Of President of the republic…

In 1972, it is elected president whereas the country knows one economic and social crisis period marked by violences opposing various factions of Guérilla S (of extreme left with the Tupamaros and of extreme right-hand side with the Escuadrones of the muerte (Death squads in Spanish).
Its administration continues the policies of its predecessor by giving a greater budgetary priority to the Militaire S than with the education and with other social sectors and he also proposes the modification of the legislation to eliminate autonomy from the Université S and to increase the capacity of the Armée and the police force. In April 1972, after a truce observed by the Tupamaros group for the good progress of the elections, with the sight of the militarist reforms, the group engages in an open armed struggle against the capacity. This one declares then the “state of war internal”, all the civil liberties are suspended, initially during thirty days but prolonged later by the General meeting until in 1973. Towards the end of the year, the army decisively demolishes the Tupamaros group, whose surviving members are imprisoned or run away themselves out of the borders of the pays.
In February 1973, a very important internal conflict emerges between the president, the General meeting, and the armed forces, the first wanting to name a civilian with the head of the Ministry for national defense. Bordaberry must thus find an agreement (the pact of Boisso Lanza) with the soldiers who ask for a political participation. A Safety advice main road ( Consejo de Seguridad Nacional ) is also created with at his head the commanders of the Army, the marine , and the Air force, plus an elder military officer, and the ministers for the national defense, the interior, and foreign affairs.
