Overview

• The Senate enacted lifelong pensions of four BPC—about 26,300 pesos monthly—for Alzamendi and Rabuñal to be administered by the Banco de Previsión Social.
• The pensiones graciables mechanism originates in Uruguay’s 1830 Constitution, was formalized by a 1992 law, and currently aids 176 beneficiaries.
• Frente Amplio senator Óscar Andrade sponsored the motion to honor Alzamendi’s 1987 Copa América and Intercontinental Cup achievements and Rabuñal’s 1983 continental triumph.
• Partido Nacional senators Sebastián Da Silva and Sergio Botana praised the duo’s contributions but criticized the modest pension level and called for a reassessment of the amount.
• Lawmakers and public figures are demanding greater financial support and institutional accountability from clubs and associations that previously offered no aid.
