Perspectives for Uruguay


Lucha Libertaria 24 July 1957.

ZF 30573

The Federacion Anarquista Uruguaya (FAU) in July 1957 reports that never before in the history of the world have prospects for the people been so gloomy. In Latin America especially there is a tendency towards military regimes. "Let us remember Argentina, and Cuba, or Paraguay: let us remember." In 1957 the FAU and its newspaper Lucha Libertaria is only one year old, and Uruguay is a democracy with a two-party system. In 1973 the FAU's fears become fact as the military takes power and dissolves parliament.
