Uruguay has begun implementing policies aimed at fulfilling Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, which proposes achieving "inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities." Within this framework, the national government is promoting an ambitious National Urban Mobility Plan, focused on transforming metropolitan public transportation.
The initiative of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP), under the direction of Lucía Etcheverry, centers on the implementation of a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system. This system aims to connect the city of Pando with Montevideo's Plaza Independencia through strategic corridors such as Avenida Italia, 8 de Octubre, Camino Maldonado, and the Tres Cruces area.
The project includes a route with stops every 600 meters (1,969 feet) and a bus frequency that aims to have buses passing every two minutes during peak hours. The vehicles would have the capacity to transport between 140 and 200 passengers and would be designed to operate in exclusive lanes located in the central medians of the avenues.

The proposal was presented to national and departmental government authorities by Ebital S.A., a national company facing a lawsuit for embezzlement and corporate fraud.
In Minister Etcheverry's words, the proposal aims to "conceive mobility as a right and as a tool for social and environmental justice."
This vision is framed within the international notion of "15-minute cities" that seeks to fight against climate change. In Uruguay, under the administration of globalist Lacalle Pou, the Ministry of Environment was created, which includes the Directorate of Climate Change, currently led by the privileged daughter of Blanca Rodríguez.
This is a progressive model of urban planning (disguised as sustainable and inclusive accessibility) that aspires to total control of the inhabitants.

This is a plan that involves a budget exceeding 500 million dollars for its implementation. The financing is expected to come from a combination of sources: the national budget allocated to MTOP, loans and international cooperation (such as the Inter-American Development Bank - IDB), as well as departmental contributions and public-private partnerships.

For some time, our country has been at the service of policies imposed by the new globalist left. However, during the current progressive government period, the surrender of national sovereignty will be blatant and the indebtedness ever greater.
On June 30, Yamandú Orsi will sign the international agreement that will commit Uruguay before the United Nations to fulfill each of the Sustainable Development Goals of the utopian global agenda more strongly than ever.
