@Uruguayan Men, Birthday and Personal Life ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tabaré Vázquez is a famous Uruguayan politician who has served as the 39th President of the country and has been re-appointed recently Socialists Uruguayan Leaders Presidents Capricorn Celebrities Tabaré Vázquez is a member of the Uruguayan political party 'Frente Amplio', who served as the 39th President of Uruguay. This political leader began his career as an oncologist, and eventually went on to serve as the mayor of his hometown, a few years later. He participated in the presidential elections of Uruguay on two occasions, both of which were failed attempts. On the third try, as a representative of the 'Frente Amplio' political party, he won the elections with a majority of votes, to become the President of the country. As the President, he attempted to bring about new economic reforms, the most effective being the 'Plan de Atención Nacional a la Emergencia Social' ('PANES'), which sought to alleviate poverty in the country. The President also took measures to promote positive international relations between Uruguay and other countries. Amongst other reforms, the most controversial was the 'I.R.P.F', where he set one single tax rate for people of all income groups. The reason for it being controversial was that certain groups of people ended up paying more tax than the others, and this caused public dissent. Despite a career that has had its share of controversies, Vázquez is still popular, and has recently been re-elected for a second Presidential term

Tabaré Ramón Vázquez Rosas was born on January 17, 1940, in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. Unsplash Childhood & Early Life

In 1972, he graduated in Oncology, from the medical school affiliated to the 'Universidad de la República'. Four years later, the government of France offered him a scholarship to pursue further training from the 'Gustave Roussy Institute', Paris. Unsplash Childhood & Early Life

Tabaré’s political career kick-started when he served as Montevideo's Mayor from 1990-95, as a member of the 'Frente Amplio' socialist-leftist political party. During the same decade he contested in the presidential elections twice, but lost out on both occasions. Unsplash Career

Vázquez contested in the 2004 elections, winning with almost 51% votes, and was sworn in early the following year. With this historic win, he became the first Socialist-Leftist Uruguayan President who did not belong to any of the major political parties of the nation. Unsplash Career

A majority of the parliamentary members were from the new President's left-wing coalition party, the 'Frente Amplio'. He was also supported by the Head of State of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and thus did not face too many hurdles as the newly elected leader of Uruguay. Unsplash Career

Tabaré introduced certain new economic reforms in the country after assuming his office. One of the most important policies was the 'Impuesto a la Renta de las Personas Fisica', or the 'I.R.P.F. Reform' ('Income Tax on Natural Persons'). Unsplash Career

The reform replaced tax slabs with a uniform rate of personal income tax, and reduced value added tax. It was a controversial reform since it meant that certain groups of citizens would have to pay more taxes. Though it was also quite unlike Tabaré's Finance Minister Danilo Astori's careful economic policies, it met with huge success. Unsplash Career

As the President of Uruguay, Vázquez took mammoth steps to eradicate poverty by introducing food, educational, and health care reforms in the country. Under his presidency, the poverty in the nation dropped from 32% in 2004 to 20% within a period of five years. Unsplash Major Works
