 americas.org - Presidential Elections in Uruguay on October 31   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The front-runner in Uruguay’s upcoming elections is Tabaré Vázquez of the Encuentro Progresista–Frente Amplio (Progressive Encounter- Broad Front), a coalition of social democrats, communists, social Christians, radicals and ex-Tupamaro guerrilla fighters.
The Front was part of a broad movement to put the law to a referendum; although the referendum was defeated in April 1989, support for the Left increased.
The elections this year are thus Vázquez’s third attempt at the presidency and once again, the Broad Front will have to count on combined opposition from the Colorados and Blancos if the elections go to a second round.

Their coherent, aggressive, ideologically driven, ultra-militaristic, unusually racist and undemocratic zealot faction of the ruling class calls for a broad united front and electoral coalition to preserve what is left of democratic rights and to place any constraints we can on U.S. military, corporate, and racist ruling circles, in the U.S. and the Third World.

 Balliol College, Broad Street, Oxford
We recorded last year the demolition of a portion of the old buildings, and the commencement of the new ones in Broad Street, but the latter were not sufficiently advanced to enable us to speak of them in detail.
A much finer front, a higher and more elaborate tower, and such fine Oriel windows justify the anticipation raised by an inspection of the plans, while the increased accommodation given by the narrowing of the Master's house has afforded about a dozen additional suites of rooms.
The very curious bosses in the roof of the old tower gate-way, and the sculptured arms of the Balliol family, on the original Broad-street front, had to be removed, but these interesting memorials have been preserved.

Should the Broad Front succeed in selecting its candidate, retired General Liber Seregni, 54, that will mark the first time in 136 years that Uruguay's President will have been chosen from neither the Colorados nor the Blancos, whose platforms as conservative Establishment parties are virtually indistinguishable from each other.

But while the Broad Front's platform calls for agrarian reforms, nationalization of private banks and foreign trade, and the bolstering of state industry, it covers a much broader political spectrum than the Chilean alliance.

 RRIII, Pt. 5: The Seventh Comintern Congress and The United Front Against Fascism
Dimitroff said: "The attitude toward the united front marks the dividing line between the reactionary section of Social Democracy and the sections that are becoming revolutionary." The touchstone of a revolutionary, then, is no longer the attitude toward the dictatorship of the proletariat, but the willingness to unite with Communists around a bourgeois democratic program.
The United Front 7th Congress line is reflected in Mao's alliance with the national bourgeoisie and conception of the new democratic state as a joint dictatorship of the working class, peasants, intelligentsia and national bourgeoisie, led by the working class.
The Vietnamese communists have abandoned the dictatorship of the proletariat for the sake of the broad united front for a neutralist, coalition government with the national bourgeoisie.

 Logistics and the Broad-Front
It is hardly surprising that combat commanders, in their exasperation over the denial to them of the means to continue the pursuit or to launch one bold thrust into Germany, should, on the American front, have immediately vented their annoyance on the Communications Zone, the organization responsible for their support.
