Listen "A New Rightward Wave in Latin America?"
Episode Synopsis
Right-wing candidates are gaining victories across Latin America. Chile will likely turn right in the upcoming second round of elections, Javier Milei made legislative gains in Argentina and in Bolivia recent elections ended 20 years of Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) party leadership. With key races ahead in 2026, some analysts say the right could become the region’s dominant political force, echoing the sweeping “pink tide” of the early 2000s, but in the opposite ideological direction. Is this a historic turn, or are voters simply rejecting whoever is in power? In this episode, we debate this question with Oliver Stuenkel, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and ask what it could mean for the years ahead.
