Brecha is a Uruguayan left-leaning weekly newspaper.[1]
History
Founded in 1985 by Hugo Alfaro[2] and other journalists that had started their careers at Marcha under the influence of Carlos Quijano. As Quijano had died in 1984 in exile, they decided to take a new name, and try to continue with the original idea: an independent leftist weekly newspaper.[3] Its pages display the work of Hugo Alfaro, Mario Benedetti, Oscar Bruschera, Guillermo Chifflet, Eduardo Galeano, Ernesto González Bermejo, Carlos María Gutiérrez, Carlos Núñez, Héctor Rodríguez, José Wainer, Guillermo Waksman, Coriún Aharonian and Gabriel Peluffo.[4]
