Uruguay's Ruling Coalition Faces Backlash as Budget Cuts Disillusion Supporters

Montevideo, Uruguay – Political disillusionment is growing among long-time supporters of the ruling coalition in Uruguay, as recent budget cuts impact social programs. One video, uploaded on May 30th, 2025, by a social media user known as "nano máquina," captures this sentiment. The video uses a powerful analogy: "It's like being the betrayed spouse," says the speaker, explaining the anger and betrayal felt by those who supported the party. The speaker further explains that "when you no longer have resources to fight for, when you no longer receive social plans, then you'll be angry." This reflects a growing concern among many supporters who are now questioning their continued allegiance. The video's popularity, with over 1600 views in a short time, suggests a wider resonance with this sentiment. While the video contains some strong language, its core message about the emotional impact of political change on loyal supporters makes it valuable for a news article.
