☆ Opinion | What Worries Me About Uruguay’s Elections This Year
  + stars: | 2024-11-23 | by ( Guillermo Garat | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
In a year of landmark elections, my country’s presidential vote last month flew under the radar. And perhaps with good reason: Uruguay’s balloting was marked by unexciting candidates and their lackluster attempts to entice undecided voters to the polls. An uneventful vote seems preferable to the deep polarization that has surrounded presidential elections over the past year in countries like El Salvador, Argentina, Venezuela and even the United States. And young Uruguayans are afflicted by many problems. As it did in other countries, the Covid-19 pandemic left Uruguay in the grip of a mental-health crisis that hit this group hard.

☆ In Montevideo, Our Drinking Water Is Salty and Foul - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( Guillermo Garat | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — For at least 80 days, ever since drought and mismanagement sapped the drinking water supply of my country’s capital, the water that has come out of our taps has tasted terribly of salt and smelled awfully of chemicals. We cook pasta, wash lettuce and make coffee with it, buying more and more plastic water containers that wind up in the dump. Washing machines don’t foam, and the electric water heaters are failing from a buildup of sodium. At the height of the crisis, sodium and chloride levels rose to double and triple, respectively, the maximum values allowed by our own national drinking water regulations. And in 2004, we became the first country in the world to write access to safe drinking water into the Constitution.
