Abstract
The article focuses on the significant rightward political shift occurring in Latin America, highlighting the rise of leaders like Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, and Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who have garnered substantial domestic and international support. This shift is characterized by a growing public frustration with crime, economic instability, and a discrediting of socialist policies, particularly in light of the crises in Venezuela and Cuba. The article notes that conservative leaders are increasingly gaining traction in elections across the region, with a notable increase in right-wing identification among the populace, as evidenced by polling data. The implications of this shift could lead to more aggressive policies on crime, economic reforms favoring investment, and a potential realignment in foreign relations, particularly with the United States and China.
