Abstract

RILLA, José. Uruguay, una política limitada: derecha y ultraderecha en una democracia de partidos. Av. Cesor [online]. 2023, vol.20, n.28, pp.6-6. ISSN 1514-3899.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.35305/ac.v20i28.1634.

A review of the contemporary extreme right-wing variants and their links with the authoritarian tradition of the 20th century gives us a confusing map, somewhat blurred and with superimposed figures. The social sciences and history have serious problems in interpreting a phenomenon in full swing and for which the past is less useful than we usually admit. Uruguay, the longest-standing and most stable democracy of parties on the continent, is experiencing this process in its own way, which when viewed in more detail and without abandoning the comparative perspective, cannot be so easily described or interpreted. Approaching the Uruguayan process offers an analytical opportunity that can be summed up in a simple proposition and that it is not possible to generalize more than in a vague way, as usually happens with political history: radical right-wing movements advance and above all consolidate in proportion to the weakness of the party system on which they are based. Uruguayans have a limited politics, which is more comfortable for the deployment of extreme trajectories.

Keywords : Uruguay; political history; political parties; right and far right; Cabildo Abierto.
