This issue centers on the 'Deuda Justa' initiative, led by Cabildo Abierto, which seeks a constitutional amendment to cap interest rates. Proponents argue the current system is 'legalized usury' that leaves nearly one million Uruguayans trapped in the 'Clearing' (credit blacklist). Opponents warn that price controls will cut off credit access for low-income people, forcing them toward dangerous loan sharks.
