| Description | It was a spring afternoon. The open road was empty. The sunshine warmed the never-ending greenery on either side of the highway. A cow chewed the cud.
And then, in the distance, they began to appear.
Pick-up trucks with tricolour flags on their rooftops, billowing in the wind, sleek four-by-fours honking their Dukes of Hazzard harmony and bashed-up Beetles with over-excited occupants.
There were hundreds of vehicles, and they all belonged to supporters of Uruguay's left-wing coalition, the Broad Front.
There was no doubt in their minds that they were on the road to victory in this Sunday's presidential elections. |
