Latin America faces year of change

Twelve presidential elections are due to take place in Latin America between November 2005 and the end of 2006. They include seven of the region's eight most populous countries: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Chile and Ecuador.
The key issue is whether the recent left-wing trend in the region will continue, and if so, what will be the likely nature of any new left-leaning government.
Today's Latin America is a very different region from that of 20-30 years ago. Electoral politics are reasonably consolidated in most countries, and there are no military governments.

I think the trend leftwards will continue.
Lula started it all.

And now Morales in Bolivia, also someone well known for his left-wing agenda. Someone not afraid to step up against the leaders of that other country that should go left-wing, namely the U.S.A.
B.t.w. don't know how I reached this website anymore, but always nice to visit a fellow Rotterdam blog! :)

El Salvador's left wing (mainly comunist) political leader passed away 2 days ago... it's time to see a real and rational left wing socialist political party take place... without those ultra revolutionary comunist ideas the existing one has.
