Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskPolitical attention will focus on Argentina’s presidential election in October. With the Peronist government divided and out of ideas, and with inflation raging, the centre-right opposition should win, provided it stays united. First it will have to decide on a candidate. Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, the mayor of Buenos Aires, is capable and moderate.
There are elections, too, in Paraguay in April and in Guatemala in June. In Paraguay the conservative Colorado party, which has ruled for all but five of the past 70 years, faces a strong challenge from a broad but disparate opposition. The party has been hurt by sanctions imposed by the United States on two of their leading figures for corruption . Despite discontent, the likely Colorado candidate, Santiago Peña, a former finance minister, has a narrow edge.
In Mexico, meanwhile, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will hope to see his Morena party win a gubernatorial election in June in the important State of Mexico, a stronghold of the formerly ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party. Victory there would indicate that Morena would be well placed for the presidential election in 2024.
On paper, 2023 offers an opportunity for international talks on Venezuela, ruled as a dictatorship by Nicolás Maduro. The United States could offer relief from sanctions in return for Mr Maduro’s accepting a free and fair presidential election, due in 2024. But neither side has much room for manoeuvre. With China now looming large in Latin America, the European Union will hope to regain influence with a summit in late 2023, when Spain holds the union’s presidency.

Pensé que el NeoFeudoTecnoAutoritarismo en Latinoamericana estaría bajo el control de la izquierda pero, al menos, tendremos algo de libertad.
Perhaps - wild as it may be - you could stop seeing everything as “Left vs Right” and begin to see things more centered.. we are all in this together. The boat only moves forward when we row together. Divisiveness is getting old
Not at this part (Brazil)
Supporting Pinochet again?
To say there are authoritarians and then there are democrats despite countries following democracies and people are electing their choice, shows your bias for some parties. Be neutral.
You imply that democrats are not frequently authoritarian themselves.
You wish
False, most authoritarians are hard left.
