Carlos Lorenzo Fischer Brusoni (30 July 1903 – 7 August 1969)[1][2] was a Uruguayan political figure. He was President of the National Council of Government from 1958 to 1959.
Background
[edit]Of German ancestry, Fischer was born in Fray Bentos.[3] From 15 February 1943 until 9 November 1949 he was a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Colorado Party, representing the Río Negro Department.[4] Between 1950 and 1951 he served as Minister of Livestock and Agriculture.[3]
In 1955 he was elected member of the National Council of Government; after fellow Colorado Party member Arturo Lezama stepped down as President of the body on 7 March 1958, Fischer acceded to that position.[5] During his presidency, three social security laws were passed that established maternity leave with full pay during 6 weeks prior to and 6 weeks after childbirth for all working women, set up an unemployment insurance fund, and extended access to family allowances.[6]
On 1 March 1959,[7] he was succeeded by Martín Echegoyen of the National Party. Fischer then served as first Vice-President the Senate until 1963. During the 38th and 39th legislative period he was a replacing senator from 3 March 1959 until 14 February 1967, with some interruptions.[8] Fischer died in Paris, France in 1969, while serving as Ambassador there.[3]
