Montevideo, Nov 6 (Prensa Latina) Uruguay looks like a banana republic, former President Jose Mujica deemed on Monday in view of the scandal in force here, after the delivery of a passport to drug trafficker Sebastian Marset.

After meeting with his US colleague Joseph Biden on Friday in Washington DC, Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou has a busy agenda ahead of him Saturday back at home after the crisis sparked by the resignation of Foreign Minister Francisco Bustillo, who was involved in a cover-up following the highly irregular issuance of a passport to wanted drug trafficker Sebastián Marset.

Montevideo, Nov 2 (Prensa Latina) The senator and leader of the Cabildo Abierto (CA) party, Guido Manini, asked President Luis Lacalle on Thursday for explanations about his responsibility in the scandal involving top government officials.

The Uruguayan government on Thursday appointed Diego Escuder as acting foreign minister, following the resignation earlier this week of Francisco Bustillo, who was embroiled in a scandal over the issuance of a passport to known drug trafficker Sebastián Marset.
