Búsqueda records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is Broad Front-return security: a completed army-in-barrios announcement after a delayed national plan. ## What is established and what is not Established: On 22 June 2026 the government announced Army vehicles with military drivers for selected Montevideo barrios under police supervision. Not established: A unique later homicide coefficient from that Monday, or that the announcement is a completed state of siege. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Interior supervises. The Army drives. Neighbourhood selection sits with those ministries.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date.

If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Government announces Army vehicles will patrol high-crime Montevideo barrios into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The presidency announced. Interior supervises. The Army drives. Neighbourhood selection sits with those ministries. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Yamandú Orsi: https://factrail.ai/people/yamandu-orsi ## Drivers - Orsi Broad Front return: https://factrail.ai/drivers/orsi-broad-front-return - Political Polarization: https://factrail.ai/drivers/political-polarization ## Sources - https://www.gub.uy/ministerio-interior/ - https://www.busqueda.com.uy/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/uy-orsi-army-barrios-2026
