Un día más de esos que nos llenan de satisfacción.
En las próximas horas enviaremos al Parlamento un proyecto de ley interpretativa de la Constitución para reconocer como nacionales uruguayos a los ciudadanos legales.
Buscamos terminar con una injusticia que afecta desde hace décadas a miles de compatriotas que eligieron nuestro país para vivir y construir su futuro.
La iniciativa está respaldada por destacados constitucionalistas y respeta la distinción entre ciudadanía natural y legal, pero evita que de ella se derive una diferencia entre nacionales y no nacionales que la Constitución no establece expresamente.
Se trata de reconocer derechos y de avanzar hacia un Uruguay más justo.
Primero la gente.

Did you ever wonder where our logo came from?

65 years ago, a commemorative stamp created for World Refugee Year showed an illustration of a refugee sheltered by two hands.

The emblem became our official logo.
