Meat and leather among the highlights for politician

13/12/2018
The head of government in the Uruguayan department of Florida, Carlos Enciso, has said reopening a local packing plant there was one of the highlights of his time in office. Mr Enciso, who has been in post since 2010, will leave office in February.

Rounding up his time in the job, he said the reopening of the meat factory, Frigorífico Florida, in May 2018, eight years after closing its doors, was an important achievement because it has created 200 new jobs.

He said leather and wool production in the department had also been important parts of his focus throughout his time in office.
