so we are on that».

Did the bad luck of Tuesday the 13th fall on the ex-terrorist?

Evidently, Mujica was left wanting to change decades. Two days after the elections, his death was officially announced.

The reality is that the suspicions that he died before the declared day are enormous. The last time he was seen was last March 27, after being invited, unusually, to the meeting for the 40 years of democracy.

[40 years of democracy and blackout]

Let's reflect on assumptions, simply as an exercise driven by radical skepticism, but also by the objectivity that they have the ground cleared to their convenience: they are the government. Let's suppose that the "bad luck of Tuesday the 13th" didn't come to seek him as punishment for having attacked the democratic order of our country. Let's suppose he died before. For example, last week or on the same election Sunday…

Sinister: did they hide Pepe Mujica's death?

Seeing the national and international circus being created, it is pertinent to affirm that if he had died before the elections, the public announcement could not have been made until after the "democratic party" of last May 11.

The celebrations for the Broad Front would have been overshadowed, but they would also have missed the great opportunity to capitalize on the "tragedy."

They already profited from his illness, now they do so with his death

On Saturday, April 6, 2024, an event was held in Parque Capurro where they celebrated the 35th anniversary of the MPP and launched the 609 campaign ahead of the internal elections of last June 30. On Monday, April 29, 2024, just three weeks later, Mujica made his illness public in a press conference.

Victimhood has always been the banner of the left and the terminal illness of the leader was the last ammunition the MPP had. They got the most out of his deteriorated appearance, thus reaching the government and the municipalities of Montevideo and Canelones.

Before his death, they were outlining strategies and it can be read that all the weight fell on the shoulders of the one who saves the penalties. Phrases like «now there are thousands of Pepes» or «I'm not leaving, I'm arriving» only show the terrible weakening faced by the political party founded by ex-terrorists.

The headlessness of the MPP and the entire Uruguayan left

Who is left?, an eighty-year-old lady? The one who can't string together a speech if you take him out of a national holiday? The one who came to dignify politics by giving speeches more boring than Claudia Sheinbaum's? The one who defends a present State while evading taxes? The one who films herself on social media to show her ex that she lost a few pounds?

Imagine the level: now the leader is “El Pacha” and the responsibility of keeping the MPP prevailing within the left-wing coalition that makes up the Broad Front fell on his shoulders.

The tensions with the Communist Party of Uruguay are extremely blatant and now they will seek to lead. However, there are no good leaders in any Uruguayan left-wing party.

In reality, is there any left-wing leader who stands out for their rhetoric or appearance? Because we know that for the ideas, they never will.
