The dark past of socialist Senator Gustavo González

Uruguay

The now Broad Front legislator spent several years receiving a hefty public salary without working


For many years, he held the position of secretary general of FUCVAM (Federación Uruguaya de Cooperativas de Vivienda por Ayuda Mutua), an organization that presents itself as a defender of housing for lower-income sectors, although it has been described as a satellite space of Frente Amplio used for political purposes.

From that position, González promoted a political line aligned with the most radical wing of the Socialist Party, defending regimes such as the communist dictatorships of Cuba and Venezuela.

A profile of a social agitator

Until 2005, during the governments of Partido Nacional and Partido Colorado, he led from FUCVAM numerous mobilizations that, under the demand for housing solutions, sought—according to critics—to destabilize and wear down the management of those governments, favoring the advance of the radical left.

Together with PIT-CNT, he organized marches and strikes that affected the Uruguayan economy.

Accusations of being a "ñoqui" socialist

In the early 2000s, during Jorge Batlle's presidency, González was an employee of the Administración Nacional de Correos.

In practice, he was on union leave, receiving his salary without attending work at that institution.

In 2004, he was assigned on commission by the Socialist Party deputy for Río Negro, Ricardo Castromán. This mechanism allows a public employee to provide services in a legislator's office, generally in advisory tasks in the Palacio Legislativo.

However, instead of performing duties alongside the deputy, González obtained a position in an international organization in El Salvador, where he settled to live.

Meanwhile, he continued collecting his salary as a Uruguayan public employee, while at the same time receiving remuneration for his work abroad.

When deputy Castromán was asked about this situation—why González didn't work in his office but instead resided in El Salvador—he replied that González had concealed from him that he had moved to that Central American country.

Once the period in the international position ended, González returned to Uruguay and resumed the leadership of FUCVAM.

Since February 2025, he has served as a senator for the Socialist Party, leading the most radical sector of the party, characterized by its adherence to the governments of Cuba and Venezuela.

His trajectory has been criticized as that of a "ñoqui" who received public and international organization remuneration simultaneously, while he promoted "anti-imperialist" discourse.
