Uruguayan Mexicans are people born in Uruguay who live in Mexico, or Mexican-born people of Uruguayan descent. There are lots of Uruguayan-born persons living in Mexico, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; the historical origins of both nations is common (part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century); Mexico has a much bigger economy, which attracted Uruguayans in search of opportunities; and, from the political point of view, during the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973-1985), ideological affinity made Mexico attractive as an exile destination for several Uruguayans.
Uruguayan residents in Mexico have their own institutions, for instance, the Consultative Councils in Mexico City, Cancun, Puebla, and Toluca.[1]
