Ricardo Ehrlich
Mayor of Montevideo, Uruguay

9 March 2008: Born 1948, Ricardo Erhlich is the mayor of Uruguay’s capital Montevideo. Ehrlich was briefly imprisoned in 1973 under the military-sponsored corrupt regime of Juan María Bordaberry and was exiled in Europe. He is by profession a biochemist.

Ehrlich was elected mayor in 2005 on a social justice ticket on behalf of the Broad Front, led by current Uruguayan president Tabaré Vázquez. He was elected with 61 per cent of the vote, with his nearest rival, former tourism minister Pedro Bordaberry of the formerly dominant Colorado Party receiving 27 per cent. Bordaberry is the son of the former president and has opposed prosecution efforts against his father on human rights charges since his arrest in 2006.
