Montevideo, (Prensa Latina) Lawmakers from Uruguay's Broad Front (Frente Amplio-FA) confirmed on Friday that there are more homeless people living on the street in Montevideo, and in their opinion 'it is not only due to the pandemic, but it also has an economic cause'.
Lawmakers Ana Olivera and Cecilia Cairo stated their view to the press after listening to a speech delivered by Minister of Social Development Pablo Bartol before the Population Commission at the request of the opposition party.
Both lawmakers expressed astonishment about 2,530 Uruguayans who are currently living on the streets in Montevideo, a figure reported in the July 2020 census, 25 percent more than in late 2019.
Bartol was summoned to explain the Ministry's Plan to help those who are living in this extreme situation.
