	Boston.com / News / World / Latin America/Caribbean / Uruguay inaugurates leader as Latin America leans left
		Vazquez, 65, was sworn in for a five-year term as thousands of flag-waving supporters crowded outside a packed ceremony at the Congress building in the Uruguayan capital.
		Vazquez, a former Montevideo mayor, has vowed to help end economic misery in what was once one of Latin America's most prosperous countries.
		Vazquez takes over from Batlle, a centrist who pursued closer ties with the United States at a time when leftists were taking power in Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela and distancing themselves from Washington on a range of economic, trade, and foreign policy issues.

		Vazquez, elected Oct. 31 to replace Jorge Batlle, is part of a reinvigorated — but far less ideological — leftist movement in Latin America whose leaders have come to power amid economic turmoil.
		Vazquez climbed into an antique car to leave the ceremony, then jumped onto the back of a pickup truck, blowing kisses to a crowd of thousands who turned out for a street fiesta.
		During the campaign, Vazquez pledged to help the poor, and his message resonated with voters increasingly skeptical of free-market policies being touted by Washington as the remedy for the region's economic ills.

		Following Vazquez's inauguration, Washington expressed support for his administration despite having enjoying solid relations with his predecessor President Jorge Batlle, a conservative who almost always sided with the White House when it came to talk of trade in the region.

		Unlike his predecessors, Tabaré Vázquez seems to be following through with his campaign pledge to tackle the critical challenges posed by the country’s unreconciled legacy of violence and repression instituted under the 1972 — 1985 military dictatorship.
		Vázquez is wisely taking advantage of popular support that won him the presidency by quickly turning to target the long-standing issue of bringing justice to the “dirty war” era military rogues.
		Most of the reaction to Vazquez’s victory has focused on its unprecedented nature, as his victory broke the near absolute grip on power that the country’s two conservative political parties, the Blancos and the Colorados, historically have enjoyed.
