[webaurores 0]

i live in Uruguay, a small country in South America, with a population of 3 million people, which had never had a socialist president until last october when Dr. Tabar? V?zquez was democraticaly chosen President.this country is divided in 19 "departaments" (like "states"), and yesterday, sunday, we had our departament elections.Frente Amplio (the left coalition) -socialists, comunists, "tupamaros", etc.- won 7 or 8 departaments (a lot of votes are still being counted), and that means that the most populated regions were won by Frente Amplio. here you can view some data of those departaments:------ Montevideo (the capital city) - 57% for Frente Amplio of 1.044.380 voters------ Canelones - 57.2% for Frente Amplio of 333.347 voters------ Rocha - 47.6% for Frente Amplio of 56.669 voters------ Treinta y Tres - 41.5% for Frente Amplio of 37.336 voters------ Florida - 38.7% for Frente Amplio of 55493 voters------ Paysand? - 44.2% for Frente Amplio of 86048 voters------ Salto - 37.7% for Frente Amplio of 90970 votersthere's a quest in Maldonado, famous for the seaside resort "Punta del Este".28.93% of votes were counted, and theirs result put in second place to Frente Amplio (with 43.7%), but polls said left will win, so it's not clear.if polls would say the truth, left, the (actual) government party would have 73,24% of the population would have a socialist "intendente" (like a "state governor").that's a great improvement for left party, because it would be the first time Frente Amplio won a "departamente" outside Montevideo, which has been governed by the left-coalition for 15 years.--------------------just to make it clearer, i support the left, and have been doing that since i was born, because my parents were members of this party before they met. well, the results may change, so tomorrow i might update this information with the final official data.i'll go bed now, it's 6 am here
