President Jose Mujica said on Tuesday that "there must be no worse instability than political”. The president made this account in the context of taxation in the position of Minister of Economy and Finance, Fernando Lorenzo, and other members of the economic team. Mujica said in his speech that when former President Tabaré Vázquez took office he found a government and at the end he left "the country with a plus".
The new economy minister said he was very "proud" to participate in the second government of the Frente Amplio, and also to "go home", alluding to its passage in the Macroeconomic Advisory portfolio, a position he held at the beginning of the Vazquez management. Lorenzo vows to pursue the same lines drawn by Astori and Alvaro Garcia. Secretary of State referred to the president's remarks on Monday in the act of taking office, especially the "challenge" posed to education and scientific research. For Lawrence, these are "good important mandates and the economy should be at your service.
