Center-Left Candidate Yamandú Orsi Wins Uruguayan Presidency
------------------------------------------------------------

In Uruguay, center-left opposition candidate Yamandú Orsi won a runoff
presidential election Sunday, defeating Álvaro Delgado of the ruling
center-right Partido Nacional. Orsi is a former mayor and history
teacher with the Frente Amplio, or Broad Front party. He spoke from
Montevideo after his victory.

President-elect Yamandú Orsi: "I am going to be the president who builds
a more integrated society, a more integrated country, where, in
addition, despite the differences, no one can ever be left behind from
an economic, social and also political point of view."
