Second presidency of Tabaré Vázquez
The Second presidency of Tabaré Vázquez began on March 1, 2015, following his victory in the 2014 Uruguayan general election. Vázquez, a member of the Frente Amplio party, previously served as the President of Uruguay from 2005 to 2010.
During his second term in office, Vázquez focused on continuing the progressive policies of his first presidency, with an emphasis on social welfare programs, healthcare reform, and economic development. One of his key initiatives was the implementation of the National Integrated Health System, aimed at providing universal healthcare coverage to all Uruguayan citizens.
Vázquez also prioritized environmental issues, promoting sustainable development and renewable energy projects. His administration worked towards reducing carbon emissions and increasing the use of clean energy sources in Uruguay.
In the realm of foreign policy, Vázquez maintained Uruguay's tradition of neutrality and diplomacy, seeking to strengthen ties with neighboring countries in South America and fostering partnerships with international organizations such as the United Nations.
The Second presidency of Tabaré Vázquez came to an end on March 1, 2020, when he was succeeded by Luis Lacalle Pou following the 2019 Uruguayan general election.
