“…The governing coalitions of the FA enacted redistributive polices, such as tax reforms that targeted different segments of the economic elite, regulating the functioning of the media, or promoting the expansion of unions and their power resources (Lanzaro 2011). Subsequently, the initial agenda of the multiparty center-right governing coalition inaugurated in 2020 was advanced both in an omnibus bill modifying several policies in the areas of security, labor, education, and fiscal rules and in a budget law that aimed to reduce the government's fiscal deficit through a cut in public spending (Rossel and Monestier 2021). These different policy agendas generated costs that jeopardized the core interests of different groups and triggered their efforts to use veto points to oppose the policies.…”

“…Esta ley, además de urgente, tuvo el carácter de ley ómnibus (Massicotte 2013), proponiendo políticas de las más diversas áreas en casi 500 artículos (seguridad, educación, economía, vivienda, inclusión financiera entre otros). 6 Más allá de los argumentos esgrimidos por el gobierno sobre la urgencia de actuar en estas áreas, las leyes de urgente consideración en líneas generales son utilizadas para minimizar los costos de transacción de los gobiernos (Rossel y Monestier 2021). Esto se torna particularmente relevante si observamos la conformación del gobierno y del sistema de partidos a partir de las elecciones de 2019.…”

“… 25. The lack of coordination between the tourism unions, on the one hand, and the PIT-CNT and FA, on the other, stands in contrast not only to the harmonious ties that organized workers and the political left have had in Uruguay but also to the resistance advanced during the center-right administration of Lacalle Pou. During the most critical months of the pandemic, the PIT-CNT and the FA gathered close to 800,000 signatures to launch a mechanism of direct democracy aimed at repealing or partially annulling the government’s most important regulation: an omnibus bill known as the Urgent Consideration Act-LUC) 19.889, of July 14, 2020 (see Rossel and Monestier, 2021). In the referendum, held on March 27, 2022, the government ultimately won by a very slim margin (50 percent vs. 48.7 percent). …”
