Why is Latin America shifting to the right?
🇨🇴 🇵🇪 #Colombia and #Peru recently elected right-wing, #Trump-aligned leaders in close contests, which analysts link to weakening centrist parties and growing concern over crime rather than a clear ideological shift.
🇧🇷 Trump has amplified the trend by hosting regional allies in Florida, though his tariffs on #Brazil had the opposite effect, boosting leftist President Lula’s standing.
🌎 🗳️ Brazil’s October election will be a key test of whether the region’s rightward trend continues.
