The World Affairs Council of Northern California and the Commonwealth Club of California are pleased to welcome his Excellency Dr. Tabaré Ramón Vázquez Rosas, President of Uruguay, to the Bay area.

Join President Vázquez for a discussion on the issues facing his nation and the world.

In your post about Tabaré Vazquez you say, "Vázquez is the first Uruguayan president elected from the left since the country's first presidential election in 1984."
I'd like to clarify that 1984 was the first presidential election held after over a decade of military dictatorship. I believe the first (though probably not quite clean) presidential elections in Uruguay were held sometime between 1890 and 1903.
