The recently constituted Central Committee of Uruguay’s Frente Amplio (Broad Front) coalition has finalized its executive leadership appointments during its inaugural session. The newly elected 18-member Executive Committee will operate under the guidance of Andrade, whose leadership was confirmed by the congressional body.
Key organizational roles have been allocated to prominent figures within the coalition. Guillermo Rehermann has been officially ratified as organizational coordinator, while Representative Ana Olivera has been designated to head the Political Unity division, signaling the coalition’s commitment to internal cohesion.
The international relations portfolio will be managed by Juan Castillo, who brings substantial experience from his previous tenure as General Secretary and Minister of Labor and Social Security. This appointment underscores the coalition’s focus on maintaining robust international connections.
In significant labor movement representation, Marcelo Abad, current president of the PIT-CNT trade union confederation, will assume leadership of the Secretariat of Union Affairs. Simultaneously, Viviana Rodriguez has been appointed to direct the Secretariat of Gender Affairs, highlighting the coalition’s dedication to gender equality initiatives.
The confirmation process also solidified Natalia Díaz’s position as head of the Union of Communist Youth (UJC), following her recent election as general secretary of the organization. This appointment reinforces the coalition’s connection with youth political movements and ensures generational continuity within the leadership structure.
