Recent news impact

No high-signal, recent (within ~45 days) news development was provided that would materially change Uruguay’s short-term relocation outlook (safety, border access, asylum/residence rules, or social stability). The supporting items include general immigration/residency process information and earlier security/border coverage—insufficient for a short-term negative or positive adjustment.
