A quick scan of Wikipedia shows there's an actual left wing party currently in power that was formerly led by a guerilla fighter during the military occupation of the country in the 80s
As well they legalized abortions in 2012 and weed and same sex marriage in 2013
It's got a 3 branch government similar to America
Economy seems stable, Internet seems good.
Guess it's time to start learning Portuguese or Spanish!
The left wing party is not led by a former guerrila fighter but said one Jose Mujica was president yes here the president is important yes but not the all powerful figure. That was in the 70s (the guerrilla thing) and they all admitted that doing a revolution was not the best answer to the political trumoil. Also the militia coup was backed by Nixon so there is that.
And it's Spanish the official language.
I did say formerly. The first president of the current party was a guerilla fighter.
Do you mean the military leadership of the 80s was backed by Nixon or the group that overthrew them?
The guerrilla in fact failed to overthrow them when Reagan came and pulled out the cord all dictatorship regimes started falling like dominoes. This one especially felt that they could get the peaceful way out and they did a referendum they lost by a wide margin and they stepped down. Now the guerrilla group formed a coalition with other left leaning groups and they made the Frente Amplio (translates to "wide front") and that's why I made the distiction of being the president and led as they are a coalition the direction they take is usually decided by the "plenario" which is an internal gathering where they debate vote and decide, so they have an internal president but they act more of an organizer rather than the decision makers. It's not a perfect system but well it works in it's own way. IMO FA is more like the French Socialist party and the Japanese LDP rather than the US democrats. The good news for fediverse ppl is that they are very pro queer and progressive. Also they are very pro democracy in fact the dictatorship regime here is considered a far right one.
Good to know! Also, couple questions I'd you don't mind -
How's the Internet down there? What's the overall opinion/ government policy on trans people? Lastly, how's the tech job market (if you know)?
