Uruguayans often speak with pride of that spirit that on this side of the Río de la Plata we would call “provincial”. That calm and relaxed atmosphere that exists in your country and which seems unalterable. Even if the President of the Nation appears in the middle of the street without custody and dressed in sports clothes, like a neighbor.
This is what happened to Maldonado. In the middle of summer, President Luis Lacalle Pou appeared on a commercial street in Punta del Este and sat down to talk to a friend.
The testimony was recorded in a video that quickly circulated on social networks and garnered praise for the relaxed style of Lacalle Pou, who has previously declared himself a lover of Esteña’s beaches and regularly visits the spa town when his occupations allow it .
In front of a business establishment, the president spoke for a few minutes, without any guards in sight, and during that time some of those passing by who recognized him approached him to ask for a photo, to which the president graciously agreed.
