Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly Mathematics or Mathematicians as the Main Topic, and of course the wider ones that includes them that are Sciences, and Scientits, or even a wider Personalities, then going to more specific Topics, one could spot Uruguayan Mathematicians and Uruguayan Scientits, and inside this Topic, the Mathematician being honoured in this Issue that is Engineer José Luis Massera, and Italian born Uruguayan Mathematician who researched the Stability of Differential Equations, devloping New Notions of Stability, and Publishing Several Foundational Papers and  influential Textbooks on that Topic. His results on Periodic Differential Equations have been heavily cited and are referred to as Massera's theorem, and his work on the Converse to Lyapunov's Criterion is also influential, and contain the well known Massera's lemma. His textbook (Massera & Schäffer 1966) is also heavily cited.

Then, there are some Topics related with the personality of Engineer José Luis Massera, first, undoubtely the Engineering as it was his Proffesional career, and also Politics, in particular Left-Wing Politics, as he was part of the Communist Party, in which was elected Deputy in 1962 and reelected in 1966. After that he participated in the foundation of the Frente Amplio, Left-Wing Party that since 2005 was elected for National Goverment and succesively relected until present time.

Issue:

As Main Topic: Politics could be the more comprehensive one, and in the path of going to more specific ones, one could spot first Left Wing Political Parties, and then Communist Party, later reducing geographically, Uruguayan Communist Party, and finally the Sectional 20 of the Uruguayan Comunist Party, that is the one commemorated in this release, after being declared National Historic Landmark, to Preserve the Memory that this Sectional, 42 years ago, on April 17th of 1972, was Taken by Assault by more than 500 members of Militar, Police, and Paramilitary Forces, and eight Communist workers were cowardly Assassinated.

The eight Martyrs that were Executed in the Assault were: Luis Mendiola, José Abreu, José Sena, Elman Fernández, Héctor Cervelli, Ruben López, Ricardo González and Raúl Gancio.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first is Human Rights, and the Fight for Human Rights. Then, could be Criminality, in particular Government Criminality, and also Fascism and Government Terrorism.

Also, History, and more precisely Uruguayan History, or Recent Uruguayan History is a clearly a Topic of this release too.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: A complete different topic is included by it, that is Art, in particular Painting, and more precisely Mural Painting.

The Mural shown is the Stamp is the actual Facade of the Sectional 20 of Uruguayan Communist Party, and it was painted in 2013 by the Plastic Artist Alvaro Ortiz, born in the Department of San José of Uruguay.

The Mural of Alvaro Ortiz is plenty of Objects and Symbolism, that makes this release useful in many Topic Collections.

You can easily see a white Pigeon symbolizing Peace, and useful for Birds and Animals Topics.

Also a background of Ears of Wheat that infer Abundancy and Work too, and also it is useful for the Topics of Vegetables, Flora, Agriculture, and even Food.

Vegetables and Flora are reinforced by the Flower shown at the left-bottom corner, that could be placed to bring the Epoch of the Sixties, and the Hippie Ideology or Way of Life.

Then, Music and Music Instrument Topics are included in the Mural with the presence of a Guitar.

At the horizon of the Scene shown in the Mural, there are eight Hands in the Gesture of a Fight Fist, one Fist for each Martyr Assessinated in the Sectional 20. Also, the location of the Fists at the horizon resembles Chimneys of Factories, that gives an additional connection with Work and Industry.

Finally, the scene has his focus on two women, one making a Sickle with a Hammer over an Anvil, being these Hammer and Sickle a clear rererence to the Communist Party, and the other women carrying a Lantern, probably symbolizing the Search for Justice, Human Rights, and Equality, and also making the release useful for a Collection about Fire.

The scene also has Paintbrushs to establish the importance of Art in the Welfare of a Community, Books to add a Link to the need of Education to build a Society, and Wrenches, Spanners and Nuts surely to Symbolize Work.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: besides all the symbolism already mentioned, I think the big message in this release, is Recognition, is Progress of a Nation in Equality, is Progress in Human Rights, is Honour the Fight for Freedom, Honour the Fight for a better Society, is Preserve the Memory of those who died for our Welfare, to Thank them, to Inspire in us the same Fight that they do.

Block:

The block: as it only shows an iconic design of Hands in the Gesture of a Fight Fist in the proof of colour on the right-top corner of the Block, reinforces the Hands or Fists Topics, or even a wider Human Body Parts Collection, and also could be useful for a peculiar Collection of Gestures, or one about Fight or Symbols.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: It is a rather poetic one, as it nicely represent the eight Workers that were Assessinated by Eight Nuts. This Symbolic Creation was not made by the post office graphic designer, it is part of the Facade of the Sectional 20 of the Comunist Party, and it is placed at the left of the part of the portion of it that is shown in the Stamp. This Nuts honouring the Martyrs were not created by Alvaro Ortiz, the Artist that mades the actual Mural that is shown in the Stamp, as they already exist before 2013, the moment in which this Mural was painted.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.

This stamp commemorates the ten years of the foundation of the "Partido Independiente", the newest political party of Uruguay, with parliamentary representation, founded in 2003 and leadered by Pablo Mieres.

The stamp desing is very simple, as it only shows the party logotype, and the logotype built for it 10 years anniversary, all in the purple and yellow colours that represent this party.

The "Partido Independiente", "Independent Party" in English, is a social democratic and Christian humanist or Christian socialist political party of Uruguay. As already said, it is leadered by Pablo Mieres, who was one of its founders, and it presidential candidate in the 2004 national elections and in 2009 ones too.

Its goal is to build a third way away from the heterodox left-wing coalition "Frente Amplio" and the traditional right-wing parties as "Partido Colorado" and "Partido Nacional".

Inside this party coexist social democrats ideas, represented by Deputy Ivan Posada, and Christian Socialists ones, represented by its leader Pablo Mieres. The latter suggested that the party is located in the center-left of the political spectrum, although the Uruguayan population, and mostly or at least many of the political scientists identify the party as a center-right party.

The "Partido Independiente" participated in two national election, and in both get parliamentary representation. At the 2004 one, it won 1.89% of the popular vote, which gives it one seat in the Chamber of Deputies, which was occupied by Iván Posada, and none in the Senate. Then, At the 2009 election, it raised it popular vote to 2.49%, obtaining two seats in the Chamber of Deputies, that are being occupied by Iván Posada again and Daniel Radío, and none seats in the senate. This performance in the last two elections, made "Partido Independiente" the fourth largest party in Uruguay, and the smallest with parliamentary representation.

Block:

The block is only decorated with three circles to show the inks used in printing, and the legend of the party ten years anniversary "10 Años Partido Independiente".

An interesting information that is revealed by the ink colour circles, is that for the pringing of these stamps there were used the ink of each colour itself to produce the ones in the stamps, and not the usual strategy of producing all the colours as the combination of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation, only shows the logotype made for the anniversary and the same legend printed in the block "10 Años Partido Independiente".

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.
