	Uruguay's new president gets moving - (United Press International) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The "crisis" to which the president referred is Uruguay's double-digit unemployment rate and growing poverty, two conditions which set the stage for the leftist leader's election in October.
		The leftist Lula, who moved closer to the center once he entered office, has done all this while implementing such wide-reaching social programs as his national hunger eradication project and meeting and exceeding expectations from international lenders from the IMF, who were worried that Lula would default on billions of dollars in loans.
		Now with Uruguay firmly in the leftists' camp, it could spell more trouble for U.S. aspirations for creating a hemispheric free-trade zone, a proposal already hampered by dissension among leftist leaders in Latin America who say it favors U.S. trade interests without providing enough access to American markets for Latin American goods.
