From the Wall Street Journal,
Costa Rica elects a conservative as Latin America shifts to the right.
I’ve been documenting this phenomenon for a while now: worldwide, politics appear to be moving to the right, especially in Central and South America.
The Journal reports,
Hondurans late last year elected right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura, whom Trump publicly supported. Chileans in December voted in conservative José Antonio Kast. Bolivia in October ended two decades of socialist rule with the election of President Rodrigo Paz. And Argentina’s libertarian leader, Javier Milei, cemented his hold on power in a crucial midterm election in October after Washington provided a financial bailout.
A right-wing candidate is expected to win Peru’s presidential election in April, polls show.
On the march!
