Uruguayans ignore isolation, protest against key government law

Description

Montevideo, May 14 (EFE) .- Hundreds of Uruguayans crowded the outside of the Legislative Palace on thursday to protest against the government despite isolations being recommended and many countries carrying out mandatory quarantine to curbe the coronavirus pandemic. Social organizations called to demonstrate against the Urgent Consideration Law (LUC), a package of more than 500 articles that include health, education, housing, security measures, and which was the government's flagship during the electoral campaign.The LUC is a mechanism in the Uruguayan Constitution that allows Executive Power to send a bill that it considers must be treated urgently and each chamber has 45 days to do so.
