The Vertiente Artiguista is a social-democratic political party in Uruguay led by Enrique Rubio. Rubio will be the first candidate to the Senate at the October 27, 2019 National Elections.
It is variously translated as Artiguist Tendency,[1] Artiguist Slant,[2] and Artiguist Source.[3] The adjective Artiguist honors the 19th-century national hero José Artigas.[4] The noun vertiente means "slope" literally and can also mean "point of view" and "aspect".
