[edit] Background

Having originally received a traditional, Roman Catholic education, Nin was a member of the National Party (Uruguay) and mayor in his department of origin (Cerro Largo). He joined the Frente Amplio (Broad Front) only in 1994. Among the issues with which Nin Novoa has been indentified has been the successful efforts to prevent the privatization of water supplies, and other services, amidst fears of its effects on users living in the interior of the country ^[1].

[edit] Vice President of Uruguay

Nin Novoa has been Vice President of Uruguay, under President Tabaré Vázquez, since 2005. He succeeded Luis Antonio Hierro López in that office.

[edit] Complex political associations

Nin Novoa's presence in the government of Tabaré Vázquez exeplifies the highly diverse nature of the coalition of forces which it represents. Having been active in his earlier phase of political life in a conservative party in an area of the Uruguayan interior (Cerro Largo) not known for an overtly radical political culture, Nin Novoa now serves in government alongside former Tupamaro radicals.
