Eight elections in Latin America are indicating a new shift towards the Right: Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, and Brazil. What changed in these countries that usually favored the Left?
On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay discuss the global shift toward right-leaning candidates and policies, and the uncertainty with the midterm elections here in the United States. Scott points to cutting USAID funds to left-wing NGOs as the reason why foreign countries are seeing the Left’s strongholds diminish.
