Uruguayan President-Elect
Promises A Government
"For Everybody"
MONTEVIDEO - Uruguayan
president-elect Jose Mujica has announced
that he will govern "for everybody" and for
"a better society," local press reported on
Sunday.
Mujica urged his future cabinet not "to
charge account" but "to fulfill the historic
responsibility of governing fine."
The government "is not a toll of hate, but a
deep expression of solidarity and organized
commitment," the president-elect said during
late Saturday's celebration of the 39th
anniversary of the Ample Front Coalition.
"For a political force, which has spent so
many years seeking the social change, an
anniversary like this is also the moment to
think which our cause is, which our colors
are and which our flags are," Mujica said,
adding that he has been part of the
"suffering and proletarian" left-wing.
The president-elect also told Saturday's
gathering that the "defeated" were not
"those who stop fighting" because the defeat
"is a moral and psychological state of
accepting the circumstances with passivity."
Mujica, a former guerilla fighter imprisoned
during the military dictatorship from 1973
to 1985, is scheduled to take office on
March 1.
Incumbent Uruguayan President Tabare Vazquez
will leave his office with a historic
popular support of 80 percent.
