Uruguay
Chasquetti linked the slowdown in the decline of support for the Government to changes in official communication
The political scientist said the ruling coalition’s approval stopped falling and showed a slight improvement in some polls. According to his analysis, adjustments in political strategy and a stronger public defense of the administration played a role.
Political scientist Daniel Chasquetti said, in remarks collected by Caras y Caretas Uruguay, that the Government managed to halt the deterioration in its approval levels and later recorded a limited rebound in some polls.
According to him, that improvement is small and in some surveys even falls below the margin of error, although he considered it a change in trend after a period of very unfavorable measurements for the ruling coalition.
According to the media outlet, that movement came after a series of political and internal actions. Among them, he mentioned a document with a self-critical tone approved at a National Plenary for Congress, an event at Teatro El Galpón with leaders from different sectors of the party to show unity and relaunch the administration, and the progress of the debate on the Rendición de Cuentas after securing the votes of Cabildo Abierto.
Chasquetti also attributed the stabilization to a shift in the communication of government figures, including the Secretary of the Presidency, Alejandro Sánchez, and the Deputy Secretary, Jorge Díaz. According to him, both began to highlight the administration’s achievements, a practice he defined with the concept of credit claiming.
Still according to Caras y Caretas Uruguay, the analyst said that before, the one who had assumed that role almost alone was Fernando Pereira. He also assessed that President Yamandú Orsi adopted a more cautious attitude in his public appearances, although he noted that he still made mistakes. As an example, he cited his statements after the attempted femicide of a student at the Faculty of Medicine, when he described it as an exceptional case.
