Campaing and election

edit
Main article: 2024 Uruguayan general election

Orsi's candidacy for the Broad Front presidential primary for president of Uruguay in the 2024 election election was made official on December 8, 2023, during the party congress.[3] In late February 2024, he resigned as Intendant of Canelones.[4] He won his party's primary with 59% of the vote, and announced Carolina Cosse as his running mate for the general election.[5] He was opposed to the two constitutional referendums put to the electorate on changes to the social security system and on allowing nighttime police raids.[6]

In the first round of the general election, the Orsi-Cosse ticket obtained 43.86% of the vote, securing a majority in the Senate.[7] On November 17, Orsi participated in a presidential debate with the candidate of the National Party and Republican Coalition, Álvaro Delgado Ceretta.[8] In the runoff of the election, Orsi won the presidency with 52.08%.[9]

Transition period

edit

After the results were announced, outgoing President Luis Lacalle Pou congratulated Orsi on his victory and announced that he was available to begin the transition period.[10] The day after the runoff, Orsi visited former President José Mujica and his wife, former Vice President Lucía Topolansky, at their private residence on the outskirts of Montevideo.[11] After Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro congratulated Orsi, members of the Herrerism, a sector of the National Party, publicly asked him "not to invite dictators" to his inauguration.[12]

On Wednesday, November 27, Orsi was received by outgoing President Lacalle Pou at the Executive Tower, which officially marked the beginning of the transition.[13] The transition team chose the Hampton by Hilton hotel in Carrasco as the transition venue, where the president-elect held meetings with diplomats and politicians.[14][15]

On November 28, Orsi traveled with Gabriel Oddone, Alejandro Sánchez and his foreign policy advisor to Brasília to meet with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.[16] At the meeting, talks were initiated to accelerate the bidding processes for the Yaguarón bridge in Cerro Largo and the dredging of the São Gonçalo Channel that connects the Lagoom Mirim ―shared by Brazil and Uruguay― with the Lagoa dos Patos, located in Brazilian territory.[17] That day, the transition between the outgoing vice president Beatriz Argimón and the elected Carolina Cosse began.[18]

On December 6, the Mercosur summit began in Montevideo, in which Orsi participated alongside outgoing President Lacalle Pou as his "guest".[19] The final text of the EU–Mercosur Association Agreement was approved in the presence of the President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen, after almost 25 years of negotiations.[20] Within the framework of this summit, Orsi held bilateral meetings with regional leaders who came to Montevideo, such as Colombian President Gustavo Petro, Bolivian President​ Luis Arceand Paraguayan President Santiago Peña.[21]

Beginning in the second week of December, some cabinet members were announced.[22] However, the formal announcement took place on the December 16, at the Raddison Victoria Plaza Hotel.[23]
