J. Irazábal in and Professor Oscar A. nterview Bottinelli
who made a trip to Colombia in a committee to discuss the experiences of peace in his country, said Colombia is viewed generally by the Uruguayans as a distant country and difficult to understand. If you are asked to describe uruaguayos Colombia in one word, says the journalist, surely you have many choices they have to do with the same culture Colombian coffee, violence, guerrilla and many other factors. In conclusion, Colombia is a foreign country for Uruguayans. Is that true? Let's see. By Al Rodas includes an article by Cesar Augusto Salazar, our new correspondent from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Sihanoukville. Surely the teacher Bottinelli is right in concluding about Colombia and how the Andean region is seen as a region far away from what we call the Southern Cone. Of course, not new that people who live in a region of the world, know little about their neighbors. The new Zogby poll in the U.S. showed that adults in this country know very little about Latin America. However, if Zogby or other centers of research and statistics as the DANE in Colombia in Latin America do the same what they know about the Latin American neighbors, surely the results would be similar to the ignorance of American adults about the extent of land south of the Rio Grande. Insurance Uruguayans and Colombians know more about the U.S. and Europe about Uruguay and Colombia respectively, countries of the same region.

Naturally we know more about Ecuador, Venezuela, Panama, Brazil and Peru, countries that surround us and it is also natural that the Uruguayans know more about Argentina and Brazil, countries that surround them. At least we can say we found something in common: Brazil. This element is very important and more than you can imagine since Brazil is the Latin American context a kind of key balance of forces is very different from all the Hispanic countries, yet the same. Uruguay has a lot to do with Brazil and Argentina, as well as we have to do with Venezuela and Ecuador in history. Discuss Uruguay involves talking of a regional division hidden to those citizens Zogby and American also cited by many Europeans who imagine Europe as a vast rainforest. Uruguay is part of what we call the Southern Cone, a very clear region that takes its name from the conical shape of the map and includes South American countries like Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and the southern states of Brazil. The other major South American region is the Amazon of course and the third is that which consists of the Andean mountains. The difference between these three regions is well established for its natural features: the Andes unite the continent from Venezuela to Tierra del Fuego and the great mountain ranges are the property of the people and customs. The Southern Cone instead are all integrated into the southern part of the continent which gives the presence of the four seasons similar to what happens at the other end of the Americas as the United States and Canada, but in the opposite way: when it is summer in Uruguay, Winter in Canada. This is quite different from Colombia with all its territory in the tropics. While the mountains provide a variety of climates, our country has only two distinct seasons: rainy and dry season, with short springs and autumns.

The story also gave some differences in the two countries. The Uruguayan territory was subject to Portuguese ambitions on English territory in America. The defense of the territories was led from Buenos Aires and Uruguay was what would be included in the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata, whose capital was Buenos Aires. With the creation of the Eastern Province in the Viceroyalty, both cities had to face the British intentions to conquer the English colonies. While the United Provinces of La Plata declared their independence from the Kingdom of Spain in 1810, Montevideo remained loyal to Madrid until 1928. The ambitions of the then Empire of Brazil through the territories of the Eastern Province and probably for Argentine territory, led to the Argentine-Brazilian War (1820-1828). Until that time was known as the Eastern Province and then purchase the current name.
time as an independent state Republican brought an era of progress and Uruguay became a model of organization and economy. Was called in the nineteenth century the "Switzerland of the Americas." But in 1955 began an economic crisis that led to political destabilization. On June 27, 1973 President John M. Bordaberry closed Parliament with the support of the army. His intention was to create a new constitutional reform "to ensure the republican and democratic principles," but their experiment only led to limit freedom of expression and imprison many political and civic leaders with many missing
. In 1980 he opened the path to democracy and establishing a legal framework in what became known as the "expiration
law" to extinguish the crimes committed by insurgents since January 1, 1962 but excludes crimes committed by the state and security forces against insurgents. economy
economy figures in Uruguay are interesting and make it a country of "firsts." Its 2005 GDP was U.S. $ 16,800 in a country with a population of 3,415,920 people, ie less than the population of Bogota and a little more than the population of the metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bMedellin. Its main industry is the services and construction that takes 75.6%. The rest is distributed in agriculture, forestry, fishing and industry. Unemployment for 2006 was 12.4%, 13.8% underemployment and poverty figures were at 29.8%. Uruguay's main customers are in order Brazil, Argentina and the United States. Economic relations between Uruguay Colombiay occur mainly through regionalales
treated as the CAN (Andean Community) with MERCOSUR. There are frequent flights from El Dorado International Airport in Bogota and Montevideo's Carrasco, many with a stopover in Buenos Aires. A flight to Montevideo from Bogota can take about 6 hours and has cost over $ 300. Colombians do not need a visa to visit Uruguay and vice versa.
How far is Colombia, Uruguay
Taking a short distance from the considerations of teacher Bottinello, Colombia and Uruguay are close, have always been close and always will be close. Ignorance about the countries of our own continent should not be tolerated if there is an intention regional development of economies. Unfortunately, Latin Americans know more than the U.S. and Europe than our own Latin American countries. This is a limit to the growth of the region and the intention to join forces with the challenges of today's world. The crises and conflicts of a single country in South America causes damage to the region that is manifest in many ways. The Colombian conflict has to do with all Latin American countries. We speak more than 40 million Latin Americans, ie, 40 million Colombians who make a great nation whose peace and development is one of the keys to continental peace and development. Even if Colombia is across the continent, north, in a different South American region, it is a big elephant that is hard to miss. relationships Colombia and Uruguay have a long history. First I must say that both countries belong to the same family, the Hispanic culture with all the features this has. Second, both belong to Latin America, but Uruguay, like Argentina and Chile often look to Europe as his model and even its origins and even in Spain, but in other European countries seem to be the pride of the Southern Cone more than its Latin American identity. Non-Hispanic surnames are not a good reason to conclude that do not belong to the region to which belong. Many examples of bilateral relations can be found, like that student exchange agreement of 1920 which indicates the great importance that our people gave to the meeting of the Hispanic nations of Latin America. Here is what I think Colombia Uruguay: a brother country, very close to the Colombians.

The Jewish Holocaust Memorial Montevideo, Uruguay

Across the river, the shore is the sign of forgetfulness, the degraded, the breakdown of man and nature, including himself, where they waste disposed of his absurd hyper, a life sustained by scenery of illusion, of utopias, ie images with no real place and time.

The Jewish Holocaust Memorial on the coast of Montevideo, is nothing a warning for anyone who travels or takes a break from the road and look in the mirror and see the lies that continues to hold to the brink of the collapse of their world and you also observe that where the sublime landscape appears causing stupor, where the paradox of being so insignificant in the presence of the immense and incomprehensible in turn, gives back the lost hope in himself.
