Independence day
26.Ago.2011
President Mujica spoke to Uruguayans regarding the anniversary of Uruguayan Independence Day.
Through the Presidency portal Mujica sent a message regarding the anniversary of the declaration of Independence in which he expressed that this day is felt by people as a day of “memories, wishes and desires”.
Mujica added that “looking forward means being close to those who live in our territory and those who one day had to leave seeking a better life” so Uruguay has to “think that the present and the future are constructed by those from inside, those who are returning and those who are still abroad”.
