Ernesto Talvi Pérez (born June 10 1957) in Montevideo[1] is a Uruguayan politician and economist who has been the Minister of Foreign Relations of Uruguay since 1 March 2020,[2]
Born to a Macedonian-born father and a Cuban mother,[3] both of Sephardic (Turkish-Jewish) descent,[4] Talvi graduated from the University of the Republic and the University of Chicago.
In 1990 he was appointed by Ramón Díaz, chairman of the Central Bank of Uruguay, to lead Economic Policy; from 1990 till 1995, inflation came down from 95,41% to 44,25%.[5] He presided over the thinktank CERES since 1997 until 2018,[6] when he left such position to pursue a political career.
Joining the Colorado Party, he contested the 2019 June primaries, and emerged as presidential candidate after beating former president Julio María Sanguinetti at the primaries in June, with 55% of the votes. He drew the attention of many center-leaning, young voters because of his liberal policies and support for same-sex marriage and other leftist policies implemented by the Broad Front governments,[7] describing himself as both "liberal and progressive".
Ciudadanos, his political group within the party won 47% of the 300,000 Colorado votes, the latter representing 12,8% of the total valid votes (third overall rank) in the October general election. As the November runoff election was hold between Luis Lacalle Pou and Daniel Martínez, the Colorado Party entered a coalition of 5 parties, led by the Blanco Party, which ended Broad Front rule of the country for three consecutive terms. Talvi has been the Minister of Foreign Relations of the Lacalle cabinet since March 1, 2020.
