SÃO PAULO, Brazil – As the new members of the Uruguayan Congress began their work in February after the October of 2024’s elections, a bill aiming at decriminalising euthanasia has been quickly introduced and will apparently end up being approved, maybe even this year.
The Bill is being mainly promoted by Federico Preve, a lawmaker and a member of the left-wing Frente Amplio, the same party of the President Yamandú Orsi. The proposition is also backed by the Colorado Party and legislators of other political parties, including right-wingers. Its promoters believe that they will have enough votes to pass it during the present legislature.
