Mujica calls for youth participation in elections

Former Uruguayan president Mujica has expressed his concern about an electoral campaign that he considers "distracted" and has urged young people to actively participate in the democratic process. In his statements, Mujica emphasized the importance of youth participation in the future of the country, warning that "if young people do not get involved, we are in trouble."

As part of the elections taking place this Sunday in Uruguay, the main candidates have begun to cast their ballots. One of the prominent candidates is Yamandú Orsi, a candidate from the Broad Front, who is presented as a favorite to succeed in the position.

"It is essential that young people commit themselves and participate actively in the political life of the country. Their involvement is crucial for the development and consolidation of democracy," Mujica stressed.

Citizen participation, especially that of young people, has been a recurring theme in this electoral campaign in Uruguay. Candidates have called on the population to exercise their right to vote and contribute to the democratic process.
