Daniel Radío

Daniel Radío is a Uruguayan politician and a member of the Partido Independiente. He previously served as the Secretary General of the National Drug Secretary under former President Luis Lacalle Pou. Recently, he made headlines by announcing that he would not assume the role of director of the Institute of Regulation and Control of Cannabis (Ircca), despite being designated by the current government led by Yamandú Orsi. Radío expressed that he believes the Ircca requires a managerial figure rather than a political appointee, emphasizing his stance on the need for legal market solutions to reduce drug consumption, a perspective that has sparked internal debates within the political coalition.
