PEDRO BORDABERRY

'Pedro Bordaberry' is a Uruguayan political figure.
Most recently, Bordaberry acted as the tourism minister in the government of President Jorge Batlle until 2005. At the same time he was appointed Industry and Energy minister (2002-2003) and Sports and Youth minister (2003-2004).
He also participated in the mayoral elections for Montevideo, but lost to Ricardo Ehrlich, of the ''Frente Amplio''. Bordaberry got 26.9% of the vote; Ehrlich won with 60.9%. But in that election Bordaberry multiplied by three the votes that his party, the Colorado, had reached six months before.
Pedro Bordaberry's decision to seek a political base in Montevideo contrasts with his father, Juan Maria Bordaberry, who had a long association with rural affairs.
Pedro Bordaberry is now building a new group in the Colorado Party, called Vamos Uruguay. This group seeks for ethics, honesty and real participation of the Uruguayan people in public life of the country.
He is a son of Juan Maria Bordaberry, the ex President of Uruguay from 1972 to 1976
