Óscar de los Santos
Óscar de los Santos (born February 17, 1962 in Nueva Carrara ) is a Uruguayan politician .
De los Santos is a member of the Frente Amplio . In the mid-1980s, he was General Secretary of the Uruguayan Communist Party in Maldonado. However, he left this party in 1992 and founded the Asamblea Democrática , which can be assigned to the Frente Amplio, at the departamental level and which then joined the Alianza Progresista .
In 1989 he was first a member of the Junta Departamental . Later he replaced the member of the Frente Amplio member Ramón Guadalupe in the 43rd legislative period and sat as deputy member for the Department of Maldonado from September 1 to October 1, 1992 in the Cámara de Representantes . In 1999 he was again elected as Edil for the Alianza Progresista - Frente Amplio in the departamental parliament. In the 2004 elections for the 46th legislative period beginning on February 15, 2005, he was again awarded a mandate for this department at national level as a candidate for the Encuentro Progresista-Frente Amplio-Nueva Mayoría by the electorate. In the following year he finally ran for the local election on May 8, 2005 for the office of Intendente of the Maldonado Department and won. This made him the first politician in this position in the history of the department belonging to the political left. As a result of his election victory, he resigned his mandate in the Uruguayan Chamber of Deputies in order to focus on his duties as head of department. In 2007 he also took over the vice-presidency of the Organización Latinoamericana de Gobiernos Intermedios , which he has held since then. At the beginning of 2010, Gustavo Salaberry briefly replaced him in the role of Head of Department . In the local elections on May 9, 2010 , he then stood for a second term in this position and was re-elected.
