"After the pink wave of the beginning of the 21st century, the subcontinent largely turned right in 2025 and 2026, in a sort of logical follow-up to Donald Trump's return to power in the United States. While the latter has not failed to engage in uncomplicated interference in the electoral processes, contributing to the victory of Javier Milei in Argentina in the mid-term elections, José Antonio Kast in Chile, Nasry Asfura in Honduras, Aberlado de la Espriella in Colombia and Keiko Fujimori in Peru, the turn of Latin America reflects above all a change in the priorities of voters, who demand order, security and economic growth and have lost confidence in democracy. The great model is El Salvador's authoritarian president, Nayib Bukele, who has been monitoring gangs by sacrificing democracy and the protection of human rights"
