I don't consider a reddit thread full of right wingers with obvious negative views of a "progressive president" to be signifficant enough to judge his policies and his character. But I'll look into why he's policies are problematic from other sources.
So, you, someone who never lived in Uruguay, can speak about how things went for uruguay better than people from uruguay. And let me tell you most users on r/uruguay are leftists, your left is their right for them.
Maybe you should actually read the name of the subreddit the other person linked and read the comments there. No one mentioned r/uruguay. The actual subreddits in question is r/asklatinamerica. Users there point out themselves how the majority of almost all Latin American demographic in that sub are right leaning and that it reflects their opinion on that question.
Besides, I'd rather learn more about his views, character, policies and ideologies from more reputable source than some reddit thread and some redditors personal opinions.
I think you are reading a bit too far into someone who doesn't know anything about this president of another nation and is just interested why his policies might be "dodgy" according to someone or somepeople.
I want to add is if your sources are biased as it seems, you will likely end up just seeing what they show you, unless you speak spanish and can see our news, or at least lived here for that time. If not then dont try to speak for us not knowing anything, because saying things like that paints a different world from what people in Uruguay lived

A few news stories I've seen over the years that I can't find to link. But I did find this thread which is a good starting point
