URUGUAY: New gov’t raises urgency on insecurity
Uruguay’s new interior minister, Carlos Negro, suggested on 25 March that the country’s security situation was worse than the new government led by President Yamandú Orsi had thought. These comments could represent an effort to manage expectations or to highlight the severity of the security problems inherited from the previous administration led by centre-right former president Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou (2020-2025). However, it is clear that concerns over crime featured heavily during the elections last year and could continue to weigh on the new government if effective security measures are not implemented.
