Orsi Meets Ministers to Advance Accountability Report; Cabinet Session Set for Wednesday

President Yamandú Orsi convened with key ministers on Monday to advance discussions on budgetary matters and the crucial "Rendición de Cuentas," Uruguay's official accountability report. The meeting included the Ministers of Economy and Finance, Gabriel Oddone, Interior, Carlos Negro, and Labor and Social Security, Juan Castillo. This preparatory work is essential as the government gears up to submit the report to Parliament by the end of June.

A further cabinet meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, where the analysis of the "Rendición de Cuentas" will officially commence. This report details government spending and performance, a critical document for legislative oversight.

Separately, President Orsi met with Interior Minister Carlos Negro in the wake of a violent incident. Three individuals were killed and two others seriously injured in a shooting that occurred Sunday night in the Cerro neighborhood of Montevideo. The meeting likely addressed security concerns and the ongoing investigation into the attack.

In other government news, Minister of Industry Fernanda Cardona is set to meet with the Regulatory Unit of Energy and Water Services (Ursea) on Tuesday. Their discussions will focus on international crude oil prices and their potential impact on fuel costs in June. The sale of fuel across the border will also be examined.
