Referendum: Repeal of Law 17.448 of the ANCAP Association
The Ancap Defense Commission (CDA) has begun a process of collecting signatures to request a referendum by which the ANCAP (National Fuels, Alcohols and Portland Administration) Association Act 17.448 can be repealed. This law would enable the de-monopolization of the oil import and refinery and the association of the public enterprise with private estates. The Ancap Defense Commission (CDA) was set up, among others, by the Ancap Federation (Fancap), the National Convention of PIT-CNT Workers, the Uruguayan Federation of FUCVAM Housing Cooperatives and with the support of the Frente Amplio, such that the Referendum went forth and in December 2013, with more than 60% of votes in favor, the law was repealed.
