Abstract

This work proposes an analysis of the relationship between the Uruguayan Armed Forces and the Uruguayan society during the government of Tabaré Vázquez, which began in March 2005. We postulate what this government shaped as a critical state of affairs in the military-civil history relationship in Uruguay. Therefore a comprehensive process began looking into acts performed by the soldiers during the dictatorial period (1973-1985), and for which there has not been found any solution. In this scenery the process of investigation takes the government of President Tabaré Vazquéz over the outcome of the political prisoners and the missing people during the dictatorship period and, particularly, due to the first findings of human remains in clandestine graves located under military grounds at the end of 2005, and if that is confirmed, his legacy will present significant changes in the model of military subordination that began to be constituted in Uruguay in the beginning of the 20th century and which lasted for 100 years, only being interrupted during the dictatorial period. So we intend to analyze the peculiarities of the process of democratic transition in Uruguay after the dictatorial cycles of national security of the 70´s and 80´s which swept South America, highlighting other transitions happened in the region as well.
