Luis Lacalle

Luis Lacalle is a Uruguayan politician and lawyer who served as the President of Uruguay from March 2020 until March 2025. He is a member of the National Party and came to power after a coalition of center-right parties defeated the left-wing Broad Front in the 2019 general elections. Lacalle's presidency focused on economic reforms, security issues, and addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. His administration was marked by efforts to promote free-market policies and reduce state intervention in the economy. Following his term, Lacalle's leadership faced scrutiny regarding the political landscape of Uruguay, especially with the recent return of the left to power.
